I know an awesome detailer - my fiance
He does it as a side job though. He just did a black Porsche today and we have a black 70 challenger (used to be Plum Crazy Purple but the guy had it painted black ) in our garage that needs to be detailed. BTW I do my own detailing on my cars. I can't wet sand or us his buffer though. I use a porter cable orbital. If I have a deep scratch, I have to ask him to get rid of it for me.

Thats awsome looking good so far. Other Detailers would agree the da is an awsome detailing tool. I mainly use my rotary buffer but thats how i was trained. Another thing is my DA is a blue light special @ walmart. So im looking into a meguires DA v2.

I heard one guy say "the buffer dont come out the door unless 400 or more"

For those who want to see my new tail lighs here they are.

Running light and brake light

Where In maryland are you located. Im only about 20 minutes north of the Maryland, PA border in Lancaster County.

Gothkid, I use the Meguiars DA G110v2 and its a great machine. And I get almost all my products from We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store, If you buy with the discounts, and or free shipping codes. And Buy products in gallons etc.. you can save lots of money.
