it's not too hard, just steady and equal streaks, keep it about 6-10 inches from the light, and just take your time, maybe i'll make a video

Looks good, I vote black around the botom,

Those look like swirl marks to me, didn't you have it buffed out last summer or the year before?

I'm planning on black hopefully haha

yeah I had it buffed out and it looked good, but I was learning on my own and the crappy buffer pad that I took to it made a mark literally everywhere it touched, so that's what you're seeing in the pic

Gotch yeah good quality pads are a must! Honestly to work on your skill go to the junk yard and grab a hood, maybe a fender ect to practice on, then sell them on Clist to recoup the cost, that is my plan this year

I honestly won't touch a car with a highspeed yet, I did take it to my Saturn last year and had minimal swirls but still had them, I have been doing this on the side for a few years now but I refuse to do a customers car with a highspeed, D/A buffer is harder to mess things up but on the down site it doesn't take out defects like a highspeed can,

Here is a nice little article I have book marked
High Speed Car Buffing- Information Site
