Well the first time I buffed my car when I got it... Between two people took 12 hrs combined. And that's with me doing everyday for a living an average a job takes less than two haha. I use a rotary buffer for the compounding then gradually incorporate more polishes until it is ready to foam pad buff. Between the two is isn't unusual to go over the whole car 5 times to get all imperfections out. . Then apply pure polish by hand and wipe off. Then use wax/paint sealant as a final coat.

I could go into more detail sometime.. I'm just onmy phone right now haha

You guys and crazy weather. We haven't been above 40 in awhile but also it hasn't snowed but once. Except tonight is supposed to see a good amount of acumulation.

My monte is pretty dirty right now, but its just dust from various projects (on the monte and the garage in general). Haven't washed her since I tore back into the engine for the top end upgrades. The driveway has a decent incline to it, and I'd hate to have to push it from the incline back into the garage.

Oh well, maybe I'll have everything buttoned back up by next spring, so I can wash her again...
