Stuart used a Porter Cable to do the cars with different/pads compounds. Thread is here, has more shots of the finished cars later in it from me: http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?...067&hl=wash

Products and advice from polishedbliss.co.uk top guys there, they do amazing details on some of the most insane cars...seeing an RS4 or 911 there is getting boring :lol:
