Wow, great job :eyebulge:

Really, the only problem I see is that you didn't grab a Guiness and make a black and tan. :wink:

Very nice work!

I see you used a Flex. I have a Porter Cable, which works OK for me (I don't cause swirls in the first place), but I don't have the oomph to do the job on a few cars I worked on for friends.

If I may ask, how much of an upgrade from the PC is the Flex?

honestly is a huge difference, you can correct soooo much more with a flex. I highly recommend it. I am now waiting to purchase a Metabo rotary with a 3m backing plate. but i dont have a car to detail until next month so it can wait.

Would you say the PC is good enough for paint that doesn't need a lot of correction? I take great care to wash properly so I really only need slight correction every 6 months or so and I've been using the PC random orbital. Would you say that I still should move up to a flex?
