Exterior DIY DETAIL.

[EZ Money]

The black paint is looking good, but I agree that if you polished and waxed by hand, you wasted time. Mothers has a wax/polish ball that I have been using for years that works great. Mequire's also sells a DA that is designed for the home user that makes it almost impossible to burn your paint.
Also, I have recently stripped my wax and went with a sealer. The truck just seems to rinse off clean now. That is an option I would recommend to anyone.

I have a oscillating buffer ( kinda like a vibrator sander )...... Buff's out fast & easy.

I took out the darn swirl marks the detailers left when I bought the '05 last year.
