I was a bit disappointed you dont do this as a side job. My Z could use the junkmans paint correction and such.
Keep up the good work!
If I did this as a side job, nobody would come see me because my prices are high! Just to give you an idea, I did a 57' Corvette for a guy. I told him it would be $2000 and I would need the car for 3 weeks. That's just for the outside of the car. About the only folks who come see me are the Jay Leno's!

However, I'll show you how to do it for free.
gbrettin, JARblue, Brendan and 1 others like this.

I have always been nervous about using porter cable (though all my friends have them) but after seeing your videos, it seems very easy to use. I think that's on my list of things

Like I said in the beginning of this thread, you should never have to do this entire process more than once, ever. The only thing you should have to do is use a last step polish like Adam's Fine Machine Polish, Meguiar's M205 (or #9) or Z5. You should be following all of my practices on how to touch your paint.

You do wax regularly, correct?

Once you see the results that you get from the polisher, you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

I bought one and used it on black cherry paint-worked like a charm. I also took some automotive tech classes which rec the porter cable-no worries! Watch Junkman videos and you will be A-OK!
