This is my 1996 Grand Prix GTP that I recently acquired for a daily driver/winter beater. This car was in rough shape with bad water spots and swirls. I bought a Chicago Electric rotary polisher recently and this was my first time using it. I was quite impressed by the speed in which I was able to correct the paint. In the past I have used the PC for light swirl removal on my Mustang and it would have taken me much longer to do this level of correction using the PC. This was my first full paint correction detail. I would love to hear some C&C, so I can continue to refine my detailing skills.
The car was washed with Meguires Gold Class, wheels cleaned with Armor All wheel cleaner, glass cleaned with Invisible Glass, and tires dressed with Armor All tire foam.
Paint Correction:
Meguiars clay with meg's QD
Menzerna Power Gloss via rotary and wool pad
Pinnacle XMT Fine Swirl Remover via rotary and white polishing pad
Meguiars NXT Tech Wax

Afters:
It's quiet, smooth over bumps, and has reasonable passing power. Only down side is it burns some oil. No white smoke or anything, but seems like 1 - 2 quarts are burned up every 3000 miles.
