Been talking to my holmes Tony (Grimm Reeper) for months now about buffing my car. Finally got around to driving out to East Jesus, Nowhere (aka. Jonesboro) to give my 15 year old paint a little longer to live.
Onto the pics!

This picture doesn't accurately describe the awfulness of my trunk. I think the previous owner used to set luggage on it or something.

Well then there was like 3 rounds of high-speed buffing with misc. ninja compounds and then we pulled it out for a couple no-wax pics...

That looks quite a bit better

Not a good shot for flake, but she's-a-smooth

And he did a little touch-up painting on the lower part of the 1/4. that scratch was all nasty and rusty... looks so much better

Well hello, flake! Long-time no see.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/jmoo711/DSC_4277.jpg
BAM!

Car looks so much better. Pictures don't quite do the improvement justice. It's amazing what someone that knows what they're doing can do for you paint. I've been hand-waxing my car for the last couple years, but it just doesn't hold a candle. Makes me want to learn how to use the high-speed... or keep 'letting' my friends 'practice' on my car.
Thanks, Tony. Can't say enough about your skillz on keepin' my car on point.
