If you look into the reflection of the sideview mirror, there's some inception level shit going on.

Nice job!

I worked on mine all last weekend with my Porter Cable.. I wish I had just spent the money on a Rupes.. I totally appreciate how much work that must have taken... whatever polish/polisher you used.

How is it that much better than a Porter Cable?

Rupes are a very good line of machines, but they are expensive (>$350) and you have to ask yourself if you're going to polish once or twice a year, is it worth it? A porter cable, or even better, a Griots, is really all you need to jewel the hell out of anything… If I was a professional I'd do a Rupes, and using it 3 to 4 times a week. As I use a polisher about 3 times a year, the griots works fine.

That is beautiful!

If you don't mind, could you share your process, types of wax/polish, and orbital grades?

it still has peel, i dont think anything short of sanding and repainting can get rid of that.

not to take away from the amazing results.
