Defiantly commend s2kray. I'm 23 and often wonder how much easier it would be to jack the car up before starting and setting it on jack stands so I wouldn't have to bend down so far even on a roller chair.

OP, IDK where you're seeing minor swirls in the first pic. Those look like a scary beast to me. Great correction job. Looks new again.

The easiest detail I ever did was at a shop for the manager (buddy of mine). We put the car on the lift - when it was time to do doors - up - time to do hood - move it down - that was the best.

I don't have room in my garage for that. I just got a creeper seat last week - so I can sit and polish / wax etc. It is so much easier. Why did I wait so long?

Looks awesome!

Why did you polish the whole car before buffing? I always do panel by panel so I can buff easier.

There are some pretty good write ups stickied at the the of this forum section. Here's the link:

I learned all the car washing how-to's and DIY from there. I'm still a noob but slowly learning lol.
