Shyyyyyyt.

Buff that bad boy up. You'll murder yourself dong it by hand. The swirls and scratches are still good and plenty so it looks like you may want to work the product in a little longer but it's a good start.

As for the splatter, your gonna get that, especially if you use too much product. Try putting the product on your pad, rubbing it on manually then turn the buffer on when it's resting on the paint.

Have fun and look forward to the final results.

Oh and Burlington, NC. Nice. I went to school just down the road from you at Elon. Looks like Coach K is having another fine season this spring too!
