Nice, that is what my red is looking like. Are you using a porter cable? What compounds did you use?
It was a while ago so I forget exactly what was used. It was a Porter Cable, Meguiar's 105, Menzurna's (forget which one exactly), and finished with Wolfgang sealer

Do you mean the 105 compound?
Anyone feel like detailing my car for free so they can post it in this thread? Lol jk.
I need to learn how to wash and detail cars. Black cars get dirty so quickly.
2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 (black mica, current daily driver)
1993 Mazda Miata C-Package (brilliant black, GF's daily driver)
2007 Mazda MX-5 PRHT (brilliant black, sold)
Improper washing causes a lot of the hazing. Washing and drying with the right tools keeps the paint looking nice once it has been detailed.
Lol yea, I got a little dyslexic

what's hidden underneath all that sun, rain, dust, daily drive, and oxidation.

I'm scared to use a powerful buffer. I have burned paint before. Any tips on how to avoid this other than practice. I really don't want to ruin another paint job.
Get a DA style buffer like the porter cable 7424. It's not as powerful as a rotary, and because it uses a duel orbital system it is almost impossible to burn the paint.
It's a lot easier to use for non-professionals and still provides good results.
