doing your lady friend's car shouldn't be a problem because you can knock out a car in no time with a proper orbital buffer. Doing her car by hand would be a real favor. But don't tell her that. Maybe she'll give you the remote control. Try the FK 425 on her car, I think its a nice for most cars but a must have for dark colors.

Removing swirls is another matter. That should take you at least one hour per car since you want to moving as slooowly as possible left to right.

you may want to buy a multi pack of velcro pads. One for cutting, one for polishing, one for sealing and one final buffing. The lake country pads seem to be the most popular. Try detailcity.com if you sign up for the newsletter they'll give you a 10% discount.

there seems to be something very wrong with a James Dean 550 cookie jar. That was his coffin! Well I guess he wouldn't mind.
