and yes it has been detailed before about 2 years ago they didnt show up in pics but there was rotary trails and holograms on both doors and the tailgate obviously the guy just compounded/glazed and called it a day so i had to be very careful with the clear

Orbitals can take a good deal of time depending on the severity of the paint condition. It can be improved with more aggressive product and pads but I always like to go easier with longer time than more aggressive that takes less time. Good call on whipping out the rotary. With the orbital (porter cable), I usually go over about 1 inch/sec with a mild abrasive swirl cutter and it works pretty well. Looks great once again!
