After being clayed it was masked up for some rotary polisher abuse:

You can just about see here the swirls in the paint that need to be removed:

Tomorrow it will be getting another pass with the rotary on the paint on some panels, a coat of sealant and a couple of coats of wax. Also the interior will get a spruce up.

I'll update this with day 2 pics later in the week.
