I run the speed around a 3½ to a 4.  Great buffer IMO. 
:iagree:  Great buffer and I run it on the 4 setting too. To be honest, I'm not a huge detailer nut, but I like to do a good job early on and then have low effort to prep for shows afterwards for a long time (especially if the car is garaged).  It's more a labor of love when I do something as extreme as what was done on the SRT-8.  ;D

Great finish on this work! I'm getting more interested in detailing and have recently invested a lot. I find the result well worth the time and money paid. First time I used a clay bar was jaw-dropping  :icon16:

Enjoy your car!!

Clay bars are great.  :2thumbs:  So easy to use and it make an amazing difference to the feel of the finish.  Just don't drop it on the ground  :scared:

Everything came from Girot's Garage.  Used the clay bar, then #4 polish and followed with Girot's liquid wax.  Expensive stuff, but my brother has a complete kit that he let me use.  :2thumbs:  I gave him $10 for supplies.
