All of you guys who have posted pictures so far have an awesome collection going!
dietz:Try some Dr. Color Chip, easy to use, color match is decent to good depending on the color of your car. |

Sorry, just saw your question. I skipped the polisher for now since its brand new...then again I have noticed some.micro scratches in the bright desert sun. Probably from the clay bar, even though I've been super careful. My next purchase will be the requisite porter cable and some light pads + polish.
