Dan, Sounds like a good plan and will be well worth the time spent. By hand sucks, the porter should really help out. I will be doing the same in December on my car, I've been eyeing a porter cable & looking for a black friday deal. I will do the same stages with Wolfgang swirl/polish/sealer.

The Porter Cable helps tremendously. I can't image doing a swirl remover compound without it. It still takes some time and can tire you out controlling the machine but sure as hell beats doing it by hand.

That's something I don't have is a good leather cleaner/conditioner.

Lexol is one of the best and readily avail. Even autogeek.net reccomends it.

Can I find it on a shelf somewhere or do I need to order it?

Oreillys, autozone, walmart. Buy the cleaner and conditoner and a one of those finger nail brushes they usually have at the front of Oreillys. Soft enough for nails soft enough for leather. LOL I agitate the product on the leather with this brush and wipe off with a clean cloth( white so you can see the dirt). You will need to a bucket of water as well. Spray product, dip nal brush in bucket, scrub scrub scrub lightly, wipe off with clean damp towel. The conditoner is simple.

I wish I had the room to do something like this.

Going to come out sick, Danny!

I may take you up on that sometime when I can figure out a free weekend. I'll include beers in my payment.

Take some pictures and post them when you finish! I did something similar (no paint correction and polish) not too long ago and water still just runs off the car. Good products make a world of difference. Good luck and get the Advil ready!

A deeper shine use caranuba, for a longer lasting shine use synthtic wax.

Also, you are going to need a shit ton of microfiber towels! Lol

I generally use O'Rileys or Auto zone microfibers but I cut off the borders. I've also used the ones Zaino sells and the ones that come from Autogeek. They are all about the same.
