I completely agree.
My grandfather bought this truck brand new from the factory (originally a 307, 3 speed, White with Blue interior) and my Dad restored it back in 1994. My dad threw a book of paint samples in front of me and said you get to pick, even at 8 years old, I knew that everything looked it's best in black. However, I was too young to realize how big of mistake that was, lol...in hindsight, I would have picked the factory white.
But this is my third vehicle, 2000 Camry is my daily and a 2005 GTO is my weekend bruiser, this truck is the weekend cruiser.
The funny part is, I can drive my truck for 28 minutes and get more compliment than my GTO gets in two years...haha. And my GTO is pretty damn cool.

Now just use the detail spray for quick clean ups. Every 6 months repeat the fine glaze followed by machine wax (shouldn't take 11 hours) and she'll always look sharp.

I completely agree on the Severe Scratch Remover, but I've had these products (Swirl/Haze, Machine Polish, Machine Wax) for three years and never even opened them, so I decided just to use what I had instead of buying more product.
But, there are some scratches that would have definitely benefited from a more aggressive cutting product. I plan on selling my Porter Cable and buying their new Flex. Have you had a chance to use the Flex?
