Good luck with the job search, Dusty.
Very late post but I buffed my car last Friday as it was getting a very noticeable haze from sitting in the sun for the past 2 years since I last buffed it. Washed it, clayed it, compounded it, polished it and applied some sealant/wax. I used a Porter Cable random orbital to do all this shit. My car looks great but it took me all day, pretty much from 1030am - 5pm.
