Most of the plastic bumper parts are not even painted in the same factory or at the same time as the main body of the car. They get bolted on pre-painted.

I use FK425 detail spray during the spring pollen months. I have been using it for probably 10 years. Probably better ones out there, but FK425 has been easy and does help repel the dust. More will blow up when you start driving. I liked the Kenotek detail spray but I only tried one bottle...

Yes, they would work. You should be able to remove them with a white polishing pad.

SprayNine APC would be a good choice. Works well on interiors. No ill affects.

Funny how many people that haven't tried it have such a strong feeling about it. I am at 3 months with TW HS AIO and then 2 layers of the spray seal and there is no noticeable degradation so far. It is still slick feeling and the beads look the same when the car is clean. No maintenance...

The TW Hybrid Solutions spray seal blows CMX out of the water. And its cheaper.

Tony, I own a Festool RO90DX. The DA offset is smaller than normal. Its not 8mm. I think it is 5mm, maybe even 3mm. So it acts more like a jiggling rotary. So the rotary PRM and the DA OPM are a little amped up to compensate. It also makes it easier to handle which is what you need on...

Twice the price of a G8 sounds reasonable to me.

There is a Festool compact gear driven sander/polisher. 3.5 or 4'" pads. It is expensive > $500.

Good process. Your after shots prove it.

I bet the curves on a classic car are better to learn how to machine polish properly than the mainly flat panel cars we have today.

Mike, I've never seen a photo of the G8 next to the GG3. Even the griots website doesn't have one. Could you please take a photo of the 2 side by side? Just curious.

Make sure that the cord is pushed in all the way. There are people finding out that it takes more force than what they thought for the cord to fully seat.

Wear gloves though. That stuff does a number on my hands.

The Megs Wash Plus+ is very similar to a Comet wash if you have any of that on hand (obviously milder). Like a softscrub for the paint. I used it on a single stage red Tacoma that was oxidized. I am convinced it removed a lot of oxidation (I could see it in the mitt) and made the first...
