    Suggestions for cutting pad on rotary polisher:

    Greetings all I just bought a 4th gen F-body that had been sitting for literally decades within a warehouse that they painted fire trucks at. There is a ton of overspray on it and I am hoping to get suggestions on the best cutting pads for a rotary. I have a DA and a rotary, but the DA will be...

    Black paint dulling options...

    Thanks fellas, out of respect for the vehicle alone it was well overdue and deserving some attention. Add in the fact it is my girlfriend's pickup she bought new in High School and has held onto this whole time (despite having other cars), it was well worth putting in the time for. The Air...

    Black paint dulling options...

    I finally got around to taking a swing at the dull paint on the girlfriend's 99 Ranger. I used a DA buffer with Meguires Ultra Cut compound and followed it up with a coat of NuFinish. It turned out pretty well. I still have work to do on it but it defintely is a night and day difference...

    Black paint dulling options...

    I added a couple shots of the girlfriends Ranger and my Cobra. The lighting makes it hard to discern the fading on the Cobra. You almost have to see it in person. The Ranger, self explanatory lol. I am wondering where to start with the Ranger....

    Black paint dulling options...

    Greetings fellas, always good to see/hear from fellow Ford fans. My pleasure to serve! I don't have any close ups of the Cobra's fading (hood, tops of fenders only). I attached a pic of it from January when I pulled it out of the garage for a quick wash. I can tell that it is very much...

    Wnating Tool Box Polishing Suggestions

    Wanting not wnating... Hello all, I recently splurged and bought myself an upper and lower Husky 40 in extra deep tool cabinet after having worked out of a much smaller Craftsman upper and lower loaded to the gills for many many years. I beat the hell out of the old Craftsman as I do...

    Black paint dulling options...

    Greetings all, I am new on here and looking to take a stab at resolving the fading issue going on with my 98 Ford Mustang Cobra's black paint finish. I keep the car garaged and use NuFinish in the summer months on it. The black finish still seems to be dulling over time and I was wondering if...
