    How long to work compound? Halos on XLR have me befuddled

    I was running it about 4.5, but I have now moved up to 6. I have a big white mark on the back plate so as long as I see it go around 3 times per second I think i am ok. But I think it is time for a better polisher

    How long to work compound? Halos on XLR have me befuddled

    If I put too much pressure on the Meg G110V2 it stops, spinning, first problem. I tried the DAT compounds from Chemical Guys the V36 and V38. But I think the paint is very hard on this Cadillac and I finally got things tuned in, but I think I need a better polisher that I can put pressure on...

    How long to work compound? Halos on XLR have me befuddled

    Well just tried it again, went with a white LC CCS pad and M105 and worked a much smaller section, slower and adjusted my pressure and then the compound I wiped off was not dry this time and voila!!! Halos gone!!!! I will venture a guess and say the hood of this XLR is about 95%+ corrected...

    How long to work compound? Halos on XLR have me befuddled

    Reading the doc that Kevin Brown of the KBM method wrote up recommends against using anything like that as it can cause clumping and uneven particles for the polishing.

    How long to work compound? Halos on XLR have me befuddled

    I think that may be part of the issue, I was outside and it was cloudy and 70 with a good breeze but when I would wipe off the compound it was hazed over like dried wax or sealant. Should I work even a smaller area then and make sure the compound stays wet when I wipe it off?

    What is Ford Thinking!? (New Mustang spy photos)

    CALM DOWN!! If you know anything about car body makeovers they use mules to test technology, parts etc. this is a s197 body style being used for just that. They will cobble stuff on it to test it but they won't show us the complete car for awhile yet

    Had to buy a brand new OEM painted take off bumper for my new '12 GT....

    Plus I plan on putting in Long Tube Headers with a catted shorty X-Pipe and deleting the resonators and then adding a Steeda Ghost Cam / Performance tune. The Cam idle sounds sweet. This is kind of what I am shooting for :) This has no cats on it, but the shorty x-pipe has high flow cats and...

    I have the Steeda Ultralites and Konis on my 11 GT and the stance is SICK!!! Also I tried the GT500 mufflers first and they were still too quiet. I went with the Roush axlebacks and they sound AMAZING!!! I went with Concept One RS-55 wheels in 20 x 9 and 20 x 10 but decided to have then...
