I like the 57 Nomad and the 70 Chevele SS!!

What a coincidence. Yesterday, I thought the bath vanity top, which is cultured marble, needed a good buff and seal. Mostly fro make-up and hairspray residue from the wife. I thought of taking some XMT 360 to it.

Unfortunately, all I've got now is an older Griots and an older PC. I do have a cheap Harbor Freight rotary to try. Maybe I will strap it on and practice on a POS driver or the lawnmower or tractor. My wife will definitely thin I've lost it!

If my wife had a clue as to how much i have, how much it cost, etc. she would have a cow. But I'm the saim way with tools, power tools, music stuff, ets. Hers is clothes, shoes and beauty/health supplies.:cheers:

I would love to learn how to do one in 3-4 hours, mine seems to take me more like 3-4 DAYS. :eek:

My thoughts too, just wanted others too. Thanks.

A pic of the 57 we finished in 2008

Bump! Anybody else care to take a stab??

Those ornaments are cool. Would look great on my tree.:props:

Mike, I wanted your opinion on using a PFW wool pad on a ROB mahine (Griot's or PC). Or are these best left to a rotary? Also, do you have plans in the works for a thread on the 54 Mercedes detail?

Great review. We currently have an older Griots rob (like it but no changeable backing plate), an original PC 7424 and a cheap Harbor Freight rotary. I would love to get a new mahine, but can't justify until one of the others craps out.

Great job Sparkie! Probably the best that car has looked in some time.

Re: SEMA 2009 Day 3 Thanks for all the pics and updates Mike and guys. A SEMA should definitely go on my "bucket list"!!:cheers:

We were priming the pads with product, then applied a circle of product, spread around and polished at speed 6 on Griots with moderate pressure for 3 to 4 passes. A spritz of water helped befor 3-4 passes with lighter pressure. I have spent a lot more time reading about paint polishing than...

Alldone Tuesday with an old model Griots DA, we also have a PC. No rotary at this time, although I would like to get one to learn, but not on this paint. I think we were trying to rush the process. This car is just so long and black and curvy and black. But, what we have done so far looks...

We sarted with an orange 5.5" ccs pad then went with the yellow 5.5" ccs pad. We then tried the 205 on a white 5.5" pad. We ended upwith the PG on a yellow pad, SIP on orange and nano on white. This seemed to work best. We were trying to go to a two step with the 105/205, to cut out a...

We were polishing the 59 Impala on Tuesday evening again. After not being comletely satisfied with the PG, I odered the M105/205 combo to try since it was the latest rage. I did like how it finished down better than the PG, but we could not get the amount of swirl/scratch removal from the 105...

Thanks HED, I thought Optimum polish would come up, based on research I've done on this forum, however, I was hoping for some suggestions of products I currently have in the basket.

I was just wanting to know what some of you experienced pros and others use to get a longer working time from Powergloss? Any tricks or secrets other than a water mist? Thanks, JK
