Here are a few before pictures of the hood and one from the driver side. I'll post some after pictures of the how the hood currently looks later. Close up of the hoods paint condition. Here is the pic of the rear driver side that has some pretty bad scratches.

I just got the GG polisher and although I've never used a DA to polish I absolutely love it.

I just got my GG polisher last weekend and I love it. I just got the 6" orange polishing and red wax pad though. What are some better polishing pads to use because the orange pad doesn't seem like it cuts very much even with meguiars ultimate compound.

Why 5.5 pads instead of Griots 6"?

I'm pretty sure it's oxidation. I am able to polish out the oxidation and scratches it just looks like the polish is drying while I polish. I am only able to get about 3 passes on a 16 - 20" section before the polish starts to whiten and dust starts coming off of the pad. Don't get me wrong...

I am outside but I am under a car port in the shade. And today (about 7 or 8 pm) it was raining outside and cool.

O.K. I tried using Meguiar's Ultimate Compound today and I really liked the way the hood turned out. One thing I can't figure out though is what's going on while I'm polishing. When ever I polish either with the Griot's Machine Polish 3 or the Meguiar's Ultimate Compound is the polish dries...

I.....Probably won't be able to make that...thanks for the invite though.

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you get something great for a present.

I just got started using a polisher so I don't really have any other polishes. I was looking at Meguiars Ultimate Compound, would that be a more aggressive compound that Machine Polish 3? Also the only pads I have are the Griot's orange polishing pad and the red wax pad. Other than waiting...

Thanks for the response Mike. I have watched the video and went through the entire write prior to even ordering my polisher. I'm going to try and take some pictures of the truck I'm working on so maybe I can get some input on how I should work on the defects in the paint. Just for...

I just purchased a Griot's 6" orbital polish and wax package from AG.... *Waits for cheering to stop* .... and I had a few questions I can't find the answer to. First off, I am using Machine Polish 3 and the Griot's orange pad on a 1999 Ford truck that has some pretty bad oxidation on the hood...

Well I ordered my Griot's 6" this morning and it's been almost 9 hours and no confirmations if it's even been received.... I've been anxiously waiting to order and get it. It almost feels like I've been waiting for Christmas and now I'm wondering if santa even got my letter :confused:

Thanks for the info. I guess I never noticed that in any of the articles / write ups I've seen. I'll be taking some pictures of the victim...I mean project car prior to me starting cleaning it up. Dub, what is the best way to clean thr Griot's (or any other) pads? I think the Griot's stuff...
