Ok, sounds like I just need to be conscious of keeping the heat low. How long should I work a square? I am probably overdoing it. - Is the vehicle in the shade or sun? Sun, but I worked on cloudy days. Car is black, though, so still kinda hot. - What model of backing plate to you have? Astro...

yes, same pad.

I haven't even completed the hood yet. It's pretty large. I've gone through two pads with the same problem. I figured I should work out what I'm doing wrong before it gets really expensive.

I've been attempting to compound my Ranchero with the DA. My first experience with one. And after about three or four squares, my foam pad separates from the hook and loop backing. I've watched Mike's vids and applying pressure at what feels like 10-15lbs including the weight of the polisher...

Ok, I made an introductory post at grandprixforums.net. Guess I'll take the mechanical questions over there. I'm missing the drivers side GTP badge. Trying to decide whether to replace it or de-badge.

Not sure I want to go through several motors. That doesn't sound good.

Love it!! Those are the exact wheels I pictured on mine.

Well, I guess the case of the discolored wheels is solved. My intention was to be rid of the gold stripe and emblems, but now I wonder if I should embrace the gold. Black/gold is not really my thing, but it is what it is. I'll have to think on that one.

Well, I'll be darned. They don't look gold enough to be intentional.

Re: Mike Phillips style Restoring Single Stage Paints on my Black Ranchero. And how do I know when the paint has stopped absorbing the oils?

Thanks

Hello, I'm Clay. I'm new here. So, I've had this Ol' black 1979 Ford Ranchero sitting around here for about 10 years, and I decided to make that thing look better. Naturally, I grabbed some rubbing compound and went at it...in a small area. I was not happy with the results, so I've been...
