    When to know you have removed enough clear coat?

    So, I did polish some more with the new 2000rpm drill and the DA attachment and what a difference! I couldn't finish the whole truck since it is hard work and got too late.

    Need the best protection from 24/7 FLORIDA SUN and NUCLEAR PIGEON POOP
