    Picked up Griot's G9 - Is it supposed to come with an owner's manual and wrench?

    As per the title.....was I supposed to get an owner's manual and wrench in the package?? All I got was the polisher and cord. Other than that, looks and feels so much better than the generic DA I had been using! Can't wait to test it out!

    I still have the receipt and it's in the box.... ;) It looks like this site has quite a few package deals that are tempting....

    Mike - My apologies, as my post was lacking info, and you were quick on the reply. I have edited my post. My DA is actually a Shurhold, and it came with a 5" backing plate with velcro. Is this sufficient?

    Improving Badly Oxidized(?) Paint?

    Ooohhh, I would love to try that, but I'm a little scared. I haven't even used a DA before. I would like to become skilled enough to be able to tackle the dang water spots on my wife's jet black Dodge Challenger!! That thing water spots just thinking about rain, much less tap water. The hood...

    Even as bad as it is? One of the reasons for messing with the Jeep is so that I can practice for my other vehicles. I may experiment a little, and try separate techniques on different panels. The hood, fenders and driver side door all show the chalkiness. However....I may end up with an...

    Alrighty.....got done with Mike's SS restoration article using #7 as the basis. Wow! Great information! I will definitely start out with this technique. One difference in my application is that I am not working on original paint that needs to be preserved. I just want to improve what I...

    Improving Badly Oxidized(?) Paint?

    Here are a couple of pictures. My apologies on the photos, as they were all I had, and the focus of these shots was clearly not the bad paint...and, although it was a sunny day and a bad photo, the hood and fender tops aren't reflecting anything. That white chalkiness is probably actualy worse...

    I have some that should give the gist.....do I need a host site to post photos, or can I simply attach? Also, the instant email notification isn't working, so my apologies on the late replies.

    Improving Badly Oxidized(?) Paint?

    Ok, very good! Thank you! More questions: So, would I condition with #7 and then move into compounds? Would I just use #7 over and over? If the results aren't good enough, even with compounds, is wet or damp sanding the next step? Is the #7 conditioning process going to improve the...

    Improving Badly Oxidized(?) Paint?

    Hello everyone! I am new to the forum, and was hoping I could get some advice. I picked a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 last summer for my son to use when he's ready to drive. He's only 13 now, but I wanted to drive it myself for a couple years or so to make sure it's up to specs for him. I spent the past...
