Did this Truck last week using my Griot's 3 inch Orbital Polisher, 3M Discs and Spar Urethane,

After about 35 minutes of applying the Spar Urethane it started to rain on me but over all the work was done and I checked out the truck just yesterday and it still looks the same very nice

I love how the rains beads up on the Headlights the Spar Urethane only had about 35 min to cure before it started to rain, as far as the Fog Lights go I thought it was going to be a challenge they were heavily oxidized but using my Griot's 3 inch Orbital Polisher it was a breeze, so far I can not say one bad thing about this machine, Works really well on Headlights and Fog Lights not to mention some many other things it can do.
Your thoughts and comments greatly appreciated.Feed back please

They look great Louie, especially the Fog Lights....Good Job!!!:props:
 
The lights look good on the old Ford. Seems you have got this process down pat.Glad to see the use of the Griots 3" buffer.I also have the Griots 3" machine and find it comes in handy. Seems some people expect a power house like the 6" unit and are disappointed. I like the smaller size and weight. It may require a little more finesse but to me its worth it. Again your headlight work seems to be top notch.

Thanks Cutter and 2old2change, Haven't tried the 6 inch from Griot's yet but I was thinking about buying it, you're right this little machine is incredible and it has a lot of power I found myself using speed 1 and maybe 2 at different times but that's it, if you go any higher in speeds it is too powerful well for headlights anyways lol, Overall it is a great little machine:dblthumb2:

thanks again
