Audrey & Juan learning to use a Rotary Buffer on a 1966 Corvette


At this last weekend's class we had a a married couple attend, Juan and Audrey and both were new to machine polishing. Over the course of the 2-day class they both received lots of hands-on training and hands-on practice using a variety of tools.
