polish

<< < (3/5) > >>

MJ355:
u can bye a cutting compound as well but i just use the polish its no prob on 2 pack

stingray:
Auto Glym is the pommy version  of Meguires  a lot of  concourse car show owners use it on their Jags, Rollers, Aston Martins etc. But a good one is Meguires NXT TECH WAY. You will always get a better finish if you polish on by machine. If you are not sure which one is the best,  mix Meguires and Auto Glym together. I have.

TIPPA:
might try it next time then ;-) i've got an electric buffer but haven't been game using it on the vette yet ;mmm worried i'll burn the paint (its one of those 11" makita angle grinder lookin' ones) do you use a wool or foam pad? :}

stingray:
a makita angle grinder is not a buff machine, check the revs, buff machine is about 2000 revs, a polish buff is better at around  1200-1500 revs. I dont have one of this brand but Bunnings have 6 speed variable speed  buff sanding machines at about 78 or 98 bucks gmc brand. I use a short wool pad.

TIPPA:
No worries stingray, thanks 4 info. Mine is a buff, it just looks like a big angle grinder thats all! ;35  Just mentioned that as i've seen different type that has two rotating heads side by side. Used mine on other cars with acrylic but not on 2pak. Always used wool pads but since have seen foam ones and hear they are to go these days ;-)
