I think I will have to go with the black beauty since the 280 needs some loving to be in top shape.

Thanks for coming over, those guys are a trip.. We have to do that again sometime..:happydance:

Hey! I resemble that remark! Had a blast! Thanks again!

I did my part as a officer I stood around and made sure the work was done correct. LOL. Next time we will have to bring enought tools that way each person gets a wheel.

So today since I have a couple of weeks before any more car shows I decided to do something about the orange peel I see in my factory paint. granted the car is shiney but I keep looking to get that perfect look. I started out by stripping all of the wax using dawn, followed by a clay bar. then I tried to polish using the 105 course cut.

It did really well for getting any scratches I had but the orange peel is still visiable so I decided to get more agressive with the problem.

so now it the time to use the hexlogic orange cutting pads and the 105 on my cylo polisher to bring back the shine. hopefully it will work. stay tuned for more.

You didn't take a picture of the water you used to wetsand... haha

The cyclo is awesome! It will polish up your car with ease! I'm thinking about picking up one of the new Rupes. Not as cool as the Cyclo... But still cool.

Looking forward to seeing your results!

:tup: i know that will work :D

was not anything special but if you really want to see it I will go out and take a pic. :icon23:

I really like the dual action of the cyclo. it does quick work just a little hard for the tight spots.

Hopefully it will come out better than I started. :ugh2:

Sweet! Cant wait to see pics!

Yeah, but you get a flex, PC, or Griots for the tight spots. The Cyclo will make quick work of the large areas (as you know). It's going to look awesome when you get it done :tup:

The first polish is on the hood. starting to look good. a little more work and it will be where i want it. pics will be taken tomorrow.

Hey Kelly any updates on this? I might want to do it in the future.

I am taking my time to make sure I do everything right. I am waiting on some additional polishing pads to put the finishing touches on before I wax.

Have you taken photos of the process? I was hoping to see each step.
