Great minds think alike :-)

Haha sorry dude! :-)

Well here they are finally mounted and balanced and got just enough time to put them on last night when i got home,with a quick wipe of detail spray, no tire shine on yet.

I used a drill and the drill adapter, so I would only have 1 pad going...I have a cyclo, plus a drill spins faster and for headlights you don't have to worry about burning through clearcut or anything

Yes, you are exactly right! :-)

You dont think so? lol....

Had some decent weather over the weekend still in WV and thought I would polish my headlights on my daily driver a 2004 Toyota Tacoma, they were starting to look pretty bad and I have never touched them before and I thought they ended up coming out great. My attack method- -Clay Bar'd with Detail Spray -Drill with Microfiber Pad then Foam Pad with Paint Correcting Polish -Drill with Microfiber Pad then Foam Pad with Paint Finishing Polish -Quick Sealant -Finished with Americana Wax

HaHa I like that I just added a few pictures ;-)

If my TPMS sensors come this week I will get these mounted and balanced on Friday :-)

Dave-Where could I get the flannel towels you are talking about?

Thanks Dave I also read your writeup before

Thanks everybody for the comments...I think I am just going to stick to using car shampoo for a cleaner...they wont get neglected nor see a whole lot of road time...time to go order my black Friday order :-)

Thank you very soon! I am waiting on some different TPMS sensors and gotta find a day to take off work to drive an hour and half to get them mounted and balanced :-)

I just finally saved up enough to purchase a set of CCW wheels for my 2008 Shelby GT500. They are raw aluminum with no clear coat and brand new. There is a little bit of residue left on the front of the wheel from the sticky plastic they cover and ship them with. My plan of attack- I am going to use metal polish number two to remove that residue and get out any very minor flaws. A few coats of quick sealant to front and barrels of wheels. Would it be a good idea for Brilliant Glaze next? then finally toped with a coat of Patriot Wax? I have a gallon of green wheel cleaner left is that safe to use for a cleaner? What are you guys using such as towels? I seen Adams came out with Plush microfiber waffle towels that I am thinking about. What are the methods you guys are using after a little drive to a cruise inn that might have developed a little brake dust on your wheels and wanna give them a quick shine at the cruise inn? Thanks, Matt

Thanks Guys

Thanks Guys

Do you guys do an Alcohol wipedown after the 2 step polishing process? I have been thinking about not doing sealant since my car is a garage queen and has only seen rain 3 times, after the polishing process I am thinking about just adding brillant glaze then finish it off with patriot....Thoughts????

Thanks for the help guys...wont be doing doing it till spring due to cold weather along with a cold garage with no heat.

Ok thanks guys i appreciate it! Would you guys machine polish the stripes?

I just ordered my cyclo machine polishing kit. My car does have light swirl marks and I believe I am ready to take the step and challenge of machine polishing. I have watched every video and done alot of research and I feel confident. My question is though I have a red gt500 with white vinyl stripes. I know there is swirl marks in between the two stripes on the red paint that I would love to get out. the space is approximately 1 inch to 1 1/2 how can i get those swirl marks out with the machine polisher? I did the revive hand polish last year. I planned on taping my stripes off, could I just tilt the machine polisher and only use one pad what is everybody's opinions? Below is an example pic

Thank You!!!!!!

I was there also, I bought some goodies while I was there I just cant seem to say no. I also won first place in my class with the RMR (Red Mustang Registry) they had their own little judged car show.....
