I might be a convert........

You all know that I am pretty much a by hand guy.  I got a PC years ago, used it a couple of times and put it away.  So now that I'm older and things are hurting more, I thought I'd try it again. Ordered up some new product and spent today working on the Caddy. Have to say, I'm impressed with the results. I always thought I kept that car clean, but the white pad was BLACK by the time I finished up with it. My wife even took pictures because she figured nobody would believe I was using a pc again. Got most of it done and sealed,  gets a coat of Americana tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

And some nice reflection on the Vette too.

Very nice Rich. I'm still rocking my PC. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

[CMDChase]

Looks great Rich

[Chris@Adams]

Nice Rich.......Adam would be proud.

[Rich]

Chris, Adam's probably laughing because I'm still way behind with the PC instead of the Cyclo.  I'm behind, but at least I'm still in the race.

Looks great!

Welcome to the world of machine polishing! 

 

We've been holding the door open for you for a LONG time. 

[Chewy]

WOW!  I can't believe you'd spend that kind of time hand polishing the car when you owned a machine, but hey, I guess it's good exercise! 

 

Looks great! 

[GXPaycheck]

Getting old will do that to ya!

[Ricky Bobby]

I see you have a first generation 7424 like me Rich, nice job and way to break it out!

 

If you do ever get the machine polishing bug, put a 3" backing plate and use 4" pads on that thing you will be impressed!  Also just my recommendation I would mark pad rotation with a black sharpie on the backing plate just so its easier to be sure the pad is always rotating when correcting.

 

Do you have a CTS-V Coupe?  Very jealous if so, I always loved CTS-V's, wanted a first gen with the 6-speed manual for the longest time.

[Rich]

Jason, the V wasn't in the budget since I got the Vette at the same time.  Plus, the V is rear wheel drive which doesn't do well in my neck of the woods in the winter. So I went with the CTS 4 (all wheel drive) and can't be happier. 

I have the car nearly finished. Next step is putting sealant on the wheels.  Then it's all done for a while. I'll back it out and snap some pics (well, the wife will) and put them up.

[Ricky Bobby]

Either way, that Caddy is gorgeous, I love the new CTS's and the center exhaust.

 

Looking forward to completed pics of your "winter driver" lol.

[The Guz]

Just come to the dark side.  It's worth it in the end.

All done:
