Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Yes, 1500 on the initial cut and 2000 to really lay it out slick. Then use a variable speed buffer with a wool pad and a 3M compound. I start slow and usually end up around 1700 rpm. Once it's fairly slick I use a swirl remover on about 18-1900 rpm and a white foam pad. Then hand polish with Mirror Glaze #7 or the 3M hand glaze.
The paint on my GMC is probably 12-15yrs old so it's not going to be perfect but it sure looks a lot better than it did. I am definitely getting the dead stuff off.
I have never seen a shiney orange ! lol.
