Nice you should absolutely post before and after pics.

Yes, it did. Thanks for identifying this, and leaving it to be what it was intended for.

Got sick of looking at the oxidized roof of my truck from my office.

Before:



After:


Using the Porter Cable DA and this stuff:

I typically don't resort to that level of cutting, but the roof was in bad shape. All in, 2 hours, wash->compound->wash->polish (didn't require much)->wax

Nice work Dom. I have a order from autogeek arriving today. Almost the same compound from Meguiars can be had from Walmart, its their Ultimate Compound. Great stuff.

Thanks bud.

I got mine from Harbor Freight on a coupon, cheapest I ever found it. Be aware, the ultimate compound (consumer grade) doesn't cut as fast as the 105. I've done side-by-side with ultimate compound and the 105, and the end result is the same, just get there faster with the 105.

I prefer their consumer grade ultimate polish over everything you can find on a shelf. I'll use a Griots or a Wolfgang on a really sensitive project, usually dark colors only where it really matters.

My go-to wax is again Meguiars ultimate paste. I tell owners to use a good wax and take care of it. The super high end stuff with lots of carnuba doesn't last as long.

Show car finishes are a whole different set of chemicals.

Those all look real sharp. I have a bottle of Collinite 845 and it seems to be doing a good job through the winter so far. I didn't know Harbour Freight had Meguiars, thanks.

Dropped the transmission pan, put in a drain plug and changed the filter, the fluid was very dirty with lots of sludge in the pan and on the magnet. Dropped the spare and aired it up. Pulled the FPDM, no corrosion so sprayed it with undercoat and put it back up with a couple of homemade phenolic spacers.

Put in a 4x6 3/4 inch horse stall mat in the back so Barry (my dog) doesn't go sliding all around the bed.
