Good job Mike. What's next? You do have that truck looking good. I know your proud. It's a dirty tough job, time consuming and at times dangerous but the end results are well worth it. Many pats on the back Mike.

I used a Foredom on my grill. Worked fantastic. I've had mine for years. You must have gotten a bad one because mine seems bulletproof.
I'm actually working on the tail light and tailgate trim in the morning... I also have to strip the clear coat off my grill. Like an idiot, after I polished the grill I cleared it so I wouldn't have to polish it again... FYI... don't do that. It hazed over and went from a mirror to a brushed look. Needless to say, I was not happy.

yeah i read up on the clearing and decided against it for that exact reason . I gave my freshly polished stuff a good coat of Meguairs carnuba wax . that should help protect it .
for bringing the shine back check out Blue Magic it is awesome stuff !!!
