Hey guys,
Now I know this is an off-roading board. We shouldn't be concerned about looks too much, but every once in a while it's nice to shine the rig up to just to not look like total riff-raff around the town. I'll admit when it comes to keeping the truck looking nice, I like to go all out.
Well I found just the stuff. I noticed my paint finish has been thorugh a lot. A few years of neglect with college and a never-garaged past has left the white paint a little less than gorgeous. Then the 3M brand has this product I notice. It's a micropolishing compund. So I get curious and dab it on a few spots of the bedsides that have some scuffs and repainted spots and all of a sudden I know how the body shops do it.
Holy smokes! This stuff makes my old paint feel like it's had 400 grit run all over it. Smooth as glass and with wax, the rain will bead up before it even hits. LOL! I plan to do the whole truck soon, but that's a lot of rubbing and I don't have a buffer. Man would that be handy. The only drawback is that the bottle is like $30, but I'd say for old paint, it's well worth it.
Tuck and roll, pussy.
