ammonia? I've been out of the body industry for some time now (wasn't in it for long either) but I've never heard of using ammonia after buffing. Does that strip any of the "wax" like features of the compound off?

Re: Project "Lucy"
 
Yessir ammonia pulls all wax and silicone from the paint that way you can give it a true polish without any cutting compound getting in your polish..

you got a deal. I like as much new stuff as possible, so the plan is to buy a new bed and front end. so the majority of body work would be the cab. have you seen the kin-dig-it handles? they are slick and think they would good with suicide doors.

Mike, I'm anxious to see what you've come up with and then watch Kyle do his magic on it. Fun times ahead, and not too far off.

You too Gary, that puppy's looking real good so far.
