Re: Tailgate band

If you have a bench grinder, you should pick up some polishing buffs and rouges. Start coarser and work your way down. If no bench grinder, they make smaller buffs and I have used them on a grinder. Either way, you could have a mirror like finish in under an hour.

That's what I would do anyway.

Re: Tailgate band
