O ya i know, i am going to get a real buffer when i do my truck, i cleaned the whole truck and the scratches made it look horrible so my father told me to do it and i kept warning him it was a bad idea but he kept telling me to man up and do it so i jumped on it and said o well its not my truck. What size pad would you recomend?
