Thanks for all the comments.

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build

I just made the mistake of showing my wife your buffing job....
I think her expectations of me just shot thru the roof.

That mirror finish is amazing, I would love to know how you did it!

Thanks.........Here you are, so you have no excuses with the wife. Keep in mine my truck has four coats of clear and stay away from the edges.

Wet sand with a paint paddle with 1000, wash, 1500, wash, 2000, wash, then DA with trizact 3000, wash, then cut with Presta Ultra Cutting Cream at 3000 rpm with a white waffle pad, wash, then cut it again, wash, then polish with 3M Ultrafine Machine Polish at 2500 rpm with a blue polishing pad, wash, and repeat polishing till you wear your buffer out..........

Very little progress today, but I guess some is better than none.

Tail lights and back lights.
