hmmm, I wonder how my Burb would fair in the Smoky Mountains pulling my camper. I'll have to keep this date in mind.

hope you make it to the rod run with your build i would like to see your 3 door there

drewskiren · 01-02-2012, 12:09 AM

I have been buffing a little today and did the first type compound on the tailgate, bedside, and half of a rear door. It is coming out really well.

Very nice!

**67cheby** · 01-02-2012, 11:51 AM

Looking good !

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-02-2012, 01:35 PM

Man, it would be nice to have an index to search the portions of your build.

**nlped** · 01-02-2012, 01:44 PM

Looking great!!!

classicchev · 01-02-2012, 02:40 PM

I see your beast is outgrowing your shop also!! Time to get that trim on and get it out of the garage.

What polishing compound you using ?

Darren

72BlckButy · 01-02-2012, 02:54 PM

Polished that thing is amazing...

tanman722001 · 01-02-2012, 07:01 PM

Looks dang good Drew.Cant wait to see it with the trim on it.

drewskiren · 01-02-2012, 07:58 PM

Plodding through. I think maybe I am one/eighth of the way finished with buffing. Here are the 2 products I am using. The first one with a wool pad gets out the 1500 grit marks and the second one (black bottle) with a foam pad gets out the ghosting marks left from the first compound. I cut with the white stuff about 3 times with the lightest pressure on the last pass. I have only done a spot with the black foam pad stuff, so no tips on that yet.

mcbassin · 01-02-2012, 10:00 PM

Shiny! looking good Drew!

**youngrodder** · 01-03-2012, 12:13 AM

Drew-

My paint guy swears by these same 3m products. I have also been using them for years since he was the one that taught me how to buff out a car. The cost of these materials it pretty decent as well..

Looking good my man!!

Little tip, Drew... While not technically necessary, I like to wipe down between stages with a soapy rag. Also, knock your speed down from full while cutting the scratch out, to about 2/3 on the mid-cut, to about 1/3 on the final cut. You don't need a lot of the later stuff. A dab on the pad gets 'er done, and makes a lot less mess. Meguiars soft pads seem to help with swirls. Have fun!

Thanks for your tips, I watched quite a few You Tube videos to refresh my memory and for tips like yours. One guy was going a third step with 3M Ultrafina, but it was on a black car. The internet makes stuff like this so much easier, I used to have to ask old timers about their tricks and I'm sure they never told me everything I needed to know.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-03-2012, 02:30 AM

Very nice Drew!

1967wannabe · 01-03-2012, 10:38 AM

Lookin goooood!

Blue on the buffing pad threw me off for a minute, been about 20 years since I've seen any color on a buffing pad......I was like "oh no, he buffed through the clear!" then remembered you shot single stage.

drewskiren · 01-08-2012, 02:40 AM

Saturday night picture time! Even though it's actually Sunday morning.

I haven't even finished buffing yet, but I couldn't stand it any longer. I put together a fender to have a look. Aired out of course. I'm diggin it, but the rest will have to wait.

VWBeamer · 01-03-2012, 07:21 PM

I looked at the first page and then just skipped to the end because I'm not into burbs.

That's a nice crew cab, i thought 1973 was the first year, I guess Gm made a few 72's?
