First attempt at polishing

[NorCalRT]

Made my first attempt at polishing today, went pretty well I think. First clayed the truck with Meguiars quick clay. I then went at it with the SFX-2 on a barrowed polisher (it was an ok polisher, but I think I`ll step up and buy the 7424 for next time). But anyways, I started on the hood and just let the polisher do its thing. Was able to get out all the little swirls and hard water marks farely easy. Afterwords I aplied a coat of Klasse all-in-one and had my buddy tint the windshield:cool: By the time I got around to photos the clouds had rolled in, so forgive the lack of detail in them. But the paint definitly has more depth than it has ever had before. I`m hopin to get some Klasse glaze on it soon too, just need the sun to come out and the wind to die down for a bit. Damn polin is everywhere:mad:

Welcome:D Looks good for your first time, some close ups in the sun would be nice, but over all you did a fine job.

nice *** car man. wish they didnt have tint restrictions in nj cause that really sets the ride off. great work an truck looks awesome, it lowered?

Thanks for the compliments, next time I`ll have some close up pics for sure. As for the polisher I`m not really sure, looked and acted like a buffer turned into a polisher to me, way more tourqe than expected a polisher to have. I`m really itch`n to get my hands on the 7424 now.



As for the truck, yes we have strict tint laws here too. By sticking with 20% all around and 50% on the windsheild cops can still see in the truck, and I get all the cool reflections/look of a nice tinted truck without the cops bothering me. Plus it gets rid of annoying headlight glare and my interior is now 100% protected from UV rays:woot: The truck is also lowered with Hotchkis suspension, and with the new sways, the truck handles way better than any truck should ever handle. I`ll have plenty of new pics soon, my new rims should be here by next weekend. CCW SP200`s here I come!

what r ur restrictions though. because jersey is anything on back side windows and back window but we can`t have ANY on the fronts. i dont know why they do this, i was itchin to do 20 all around but i have friends that get pulled over often for it, dont know if its worth it. btw how much did ur whole thing cost? mine was set at 550$ for 20 all around on a large SUV, u can see it in my sig. dont know if that is a reasonable price

We have the exact same laws as you, however its more of a reason for cops to pull you over. If you dont drive like an idiot you dont normaly get harrassed. As for tint, I got mine at the friend price, 250 all said and done. Going rate though is 50 a side window, 100 for the rear, 150 for sliding rear and 200 for the windshield.
