That looks great! What products did you use?

WOW! That is amazing!! I`ve been waiting for a before and after pic like that for a long time. That is exactly what Klasse AIO did to my father-in-law`s red pickup. It was practicly pink before and bright red after. :xyxthumbs You gotta share your product list with us man! Great job.

1. Meguiars Dual action Polish applied with a rotary polisher (Makita)

2. Meguiars Gold Class Prep and Swirl Remover (to reduce swirls) using a DA orbtial sander (Ryobi)

3. Klasse AIO using a DA orbtial sander

4. One coat of Klasse Sealant Glaze

5. Pinnacle Souveran by hand

Parts were also done with 3M Machine Polish followed by steps 1-5.

I was testing the Meg dual action polish and I found it to be a very good product, very similar to 3M Machine Polish (which is also an excellent product - but we all know that). Step 1 used a wool pad and the others a Meg W8006 buffing pad.

Very nice work!!!

Jngrbrdman,

Thanks for correcting me. The word "Y`all" may be considered singular. If so considered, the plural then becomes, "All y`all." Of course there are even some differences in the South. East of the river (the Mississippi, that is), the initials UT mean a whole different institution (insert Rocky Top here) as opposed to west of the river (insert something to do with Longhorns here).
