Are you suggesting he`s applying his wax with a rotary polisher?? I don`t think so! :grinno:

Apperently it`s a secret.

I dislike it when people mention an "advanced technique" without explaining it, it kills credibility real quick. :work:

I know about "jeweling" but I was curious about the specific process of "burnishing" as stated earlier.

Sorry for the confusion.

I`ve been on tons of pain meds for the past few days due to oral surgery, so excuse me if I`m not making sense.

I think "jeweling" & "burnishing"

are different names for the same process

I think he was specifically responding to Rydawg`s teaser statement about being able to do it with a dry pad and then not elaborating on *how* he does it with a dry pad. But that`s just me interpreting "Percocetian", which is a hard language to understand.

I just found a local source for these sexy 3M knockoffs backplates they are made in the USA, so far I have both a 4" and 5" as in the photo, but I am sure I can get them smaller or larger. Anyone interested in a group buy ? if there is enough people then I will contact my source to see if he can get more. Looking around $18 for a 4" and $20 for 5" +shipping.
