3 Old Guys With Buffers :) Black car in FL Sun

[tropicsteve]

I was surprised at how soft the paint was. until we dialed in the pads and polish, it was very easy leave halos with the buffers and and even scratches when removing the polish with microfiber towels. there was a constant process of moving the vette into the sunlight to see any defects and back into the garage to work. I picked up a lot of good info from angelo and ron.
I used my griot`s 3" da for the smaller areas, but soon learned that the megs mf finishing pad generated too much heat for the work we were doing and switched back to a wht.lc foam pad. I was truly shocked when I got to use ron`s rupes mini, what an awesome machine, extremely smooth, with very little vibration compared to my griot`s. all the final finish work was done with the rupes mini and ron`s flex da. angelo switched between his Makita rotary and the da`s without batting an eye.( tons of experience makes it look easy)
the guys definitely wouldn`t accept any results that weren`t excellent. hard work, but lots of fun too.

Great job. You guys are brave for working in direct sunlight. I never have luck with the Florida sun and polishing. I can see why you did it though. Looking great!

when we started in the morning, we were able to work outside while the temps were lower. once the sun started heating things up, we were constantly moving the vette into the garage to let it cool down & do some work, then back into the sunlight to look for defects. the paint would heat up pretty fast in that direct florida sun, but I was surprised how well the poor boys products worked in the direct sun. very good stuff.

Good to know about the poor boys products. Was just thinking though would of it been easier to use some halogen lights in the garage? I do understand though that direct sun does bring out the flaws.
