Anticept Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Around 7 hours of work, and the washing I even had assistance. Hand washed twice over, then applied and removed wax with a rotary polisher. Even got the exhaust stains out on the belly, which was the hardest part. After this, I decided a rotary takes too much work. While they are powerful machines, they need a LOT of skill and control to use, and being on ladders instead of scaffolding, or pressing it overhead, or in weird leaning positions, it's just too difficult and I had a couple strikes when it got away from me (marred paint). I sprung for a proper weekend warrior polisher after this, a Griot G9 and wax red pads, will see how it works out. There are also some old repair sites that I'll redo the glaze and paint, as well as the strike areas. Will also do paint correction one day and get it to a true mirror finish with a ceramic wax that I'll switch to, but this already was some ridiculously good results with what I had, I expect good things from this G9 when I finally get to use it.
