Simple Steps-Good Results

Again to show you guys that you don't need to break the bank to obtain good results. At times, people are intimidated by the use of a porter cable, but in reality, it's a small and simple machine to use. The pictures illustrate how easy it is to use a porter cable.

Two thousand and something Corvette hood, unknown condition, loaned to us for an upcoming show. The following steps were used.

1) Wash/Oxidation Block
2) Dry
3) Using the orange foam pad, starting with a speed of 3, and eventually to 6. Using Our Medium Cut Compound.
4) Using our Swirl Mark Remover, with a black foam pad. Same speeds.
5) Apply wax by hand, and remove it with a black foam pad.

Although there are many other ways to accomplish these results, this was the most efficient pad combination for this particular job. I figured I'd share some of the ways we complete jobs.
