This may be a bit of encourgement for those approaching the buffing stage.
This was polished with Turtle Wax compound and an El-Cheapo Turtle Wax random orbit 10" polisher.
I left half the hood unpolished to show the difference between the polished and unpolished sections.
Even with my less than perfect body and prep work, things are looking good.
Sorry about the dark pic, but my camera bites indoors.
