Dual action polisher / buffer, I've used a Porter Cable brand for years. Unlike a hi-speed rotary buffer the only way it will harm your paint is if you drop the machine on you car. I think the drill attachment version looks a lot sketchy.

D/A = dual action
I have a Griot's Garage 6" d/a with a 25' cord, got a great deal on it a number of years ago... I also have a Griot's 3" d/a for smaller areas. like this dual action polisher Many people use a Porter Cable that can be found in the local home improvement store. They can be used as sanders as well... I use Meguiars buffing and polishing pads and products, but there are many other great products out there...

Spent the morning doing a clay bar and wax job. Used Mothers spray Detailer on the clay bar, seemed to make it glide better than water. Buffed it with a microfiber cloth. Then went around with Mothers Carnauba wax and again buffing with a microfiber cloth. Lots of work, took most of the morning, but the end result is worth it.

Also, take a look at the tie rod ends, front sway bar bushings, and rear watts link bellcrank. |

Yepp, done both of these as well and was surprised how little rust i found in the front lower fender part. Removed the screws and "bent" the fender out about 4 inches to fix everything. Also cleaned the drainage holes in the sills and filled them with anti corrosion gunk where the excess ran out of the drainage holes. Cleaned them again so the gunk wouldn't clog them up.

Today... added up the maintenance costs for this week ... tax in, total came to USD 3600.
I think I'm good for the next six or seven years - what all got done? ![]() Complete front brakes (rotors, pads, calipers, etc) Timing Belt/water pump/ tensioner Cam and crank seals all three motor mounts Radiator rad hoses power steering hoses starter crank sensor some sensor wiring and connectors some ground wires pcv valve intake and valve cover gaskets misc shop supplies... The really good news is that the chassis is still rust-free and the rest of the drive train (axles, etc) and suspension still check out excellent. Next up: body, paint, and glass... |
