    And good riddance TO it! Actually, I'm responsible for that one. I lowered the garage door one day when the VX wasn't ALL the way in; one of the sheet metal hinge edges came down and cut a nice gouge in the "I" of Isuzu, so off they all came!

    And so hard that he rubbed all the blue out of the Dragon Green...

    It looks fantastic.

    I use a low speed buffer on mine as well. Used some SwirlX on my hood insert over the weekend and then a good coat of NXT 2.0 wax and it looks so much better than before.

    It looks fantastic. Tell your buddy that there is a Proton in Virginia in dire need of his talent.

    I really NEED to learn how to do this. If I can buff out even 75% of my tree scratches, I will be that much better off. Then I just need to have a couple dings fixes, and have my hood and tailgate resprayed and my VX will be looking sweet.

    Does anyone know of a good how-to online for wet sanding and buffing cars? I want my tree scratches GONE.

    Joe,

    The Proton is looking great.

    All shined up and nowhere to go. It's time to bring it back to Cars and Coffee and let others appreciate it. Last week's was totally packed, it was full by 7 AM. We'll have to meet up there sometime.
