whew

i finally broke down and bought a new orbital last weekend and got the urge to use it today. started at 6 washing, clay bar, re-wash/rinse, eat dinner, then wax and polish. 5 hours later and a few pounds of sweat and the car looks beautiful!



satisfying

now i gotta do the volvo which really needs it

 

Do you mind me asking which orbital you bought?

 

I was thinking the same thing..post em up man...I am also curious as to which one you bought and how much,.

 

sorry for the newbness, but what's an orbital?

 

I think they're little electrical powered polisher thingies, kinda like a sander?

 

yeah a polisher

 

i look later and letcha know

it was dark i didn't get done until 11, i'll snap some today

 

Ok, no pics? how we spossed to know ur telling the truth???

 

i have one also, i got it from walmart for 40 bucks a while back.. i never really use it tho

 

you should use it, it makes life sooooo much easier!

here are pics i snapped this morning after spending another 4 hours on the volvo.









can't really tell in pics, but the volvo needed it the most out of the 2. i found that one both wagons that in addition to the front bumpers being bad, the top of the rear bumpers were just as embedded with f=grit and dirt

 

Nice!

 

purty...

 

that blue looks brand new

mother's gold class everything, from car wash, claybar, and wax
