    How do you buff hood vents?

    I have a '02 Dodge Viper GTS with two louvered hood vents? How do I polish those with a Griot's buffer?

    I'm prepping the car for WG Uber paint sealant.

    Thanks,

    Rick

    I think you'll need a Flex PE-8 with a 2" pad or an Ibrid.

    Myself:
    I'd rather hand polish those vent
    areas with a yellow applicator pad...
    rather than trying to polish them with
    the GG's (or another) DA polisher.

    I bet that's WG's Uber Ceramic Coating...

    Yes, getting ready for a coating, so prepping the car, will do the vents and a couple of other spots by hand.

    Yes, I'm doing a paint coating. In the correction stage right now and then will follow up with finishing polish. After that it's Perfekt paint prep and then coating.

    You may want to keep your questions here, so you have some consistency......... And all in one place so you can look back for quick reference.
