I recently bought a pc and pb polish kit, and decided to make my first attempt at polishing this weekend. I decided to experiment on my daily driver, b/c I don't think I
could have made it any worse. It's a 92 Jetta that my father in law had sitting in the yard as a spare and decided to let me drive it so it wouldn't go to waste. Works for me, b/c it lets me keep the miles off of my truck. Go easy on me b/c this was my first time using a polisher. I think it turned out ok. I hope to get some stuff from the store to restore the trim back to black and then work my way to the interior. It is in rough shape too. BTW, I saw him today and he couldn't believe it was the same car...made me feel good.

Go easy on you? Heck that was an awesome job even if you were an old pro with the PC. For the trim I really like Stoner's Trim shine and Poorboys Trim Restorer. Two really great products.

Thanks! I had a blast working with the PC. Wish I would have bought one a long time ago.
Can't wait to use it out on the wife's car.
