    first time with the flex... (and first time ever polishing period) updated (pg. 2)

    well I went an found a hood off an old chevy pickup (i think about a 1965) today an tore into it with the new flex. First used menz power gloss with orange ccs pad; then went to power finish with white ccs pad; then 85RD with blue ccs pad. topped it all off with some fuzion.... this is what i got. the paint was obviously in horrible condition (deep scrapes, dents an some rust under the paint) but check out that shine! didnt have my camera so just snapped a cell phone pic.

    Hmmm.. good job! I would just be careful on old stuff with deep gashes to save your pads!
