    well i am done with the beater. when i started this post i ended after using OC with Edge 2K black wool on the DeWalt 849. well i decided to finish it up.

    process
    OP w/ 3M foam finishing pad(1000-1200rpm)
    DG 501(let sit for about 1hour)

    next day
    Einszett Glanz Wax(let sit for 1hour)
    Meg's UQD
    SCG Clearly Better Glass Cleaner
    DG281 on tires.

    i realize it is not perfect or anywhere close but it looks good for $100 beater.
    here comes the pics. it is 10 o'clocl at night and lighting is not that good.

    i used the EDGE 2K black wool. for correction i have always favored wool over foam. maybe cause that is what i learned with. just like i favor rotary over DA. i learned on rotary with wool pads so i guess you can call it just habit.

    sparkie: thanks for the praise. like alot of peopl on here i appreciate all comments but there are some people you just hope will comment on your work and you are one of them. you do excellent work and have good advice for all. and for you to give a postive comments means alot to me and others.
