    Got a weird phone call today

    Ok I got a phone call to detail a bread truck. The problem is the sides, back, and hood are stainless steel. He wants to have a fully polished look. What would I use?

    I got that but would I use a wool pad or would a foam pad work?

    Probably start off with a wool pad and aluminum compound. Then foam pad with aluminum polish.

    I know Wolfgang and Blackfire have both these products.

    You're welcome! If you can, try to finish off with a DA polisher to be sure no holograms are left behind.

    Just use a normal polish on the DA?

    I would start with a wool pad on a rotary and some metal compound...cause there's some heavy oxidation there. Then try foam on a rotary and some metal polish. Finish with the DA if you want to...it will give you the best results.

    Make sure you charge quite a bit for this job too. Cause if you've never done this before...you're in for one heck of a headache.
