redneckchevy9 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It was slow at the plant today, so I had sometime to tackle some polishing that I've wanted to do since I started a couple months ago. Diamond plate didn't appear to ever be touched and the tank is a mill finish...so it will never come to mirror shine without being properly cut and buffed. I tired my luck with the steps also. I was happy with the results with polish and rags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri Mule Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I once buffed and polished my river boat. It was a 20’ flat bottom aluminum rig. I had a 150hp evinrude that we suiped up. I raced it on the river and did well. It was a jet pump setup. Anyway one day I put it up on saw horses and commenced to polishing with mother’s and a high speed buffer. By the time I got the front 1/4 done I was wishing I had never started. About 3 Days later I was done. Everyone called it the silver bullet. It was a mirror finish. Pretty neat redneck and I’m sure your trucks owner will appreciate it. Normally guys like you will always have the “new” truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
