Default First time buffing...

Well I had asked for a D/A buffer for christmas, I emailed her a link to one of the packages on adamspolishes website but she found a deal on black friday for a 10" craftsman single stage buffer. In all honesty it was a good deal and she tried so...lol the other married guys catch my drift on this one.

So anyways I wanted to buff my wifes 4runner since we bought it because the paint is in pretty horrible shape. It would appear the owner before me washed it with a green pad or something, I dunno but there were a **** ton of small scratches everywhere and rock chips galore. I saved a ton of money so I figured I could deal with the paint, I finally got a nice weekend and got around to it so heres the progress...

when we bought it in Aug09

I only took one before pic besides the ones I already had, but this shows how bad it is up close



and after...





Sorry for the crappy cell phone shots but the wife is in TX visiting family and she has the camera

Edit: I have since gone back and cleaned up all the wax and compound crap around all the edges and door handles
