    This is before applying a sealant or wax. I had just finished polishing with carpro essence

    Did some minor paint correction. All I have is one of those drill mounted Meguiar's DA Polishers mounted to my ancient 12v drill. I washed with Chemicals Guys Citrus wash with warm water to help strip any lingering wax (in which I'm certain there was none due to PO neglect). Clay Bar, Stage 1 polish with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, Stage 2 with Meguiar's Ultimate Polish, Finished with Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba. All in all it took me about 2 days of solid garage time to get to these results. I should really invest in a proper polisher, would have made it a lot faster with a lot better results. Still happy with the outcome though.

    Nice job, especially without having a da polisher. I never had one and once I got one I couldn't believe I took so long to invest in one. Makes the job much easier and it comes out looking better. I started with a harbor freight da then finally got a griots GG6

    What did you think of the HF polisher? I want one but it'll be used occasionally at best. Hate to spend $$ on something that won't get much use

    My 5 lug. After wash and 845 wax.

    Also made a stainless steel splash guard under the front since the factory one was missing. Don’t off road anyways so it’s just thin stainless sheet metal

    It is serviceable and will get the job done. Its loud and vibrated a lot. Getting. 5" backing plate will help make up for some lost power. You can definitely do a full truck with it but it's slow going and may take a few passes in some spots where a more powerful unit will correct in 1 pass. It served me well, I just wanted something with more power and less noise and vibes.

    That one seems like an upgrade from the HF brand and is likely better
    But for just a little more you could get a porter cable and know your getting a good unit thatll last forever
