Default Tried some of the Heavy Metal Polish <pics>

Tried some of the Heavy Metal polish and you can see from the pics attached the results.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with the product, it goes on really easy. The wheels still need a lot of work and I only used the Green and Blue on the portion shown in the pics. There are some pretty deep scratches in the wheels and I'll definitely need the Red . Talk about a labor of love and time!

BTW I'm a COMPLETE NEWB when it comes to this stuff. I'm more into the performance end of things but I've just neglected my car to long and I am now starting to get into aesthetics.

Some of you guys have some bitch'n rides and want to bring my car up to par, or at least close to it.

Yes it is! I need to design the brackets for it WS6 hood should have shipped last week, still no word from VFN though. I'll give them a buzz monday.

I was going to call you tommorow so I could check out the new setup, but if you want to come over that would be saweet. Car is on stands because I'm actually trying to detail it. I've taken the spoiler and side skirts off. This is what I found under the spoiler when I removed it.


Just pissed me off that everytime I washed the car dirt would come out from there and other places. Trying to nip it in the bud.

this fell out when I unbolted the front quarter panel from the bottom.

Passenger side was just as bad.

Side skirt removed


The car needs a lot of TLC, I've neglected her for to long

Going to order some more last minute stuff from Brilex before I start buffing all the swirl marks out.

Can't wait to do the rest of the rims

Are you doing those by hand? If so, get yourself a Mother's polishing ball or a Flitz ball and use a drill instead. It will save you tons of time and aching hands

Mothers powerball works wonders, I use it on plastic a lot and it makes it shiny as glass.

yes I did it by hand. Notice how small the area is?

I plan on using a machine to finish it off.

Dude F the powerball, big waste of cash. Mine fell apart after two sessions

Get a flitz ball.

After I give her a nice bath i'll run down to your place to show you the new blinging turbo.

sscam68.....Looks good. If you have any other questions, give me a buzz. Oh, by the way, some customers of mine have used the Polishing ball (several brands) and Dremel and found that it works well.
