I'm glad someone finally got some good results out of the stuff I listed. I was worried for such a long time after I listed the supplies and then I got PM's pouring in about how it wasn't working for people.

I tried my best to make sure everyone that contacted me knew my technique and I tried walking them through the steps that I took because I felt bad about them not getting the same results as me but using the same tips and pointers that I wrote for this method.

I felt like I was the reason people were blowing money on buffing supplies and not being happy with their investment. I've been there before and it sucks.

I'm glad to see that it helped you out. You did an AWESOME job on those Bogarts. They shine like new!

Can you possibly add anything to my instructions that might help someone else out that reads this thread? I'm not really good with words and I can't describe things that great sometimes.

I don't have any secrets, it is a pretty straight forward deal. When I first started I was kind of confused about how to apply the compound, that only took a minute to figure out. I could tell a big difference when I had a fresh battery in my drill & held it wide open. Using a standard a/c drill might be better than a cordless. I tried to do small areas & kept the pad loaded up with the compound. It takes a little patience & you also need to put a little pressure on the pad, it seems to cut better when the drill is bogging down. If anyone has any specific questions, post up or PM me & I'll try to help.

I've done a total of about 10 minutes of buffing on each of these 2 wheels. They were not horrible to begin with though...
