Pick a date in the Spring, get at least 5 people to commit, and I will host it at my office and good supply food and beverage. I have a huge parking lot and can see the Capitol from my office. We can take a spin around the Capitol loop. I did it with my Z (Nissan/Datsun) Z club and it was a blast. Several folks I know from the NAIOA site and Impalaforums.com would show up too. Plus one of my business partners who has an 08 SS. So I figure if we can get 5 here on this forum, then the total will be at least a dozen, which would make it worth it.

Very True. Once I start a project, it has to be perfect before I call it complete. But on a very serious note, I have some surface scratches on the top of my spoiler that I cannot get out. I have tried almost everything. You do not see them until you get tight close but I have no idea on repair. The car is hard enough to keep clean as is, it's BLACK! WTF was I thinking

well if you want to fix damage of any kind that buffer isnt goin to do anything for you no matter what polish you get...if you are looking to do paint correction you can look into a porter cable...you can get them for around $125...it is a good buffer for a beginner since there is 0 chance of burning throught the paint...some good polishes that i have seen work are Meguiars 105 and 205...Menzerna....3m..and of course my favorite Adams

Okay, If I recall correctly my brother has a great buffer. He is the Manager at Jack Demmer Ford's Body Shop. I will see what he has as far as buffers and look into some Adams products.
Thanks for the help, I guess I should have PM'd you so everyone that was subscribed wasn't getting updates on my cars spoiler
Once again, Thanks
C ya at the meet

I know I'm going to be getting another one a week or so before the meet so Ill be in top shape for the meet, just in case any of you want to play on the way there. Not that any of us fine gentlemen engage in such juvenile behavior
