That's right! It will be the same ole satin finish. I am out of the mood already. I just put on my racing windscreen and I am working on my FIA brake ducts tomorrow. Smaller, more managable projects. :D

Dean ~ I also thought about polishing mine, they look great in pictures. For me, I wanted to see in person and up close what the finished product looked like. Plus I wanted to see one after the car had been driven for awhile just to see how the finish held up.
Knowing how picky I am in regards to the finish of the car plus from what I have read from people who have polished their cars.........I think I will stick with my brushed finish. I think the brushed finish will tend to hide any imperfectons/scratches where the polished finish will tend to show more of them. Just my thoughts from the cheap seats. |
A question for you guys that have a polished body. How do you drive it with the sun shinning down on it ? I have a aluminum insert in my dash that is just a matte finish, and at times, the sun burns my eyes, can only imagine the whole car ? Sure looks great though.

It isn't a problem at all.....although I suspect that a brushed finish may be worse than a mirror polished finish....
The only problem I had was from the area ahead of the shift lever (I didn't have any carpeting either) reflecting up onto the windshield. |
POLISHED AGAIN.........Earlier in this thread I said I'd never do it again. Nobody stopped me so I did it again. Started polishing last Sunday, finished today. See gallery. I like it...........Ron

Sh!t.........that looks good.
Note to self.........NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! |
So, how many hours this time? :JEKYLHYDE
|
dlampe....I would guess about 20 hours throughout the week.. the car was already well sanded. 1500 wet. When I went back to satin finish I left stripes polished on, scotchbrite only dulled the finish so I scratched the surface with 600 sandpaper, then scotchbrite again. I prepped this time with 2 passes of 1500 wet. I don't think it's as nice as it was the first time but I'm very happy with it..........Ron

Can I help?
Dean
Can I get the ZoopSeal franchise in So. IL before you start? Still trying to get a weekend to get over to meet you. The info you provided on our phone call was invaluable. I have an appointment with Mike Arps Monday evening. I kind of understand your statement "catch me before" Paul Proefrock Manchester, MO |
