"The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"

TAZ, I'm using the 3M Perfect-It system. It's a 4 pad, 3 compound kit. Works really well. I had tried Meguiar's system as well starting with their heavy cut compound, and that worked well too. But hands down the 3M is the best.

Thanks for the compliments! No, it's not perfect and will no way hold a candle next to a Mikey special, but I'm pretty proud of it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of &quot;This old Bee&quot; where you'll hear such famous quotes as, &quot;Why do I have so many bolts left over? &quot; and &quot;Huh. Three sets of door weatherstripping. Huh....it's for a Camaro?&quot; And of course, &quot;I just had that dang 1/2&quot; wrench in my hand two friggin' minutes ago! Where is it!?!?! These freakin' cars, stupid hobby, lousy country club and their stupid rules! Oh, express checkout, huh? Why is my lane slower than the others? BAH!!!&quot; mad cry

I'm thinking of writing a book after this. &quot;Restoring the American Dream: What NOT to do when building your dream car&quot;. Forward by the whole Yenko.net Forum and a forwarded forward by Bob Ashton [although he doesn't know it yet] bigthumbup

I found this deal on Amazon to be the best on double sided pads and quick connect adapter.

https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-33661-Qui...+polishing+pads

I bought my compounds and polish from local jobber, in quarts and gallons.... this doesn't look like a bad start for pints and pads either. Just can't tell if the pads are quick connect..but it doesn't appear to come with the adapter.
