Thumbs up Got My Little Girl Outside Today!

Got the Monte outside yesterday, finally, took some really quick pics because I had to go sell the Buick rims!

In the pics you can see the horrible swirl marks that my foam buffing pad put in the paint, going to have to buff it back out first thing in the summer I would have washed it but I only had 20 minutes to pull the car out and take pics

Other than that the Monte was running good.









Also, swapped over my Chevy Valve caps from my old rims.

Thanks, it's fairly dirty and those marks on the paint are really irritating me..

I'm actually going to get the rockers from an SS, non high-sport, and paint it black all the way around I think, I think without the highsport, all red looks a little boring and i like how Chibi's turned out being silver

Mike, I'm assuming you do quite a bit of buffing with the body work you do, do you have any pad recommendations? My paint has never looked this bad before lol

Red looks great no matter what. Black rockers will look great with all the other black you have.

Thanks, I'm hoping so! and if I do eventually end up finding the high sport i'll probably paint that black or maybe just red

Looks great, but is the hood open, the gap seems pretty big in the pics?

I use a white & black pad, but it all depends on what compound you use i use 3M perfect-it & i use a swirl remover after

Hmm, I use Meguiars ultimate compound followed by their polish and wax.

I'm going to use something new next time I think
