Finally got a buffer woo, so i spent most the day claybarring and buffing my hood, just seeing what works best. I also helped move over 1000lbs of rock and put it everywhere.

Hood before



After

Yea I get the mothers kit, I absolutely love the smell. Its like $30, you can probably get it at wallyworld and you get 2 bars that last forever it seems like, along with quick detailer. Got my buffer for $30 at orielys and some rubbing compound. Itll take a good day to do all of it, takes me like 3 because I wander off and do other stuff haha.

Yeah, me too!
Brock, that looks sweeeeeet, can you come over and o mine aswell.
They sell Mother's Claybar at autozone too, atleast the one here does.
No buffer though, i would love to learn how to, but i am afraid without guidance i will mess up the paintjob/clear coat on the Monte, and i don't have the money to redo a paint job as much as i would love to.
Brock, a video how to would be appreciated lol jk, looks great man!

I will if you want me to haha. And its really easy, I mean very easy, I think you can only mess up if you have a circular buffer with like a hardcore pad and just sit there for a while.

With a portal cable orbital buffer it would be hard to ruin the paint. It might not work as fast as a regular buffer - but much more safe. I use one on my cars. It's worth every cent.

Mines like that but a 10" and has 2 handles on it, its much easier to hold that way. I like the changeable heads though on yours. Im sure its variable speed too?
