Just about finished polishing and waxing Black Thunder. The new rotory is decent. The father in law has a Makita rotary and he showed me how to use it properly.
Father in law recommended I don't use the orange pad, and stick to the black finishing pad. I took his advice and just used the black pad with Turtle Wax Precision Platelet. I spent a bit of time on the tonnneau and got the scratches out a lot but not completely gone. Father in law thought I might rub through if I try to get them completely out. Personally I think I could have got them right out but I didn't want to chance it. The black Turtle Wax has helped a bit more to the point that I'm really happy with the result. Not as good as the bonnet but pretty good.
Right now I am waiting for the Turtle Wax ceramic spray on to dry before I head out and towel it off with cheese cloth, then the micro fibre polishing towel.
It's taking ages to dry as we have had rain the last three days and the humidity is making hard to polish off the thick wax.
So another job that was meant to take less than a day has taken me two days..... So unfortunately the wheel paint didn't even get a look in this weekend. Probably good anyway with the rain we have had.
