Porter Cable with Yellow Foam Cutting pad from Properautocare.com. Pickup some Meg Swirl Remover V2.0. If that doesnt work, grab some Meg DAPC then follow up with some Intense Polish.

Everything you need to know is available @ www.autopia.org

Bryce, listen to what that **** told you. I use the porter cable, pads, blackfire products, souveran wax, etc. etc. I also have used Meguiars Medallion Paint Cleaner with good results. You can use a something that actually removes the scratches or you can use a product that just rounds over the edge of the scratch then is filled with polish. Lot's of different products for doing this. Check the link **** gave you and find the "university" on that site. Lots of great info there. As I recall you may need to register to be able to see it.

Stop. It's FFW in Gainesville and there's a 80% chance of rain all weekend and you're posting crap like that.

Your brake pads are dirty.

Chromer ruined my stock 02 wheels. Been tooling around on 00/99 wheels for the last 9 months until he pays up. Its going to court now. So in the meantime, im getting another pair of 00 wheels and sending them out to a different chromer to get plated.

If **** is trying to rub in how sweet his truck looks, then I say we all bring ours to him. Let him wax, buff, scartchremove, etc, all our trucks? Sound like a plan? *grin* Lightning road trip!
