1st attempt at buffer compounding my 86 Iroc

Hello fellow 3rd genners. 1st I'd like 2 say ty for the birthday msg from the board. It was a great surprise. Ok, so I took the plunge and learned how to compound with a buffer on youtube. wached around 20 or so vids. I'm posting pics of my b4 and after. the b4 is not that good of a pic because I didn't think I was going to actually compound it so I didn't take alot of b4 pics. Anyway this is my baby. Bought her brand new in 86 and will never give her up. My daughter gets it after I head upstairs to meet the big Guy lol. BTW, Meguairs Ultimate Compound is unbelievably great!!

B4 I started the compounding. sorry about the quality of the pic.

1st go thru with the buffer.

Ok, here the fender isn't touched and The hood has been compounded.

Here she is with one side done. I couldn't believe the difference.

Just wanted to take a pic of her at dusk. Thats her great-great grandaughter in the backround LOL. Got that one 2 months ago.
