fair enough...sounds good to me. my 2.5yrold girls call it "princess truck"....I didn't do any better by naming it "Yoshimi".

 

Finally removed the exhaust manifolds this morning after breaking all 6 studs that hold the cat pipe to it. My "ENGINEERING" of the flanges to hold a seal for a few days worked wonderfully. Lol

 

Well just because we all own the most bad *** off-road vehicles on the planet, doesn't mean they have to look all beat up. I spent the last 2 days trying to return my Disco back to it's glory days when it rolled off the showroom floor. I did a 3 part cut, polish and wax and was really amazed at how much color came back into the paint and how many of the lighter scratches came right out. Be sure to use a DA polisher and an orange foam pad for the cut and polish steps, and a black foam pad for waxing and you will be good. The foam pads are key to a great swirl free finish.



Like taking a picture in a mirror.

 

Wow jared.. looks fantastic. I'm hoping the silver comes up. Gotta love that meguires

 

Thanks. Meguiar's is a great off the shelf product. Be sure to use a DA polisher and an orange foam pad for the cut and polish steps, and a black foam pad for waxing and you will be good. The foam pads are key to a great swirl free finish.

 

Didn't know that.. never would have thought the pad could make a difference. Ready for this.. I usually do not by hand. With lots of microfiber towels. Lol. Tennis elbow anyone? Hahahaha

 

Wow, that does look good. Kudos

 

Oh, and I just got back from a $4 cleaning(mostly under the bonnet) on mine. Yanking heads Sunday evening, so got the gunk off.

 

Thanks. Do you have a blown head gasket, why are you pulling the heads?

 

Loks good. There are many diferent pads. All have a different cut level. There are also many different compounds/polishes that have different cut levels also. There are a couple of good detailing forums (autogeek and autopia are the ones I look at). I polished my DII last summer. Got rid of a ton of swirl marks from the previous owner.
