I would not have even tacked without a buffer. This is how Camp Inn teardrops recommends polishing their TD's.

Camp Inn builds the "Airstream" of teardrops IMHO. Guess if its good enough for them....

No affiliation to CampInn, just an admirer.

Good Stuff. I like their idea to put a paper towel under the buffer. I also like the pan for applying to the buffer. The buffer with mothers just wasn't horribly effective. The consistency of the paste just wasn't too good for getting it onto the pad. More oxidation came up when polishing by hand. Getting the black off was the hard part with mothers. Their product looks much better suited all around and I like that its an all in one product. Saves time just applying sealers and stuff. I will add it to my Christmas list along with a handy polishing minion to do all the dirty work. :lol: :lol:
Some day I will figure out something to put here. But for now....

The doors are in and couldn't be happier with challenger doors. Right price and built well.

Just working on getting the inside walls coated with a nice finish. Close to the finishing line.
