5speedz34 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 1000 is a bit too steep to buff out easily, but if you are re-clearing, it'll be perfect. But yeah, you just get everything as wet as possible and use light pressure. With 1000 it's easy to go too deep so be careful. I might just do 1500. What should I buff with rubbing compound?

ToroToro Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 For small projects like that I use Turtle Wax rubbing compound, then Turtle Wax polishing compound. Works good and it's cheap. Just use a rag and some elbow grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Well, I got some sand paper in 1000 1500 and 2000 grits. I also picked up this some reflective paint. It was on sale at Wal-Mart. I'm going to finish this off hopefully tommorow. http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp?frm_product_id=647&SBL=1 ^More info on it.

But seriously is a cop going to give me a ticket for a over reflective plate? I figure worse case scenario use my other plate, or sand it back down.

ToroToro Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 The whole plates here are refective, but not that reflective. I dont think you can get a ticket for that though. Should help you beat traffic cams at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
