Tyler got bored in Florida...

...so he decided to polish everything. Doesn't it look nice?

Indeed it does. Good job. What buffer did you use? I would probably like to do the same to mine but don't want to overdo it and scratch the surface.

Tyler needs to have a 3 day lay over in Memphis on his way home. I could put that energy to use.

I don't bother doing that on mine, as the oil spray of my engine and P/S pump would have it coated back to "grunge" in about 1-2 days.

Looks nice though!
