    Buffing it out

    Well I can't believe someone would let a Bullet get in the condition of the one I purchased earlier this year, but it was bad, bad, bad. It had no shine anywhere what so ever on the top cap. So today had a couple hours to kill , so got to work buffing and waxing it back to life. Now I don't feel embarrassed to take it to the lake.


    To make it a little easier, I stopped by Harbor Freight and purchased a 3" air polisher which they have on sale for $29. It comes with two foam buffer pads and a lambs wool. I don't buy much there as it never last, but for the price it was right in this case and only needed it to last to a few hours. It did the trick, took about 4 hours to buff it and wax it. To run that tool, you need a large shop compressor, luckily mine was up to the task

    The tools for this job:



    Taping it off:



    What it looked like before:



    What it looked like after buffing a 24" area for 2 minutes:
