Looking real nice!

Looks great Kneal.

But how in the world did you get that done in 25 hours?!

[Sugarfoot]

Kevin, that looks fabulous. Unless I can get mine done soon, I'll be embarrassed to camp next to you. You put me to shame now!

Did you forget the one in front of the 2, very hard to believe only 25 hours, sorry...........

By 25 hours I mean ACTUALLY working on the compounding...not the time from when I walk out the door work, take a break, clean up, and walk back in the door. If I added all that up that would change the number considerably. You also have to know that my clearcoat was almost flawless so I didn't have any oxidization. I also have a 0-1500 RPM Compounder and have found that if you go at a very low speed with a good bit of pressure you get great results.

Great job, so the 25 hours is the time that the compounding pad was on the trailer..............

25 hours is in line with what I spent on mine.
