So last Thursday i was at our local cruise in....having a blast as always....saw a police car come in around 7 and someone said a car got keyed so I guess he was filing the report. Well last night i was out in the garage and saw something peculiar by the gas door. Yup...they got me too....A small bit on the drivers fender, a small bit on the drivers door, and by the gas cap. Fortunately...I knew how to fix it....So I got to it.....Shine Supply classic cut, classic polish, and BOOM theyre all but gone. A couple of the deeper spots didnt completely come out, but unless your about an inch from it you'd never see it. Im telling you just knowing I could correct that properly kept me from blowing up alot worse than I did. It happened...and I fixed it. This is one of those moments where having that knowledge saves the day.....

Shinesupply.com is where i get my polishes. There are many other great companies making fantastic stuff, Shine Supply is just what I like using. As for "how to"...im no teacher. There's a ton of videos on that. Adams polishes has a bunch of informative videos on the "how to" part....

I need to get a DA buffer. Dad got some nasty scratches on his bedside that could use some correction beyond what I can do by hand.

I am envious of your ability to correct such things. Someday I'll invest in the products and materials to do so.

Envy not necessary. Its a very easy process and anyone can learn it....Watch a couple "how to" videos and your in business. Adams videos on the process are very good....
