    Polishing and waxing the car

    My moped car is an fugly little plastic can of a car, some of it is design but most of it is that it has never been properly maintained, so now that the weather is warm enough for outside work I've decided to do something about it.

    The hubcaps are gone so I've painted the wheels.

    (Unfortunatley I don't have a "before" image, but it was aprox the same color and lots of rust flaking paint, bubbled up paint etc etc)

    The final color is glossy black, more pics tomorrow.

    Yeah, its going to be fun if I ever have to change wheels

    And tomorrow I'm going to polish and wax it

    Now I am going to use a polish attachment to my powerdrill (and you can't talk my lazy ass out of it ) and the usage instructions I get from people are confusing me a bit.

    So I'm going to give you all a chance to add to my confusion

    people either tell me to have the drill att highest speed or lowest when i polish.

    Personally I think slowest

              heh, at that moment I was glad it was an "smaller than an ultra compact"

              My arms felt as they were going to fall off

                      It's funny to drive around in it, it's quite a head turner

                      Especially on sundays when people get that "WTF!?!, damnit I'm still drunk!" expression.
