What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Just polishing did the trick?

Yup. The scratches and ghosting were just in the clear coat. It took a lot of polishing, but I used polishing compound which is less aggressive than rubbing compound. I used a power polisher so I was fine with using the slower-but-safer approach versus the quicker method that would've required more care to avoid damaging the finish. I would've had to finish it with a polishing compound, anyway. A lot of scratches can be polished out if they're just in the clear coat. The deeper ones can be reduced because the shallower beginning and ends of the scratch aren't into the base coat.

A nice coat of wax brought out even more shine and depth, so now I might have to do the whole damned thing. I'm gonna focus on just the debadged areas for now, though.

Chris did great work and it only cost him time and $15! Well, he'll probably take it back and trade it for some polish or something!

As for mine, well the kids are washing it for me now. Earlier had the tires rotated, balanced, aired up and torqued proper and that nail replaced by a patch!

Tires have not worn at all in the last 5,335 miles. Before that they were dropping each time we checked them. Just over 19,000 miles on them so far.

Thank you!

Nah, for what I paid for it, I'll keep it and use it 'til it breaks. I'm lazy when it comes to paint care because of the elbow grease. This cheap li'l turd got 'er done and I didn't break a sweat!

After seeing the difference in the worked areas, I'm inclined to do the whole thing. If this polisher doesn't survive that task, I'm likely to buy another to finish it.

Cool, I bought a new cordless drill, the old one was eighteen years old and went missing until we bought the new one. Anyhow, I was thinking of buying that attachment from Maguire's for it with their polishes and such. What do you think of that?

Kids just came in and said they didn't have to dry the truck. I said, "Why?" My youngest said, "cause it just started raining!" Murphy's Law!

I did the same thing- lost my cordless drill kit (drill and impact) until right AFTER I bought an identical replacement kit. It turns out I left it inside a subwoofer enclosure I was working on. I paused the project and put the enclosure next to the wall with the speaker openings facing the wall. It sat there with the drill and impact, spare battery, charger, canvas bag and all, for almost two months.

I think that if you don't have a whole lot to buff/polish, you could "make do" with that Meguire's attachment. I've never used one, but I've held drills in such positions for a while and that just looks tiring and eventually painful for the wrists. One hand would be holding the handle on the attachment. The other would be holding the weight of the drill, moving it around and trying to keep it perpendicular to the surface, all while your finger fights the urge to go full throttle with the trigger. It may not be so bad, but that's my impression from it.

Installed a DIC switch. It's a great feeling greeting people and the first thing I tell them is "I just made a DIC hole with a dremel". They all have the same look on their faces.

My kinda of humor, nice
