To the contrary ...that bike looks pretty damn nice after your handiwork.

 

They always look good in pictures.
The problem with black is it shows everything. I think after doing mine after watching a few videos, they always use black as a test and show panel and trying to do black by hand is a lost cause because you can't generate enough heat to get the polishes to work properly. That's where the swirls and haze come from.

 

Truth !
Is the Groits orbital tool actually an orbital, or simply spins like a typical polisher? I'm going to go for it with a kit like yours.
I'm pretty beat; Moderna Booster shot today making me crabby. We lost a healthy, fairly fit, 46 yr old local banker to Covid a week ago. Go figure.

 

Wow that sucks, Stan.
Yes it is truly orbital, you can even stall the action.

 

stall the action? I'm a novice ......

 

The motor still spinning but the pad stops its orbital action. The "8" in the model number is how much throw the pad has in MM.

 

OK. I thought as much. My polisher is a straight rotary. I liked your kit, and it showed results for you and Mr. Blue. I always get "too good" a deals on black bikes.......lol. My last one (if there is another) will have color.

 

I'm out for the nite -Adios

 

Watch a couple of their videos.
I hate sounding like an advertiser for them, so you could also look at the detailing section and get some other ideas. There are likely better products out there.
But I got the results I was after relatively easily, so I'm a convert.

 

See ya, buddy.
