That's all I use now it makes changing from the cutting pad to the foam finishing pad a breeze.

Look at what I just scored!!!

Boost activated exhaust valve. Starts to open at 9psi. Its wide open at 12psi.

I'm going to install this after the CAT. Then build a 1 1/2" dia. exhaust pipe loop around it pre-turbo that will have a Honda OEM muffler inline.

With the valve closed exhaust will have to run through the muffler. At WOT the valve will open at 9psi. and have a straight shot 3" dia. to the turbo and dump out at the quarter panel.

More progress.

My tail lights were a little scratched and cloudy so I decided to sand and buff them.
Before

Sanded with 1500 wet dry then used 3M trizact 5000 with a DA.


Then buffed out with Presta stage 1, 2 step.


Installed rear bumper and all the side moldings.

You're a madman!

That definitely looks better!

Scotty Kilmer made a few videos about using Scratch Out. The kid at Pep Boys did not know anything about it, he told me to use Meguire's. This is my hood:

You can barely feel the scratches, so I figure they are only as deep as the clear coat. The polishing compound did not do anything, so I tried the rubbing one. That made the scratches look bigger, so I figure that I need to wet sand.

He also said that we could use Scratch Out and a buffer to fix headlights. The polishing compound worked for me!
