1993 Pathfinder, RR's new toy
 
So I picked up this truck to have as a fixer upper, ranch truck and daily driver to save the F250 some miles.

Using a Flex and an PC7424XP with black Megs Finish pads and Megs MF pads...using PB PP just to clean the surface
Blue Megs clay

Not bad for a paid blogger!!:goodbad:

Very nice work as usual RR, I think Tom has some competition making white pop.

As usual, JP takes a well used vehicle that most of us wouldn't take a second look at and makes it look absolutely awesome. Along the way, he re-discovers how hard it it to take proper pictures of white paint - no matter what shape its in. Yes Dave, I may have some serious (friendly) competition here.

Too bad he screwed the whole thing up by hopelessly abrading the paint with super abrasive clay that all major manufacurers have said not to use and that Meg's has been sued by the federeal government for selling. Oh wait, it actually helped him bring this one back. Never mind.

Tom, you are so right, I cannot take photos of white either. I worked on it some more today and I should have updated the thread with new photos...I did a second round of BlackWow and like you did on the salt truck, I went a little crazy with the HD.
