If you're not careful, you might have a whole car, that you can actually drive pretty soon.

had other things to do today besides work on the Camaro but I walked past it and saw how rough the rear bumper looked and decided to give it a quick polish, it made a huge difference....

Scooch, what are you using on your chrome? The bumper looks really nice has me thinking about mine LoL.
How do you like your wheel dollies that you have under your car? I've seen them a few times and thought about trying a set myself but not sure if I would find them useful or not.

Coming along nicely. Chrome polish works pretty good?

this is the stuff I used on the bumpers guys....



its wadding already impregnated with the polish, you just pull it out and tear off little chunks. Made my Bumpers look like new. It didnt work as well on the SS window trim, but for the chrome its great.

Darrell, the wheel dollies are great. I pull the car away from the wall to work on it and then shove it back over when Im finished. I would definitely recommend them if you are cramped for space. I bought mine at Harbor Freight on the cheap so they dont roll as easy as some of the expensive ones but for the money they work just fine for me.

I have a different idea of what "wadding polish" is!
I haven't used that stuff before, how would you say it compares to the Mothers/Flitz compound?
In the name of science, I think you need to do a side-by-side comparison.

well, the Mothers compound I had was the only thing that would take the black off of the Windshield trim. The wadding was a stocking stuffer from a few years back thats just been sittin on the shelf. I know it works good on the chrome and i thought it was more for Aluminum even though it says "all metals". sorry, never tried Flitz big guy.
