Things You'll Do when your bored and you have M86 to spare

Nothing to do , drove to my friends chop shop and got myself a Daihatsu L200 bonnet. Since nothing to do , this is what happen to me today......

Gave it a good wash through with Kit Car Wash + APC (5:1).
When the heaven open , found all of this !!!
SWIRL CITY !


One of the edges was very badly damage !!!
Lots of RDS and whatever you name it , it's there !

After one round of M86+W8006

After 2nd round of M86+W8006

So, W8006 is not making enough cut. Didn't manage to lay my hands on anything that can cut so , brought out the Makita Wool Pad !!!! :lol:
After 1 pass of M86+Makita Original Wool Pad and Finish with M86+W8006


The rest of the bonnet !
After First pass of M86+W8006


After 2nd pass of M86+W8006

Again it wasn't cutting good. Brought out Mr Wool Pad

Left a trail and some minor hologram's
So i finish off with M86+W8006


This is what you get when you're bored and your hands are itchy !
Btw , special thanks to the members here for guidance. Especially fishbonezken , Krismas n g88 (all from Meguiars Malaysia)!

Note : First timer here using using 9227C for polishing ! Was fun !!!!!

Simple. It was my first time with the Makita.
Didn't wanted to test the stuff on a real car anyway.
Furthermore , the bonnet was borrowed. Didn't cost me a cent.
Might return it when it's over.

Re: Things You'll Do when your bored and you have M86 to spare

I presume by "chop shop" you mean a body (repair) shop, but here in the US, chop shop has a different meaning...so you probably don't want to use that on this board, if you know what I mean

Thanks for the kind words J. A. Michaels, Krismas (been seeing you around alot lately), yalerd and Mr Mustang.
Setec Astronomy : Thanks to you too. I seriously have no idea what does it mean in the States. Nevertheless , I'll choose my words wisely next time.
