05rex8's Turbo 8 Photoshoot

05rex8 · 09-05-2009, 09:14 PM

Just did a 3-stage buff and wax on the 8 today, so I thought I would take some pics. Enjoy!

1. Buff with wool pad and cutting compound
2. Buff with light cut foam pad and polish
3. Buff with foam finish pad and wax

This is all done with a rotary buffer.

That's just what I call it; not sure if that's really the technical term

I love the Droid. Best phone out there for verizon hands down. It also causes me to not get much work done because I am always playing with it lol.
