This afternoon I began the final stage of polishing the 9.

I predict it will take another 6 hours of work before the bus is finally complete. Down to using the white compound. I can say that three 9 inch Harbor polishers, 20 nine inch bonnets and 10 lbs of compound later that the bus looks great. It really has made a difference. Once complete in the next few days I will post a picture. I have polished the original front turn signal housings, the rear signal housings and the side turn signal units. I removed all the large rub rails and will begin setting those up for paint in the next week or so.
I cannot wait to finish the polishing. I can say that based on 45 hours of work so far, I have mastered the art of using compound to do the work. $3500.00 would be a steal in my book.
