I would like to polish my FTRA. I know you won't be able to see it but I am very picky and since it is winter I have lots of time. So how do I polish it without buying a buffing machine. Thanks

Wow, there's a lot on info out there on this type of subject, but IMHO, most of it is learned from practice, and lots of it.

Here's a good link that has tech tips and how to articles on how to polish by hand or machine and a great list of polishes to use for any particular purpose.

You may also want to check out www.properautocare.com as they has many how to articles on this as well.

In a nutshell, polishing by hand can be easy or it can be hard, depending on what you're trying to do. A good rule of thumb is make sure the product you are using or going to use is the proper one for the job. From there, it's pertty simple as long as you follow the directions on the bottles, use good quality buffing towels, and the right hand technique.
