  • Reflectivity Defined

    I recently added a fiberglass tonneau to my truck as I've been wanting one for well over a year. Upon arrival, the lid was slightly swirled (caused by poor buffer techniques from the factory post-painting apparently). I negoitated with the selling dealership to make the lid a little cheaper pending I'd still accept delivery.

    I took pictures of the swirls but, in my infinite wisdom, I deleted them before I took them off my camera (yes, I'm a bonehead). None the less, I have pictures of the final product. Note the sticker on the back glass, driver's side lower.

    Products Used:

    Meguiar's #9 2.0 Swirl Remover with a DA and 8006 pad
    NXT with a DA and 9006 pad (2 coats)
    #26 with a DA and 9006 pad (2 coats)

    Needless to say, I took the discounted topper and ran out the door with a big grin on my face knowing that the swirls wouldn't be a problem!

    That looks nice Rockpick, I like the nice soft curves of the design. Good work on the re-polishing of the finish too!
