    In short, It took 12 polishers, 1 pad washer(that's all he had time to do) 2 supervisors, 86 pounds of polish, 180 wool pads,6 cases of energy drinks, a combination of Dewalt, and Chinese buffers(the light ones are great for under the wings) and 5 days to bring it back to better than it's original shine. Pads were made for us by Lake country, some of the polish was Rolite, the rest was custom made for us.

    I agree! Just how do you go about ordering supplies for a job like that? Do you order polish by the drum(55 gallons at a time)?

    Great job guys!

    That is amazing... I cannot begin to imagine how much work that was... I bet once you got started, you thought, "What did I get myself into..." I bet you went through a ton of towels!

    That's worth one of these...
