I have done several guitars, which would be about 1.5' square areas from 2000 grit to mirror-shiny by hand, it takes at least 2 hours and yeah by the end my shoulder, fingers, forearms are aching.

The first 80% (getting a good shine) takes about 15 minutes. Getting every last scratch out... Takes what seems like an eternity. :icon17:

Mainly I do it because the whole surface has edges and holes and what-not for the controls, and it's just asking to be burned through if you use a machine, so I've never bought one. You focus on everything in between the holes/edges and carefully avoid all that stuff, even by hand you can easily burn through.

For a car, yeah, unless you are doing very small touch-up it's pretty dumb not to just go get a small buffer. :)

I'm looking for a new laptop and I might go with the regular non-stealth one because the 'U' processors seem weak and I run a lot of VMs and stuff, need as much CPU power as possible

:hello:

Hi stranger!
