I know, huh? Poor thing! I haven't heard from Jana as to whether they got her up and running again or not?

I tried starting with 1000, but that was just too slow and didn't seem to be cutting very well. Granted, we were hand sanding the thing, not using a DA, but that old gel was HARD!

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

now go attack your car with a claybar, DA and rubbing compound/glaze/carnuba.  blue painters tape the seals and cracks and have at it.
