Wow! Now I’m kinda pumped up on restoring my shell topper that sits on my 68 F100 SB 4x4. Your rig is similar to mine in that it also has a konieg winch on an extended front bumper. I appreciate your video. I can use it for reference when I take on this restoration project . Great job!

@@backtolife208 Yeah I really like it. The guy I bought it from was in a 4 wheel drive club in Colorado. Mechanically it’s in decent shape, he worked on it and kept it up but it was parked for a few years. I just need to work on the cancer and a couple of dents and need to replace the carburetor. Thanks again!👍

What type of machine is it the one you use
@backtolife208 2 ай бұрын
@@mrfreebandz it’s a polisher, sometimes called a buffer. Mine is a cheap old Craftsman brand. It has a two speed switch. The better ones have a variable speed switch. A polisher runs at lower RPMs than a sander. Lower RPMs help so you don’t create too much heat and burn the paint. Hope that helps answer your question.

Hey gotta a question I have a 1998 silverado z71 I bought it new May 1998 well the top of the cab and the hood has heavy oxidation. I watched you video and already had a big 8 inch polisher I bought several years go to do the same kinda project and threw in on a shelf because I don t know anything about polishing a vehicle in this condition. I ordered the same wizard finishing cut your using and the same wool pad. I could not even get hardly any shine to come thru at all no yes I washed the truck first. So any suggestions on what could be my problem. I tried different speeds and more and less finishing cut. So I am at a loss at what to do and my paint is nowhere near as bad looking as the paint on your green Ford.
@backtolife208 6 ай бұрын
Sounds like you have a stubborn one. If it’s heavily oxidized you need to remove the oxidation. Your truck has a clear coat. Mine does not. You could wet sand the oxidation off before you polish it. Just know that if you sand through the clear coat, you’ll have to repaint it. The base coat under the clear doesn’t have any protective properties against the elements. Do more research before going this route. I can’t give you a good recommendation about this without seeing it in person. OR You might be able to remove the oxidation with wizard turbo cut. It’s much more abrasive. No guarantee though. I can only guess without seeing it in person. Do more research. Maybe even ask a body shop what they would do or recommend. I’m just giving you ideas to learn about before trying them. Good luck. I hope you can bring your paint back to life.

Enjoyed the video and family banter. Question: does it matter what RPM you rip the buffer? What type of wax do you end up using? Thanks in advance.
@backtolife208 6 ай бұрын
Thank you for that, I’m glad you enjoyed it. The rpm only matters because of how much heat you can produce with too high of a speed. You’ll want to be careful not to overheat and burn the paint. You’ll have to also make sure you’re using a polisher, which I believe is slower than a grinder. Go slow initially to spread out the polishing compound. Speed up a bit when it’s not going to throw polish everywhere. Go a little faster to finish the polish. I had a pretty old bottle of Race Glaze that I used. I’m not sure if that brand is even out there anymore. I would try any brand as long as it’s a finishing wax/final step.
