He buffs the front and rear bumpers of his 1978 Z/28 Camaro, which have a lot of bends, curves and shapes - so you'll learn all the tricks you need to know to buff your car and make it look great. He starts by using Eastwood sand paper to remove imperfections in the clear. he then moves on to 3M Trizact Paper to remove any fine scratches caused by the sand paper. And remember not to sand those peaked edges - it's too easy to cut through your clear. Also, don't forget to soak your sand paper in water and soap to make it last. And keep your area wet when you're sanding.
KT uses the Eastwood Buffer Polisher that has a slow start and variable speed to buff the large areas. He then moves on to a small 3" Eastwood Buffer. He has multiple buffing pads for each - starting with a coarse wool pad and moving to a soft foam pad. He uses the Norton Liquid Ice System to buff it perfect.
Before the episode is over he visits the AACA Museum in Hershey Pennsylvania - Chocolate Town - to see the awesome display of antique Indian motorcycles. Some motorcycles are over 100 years old - including one with "skis" on each side for riding in the snow. Plus a "buckboard" type vehicle that was basically a go-cart and was considered street legal at the time.
Tetz has almost transformed his beat up 78 Z into a Pro-Touring Machine! Check out all the past episodes to see how he got to this point.
Kevin is definitely an Eastwood Guy. Are You?
