1993 RX-7 Tail Light Correction

A buddy of mine is getting his 93' Mazda RX7 prepped for paint and I told him I would take care of his tail lights for him. They were outragiously violated with swirls and god knows what else.

Anyways. The products I used were simple and thats what I like:

Cleaned tail lights with Meg's NXT QD

Polished with Prima Swirl w/ White Pad on PC @ Speed 5
(2 passes on each section)

Time: 45 minutes (thanks to the photography)

Results:



































Thanks for looking.

Adam

I can polish just about anything heh

The machine i used on the tail lights is a Porter Cable orbital polisher. I dont like using rotary's on head and tail lights. too much power and too much chance in messing up your plastics.


Thanks for the comments.
