I regret not taking a picture, because it looked so good in the sun.

Ah I see. I think I'm going to pick up the Griots version soon. I have heard good things about it. You using Foam pads or microfiber pads for polishing?

I have foam, but the microfiber stuff seems pretty cool. I think you have to use their polish, so I didn't want to buy a whole other set of pads and polishes after I already had some.

You don't have to use their polish to use the microfiber pads. Cause Nick who came by and did my car used MF pad's with the griots / some other polish can't think of off top my head and it worked really good. I was watching and it seemed really smooth vs foam pads. Are you using menzerna for polishes right now?

No I use 3D's Uno polish. It can be used to cut, finish, and polish depending on which of their pads you use.

Haha, is he even signed up?

We will have to find time for it. I barely have any time and there are other people who have asked me about it so I'm trying to fit it all in on weekends since I'm working from about 8-7 each day. Might have to do it in early September.

Went to lewisville gun show today and sold off a CMMG free float full rail upper and got hard cash back. Only lost $100 after having it for 3 years and turned around and picked up a XD-M compact 9mm for the wifey.

Dude 106 degrees and crazy hot right now. Lets find a nice indoor range and either try to plan something out saturday 25th or any sunday any time. I will do some research and figure out what is a good location and try to post up something. Many have wanted to go but nothing came about it. I have a couple friends and wifey who are down and I am sure we can round up couple more folks and bring out a variety of hand guns.

Nope. Got a new job and my orientation is today so I didn't want to sign up until I knew my schedule which hopefully I get today.
