    How to use a buffer?

    If you just want to remove the swirl marks and shine up the car, I would use the foam applicator pad it came with and use compound (3M fast cut). This will shine up the car. Then apply your wax with the finishing pad. Remove the wax by hand (do not rub in circles-this will create swirls)...

    How to use a buffer?

    The porter cable "buffer" you are getting is not a true buffer. It is simply a detailing machine to remove swirls. It will not remove deeper scratches (I don't know how deep yours will be, but some clay bar can dull the paint and need to be buffed). Were you using a true buffer before? The...

    How to use a buffer?

    Do NOT go over 3000 rpm (you'll burn the paint). I recommend the Makita buffer. It can go slower than any other buffer out there-last time I checked. Depending on what grit you finish with (I'm going to assume finer than 1500 grit), I would use a half and half pad (half wool/half synthetic)...

    Gear Swap Question...

    You can just buy the ring and pinion set and use all your old bearings and shims. The last 8.8 rearend I set up that is what I did and it works perfect. Your pinion depth should be fine if you use your original shim wih ford motorsport gears. just make sure your backlash is within spec when you...

    Gorilla Lug Locks - Removal?

    If you are not experienced I would not use a air hammer but if you know what you are doing like i do using an air hammer is easy. That is also why i recommended going to a tire store. I think you are overreacting to my statement.

    Gorilla Lug Locks - Removal?

    I use an air hammer with a sharp chissel bit. You need to hold on to the chissel and feather the trigger. Once it digs in you can knock it loose and remove it. I would recommend going to a tire store and have it removed. Gorilla locks are easy to remove.

    Negative toe on the right rear

    Directional tires can still be swapped side to side to check for a pulling problem, Just do not leave them like that. I really doubt you have bent parts. If you have not installed the caster camber plates then do that it will allow you more adjustments. You just need your alignment set up...

    Negative toe on the right rear

    take it back to them and have the left front camber increased so it is more positive if you have any adjustment left. or lower the camber on the right side closer to the left. or they can decrease the caster on the left front from 3.7 to about 3.2. Or increase the right side caster. Basically on...

    Negative toe on the right rear

    That is nothing to worry about. It is actually really good. It will cause no unusual wear. I have 21 years of experience dealing with suspension repairs and alignments on crashed cars. They did a 4 wheel thrust align on your car which sets the front tires to the angle your rear tires are set at...
