Tom,

It's hard to say what caused the clear to lift,

could have been almost anything.

But - I wouldn't wax the hood at all.

Try rubbing compound and follow it with a buffer and

buffing compound. But no wax.

Wax has silicones in it, and is very hard to remove from porous

paint surfaces. That makes successful re-painting almost impossible.

Rubbing compounds and most polishing compounds don't have

any siliconizing agents - so no re-paint troubles.

The best restoration and body shops don't even keep wax on the premises.

I tried the rub on some scallops yesterday - perfect!

I was putting it on turkey sandwiches too. Real good stuff.

That's good,glad you liked it,and I appreciate the info on the paint. I'm thinking of taking the hood off and sending it to Illnois to have it buffessionally redone by a master. Gotta look into shipping charges first,but i've gotta do something with it,i'd hate for it to rust. Rob kinda got me worried about the moisture seeping into it.

Maybe you could get that "master" to continue

his upcoming road trip down to Gladys from southern Ohio.

Or think about delivering the hood to Larry (Freightrain),

before Rob shows up to get his new tools.

Then have it shipped back by Yellow or someone like that.

Hey, good thinking! I'm up and down 77 in Ohio a lot,except I usually run 21 through Massillon to bypass Akron and Canton.
