Been using this stuff for almost a year...It has no fillers. And creates less heat on the panel. I use their recommended wool pad......and this stuff is the best I evah used. And I’ve tried a lot of different compounds. You cannot buff this compound to a shine.or buff it off. It has a lubricant that stays on the panel,that has to be wiped off with a micro fiber towel. A deep deep shine. You ever have a fresh paint job ...and “spin” a section of clear,because of the heat generated.....this compound lessens that ,by that lubricant in it. Plus very little is needed...just 4 dots the size of dimes on the pad....covers a lot of the panel. ..If the compound your using ,buffs to a shine..it’s full of fillers....which means ,it looks great short term....until you wash it 2-3 times...then it looks like you never buffed it.

I bought a reproduction antenna and am having a heck of a time getting it to fit. Has anyone else had this problem?

Meaning having a repop part that doesn't fit? Everyone probably.
Sorry, I know that's no help...

Before I install these moldings does anybody know the best way to put them on? Should I put the clips on the body or on the moulding first ?

Color looks great. You did a good job getting all those body lines straight. I wish I worked as fast as you.

It will be nice to be able to go to some shows again unlike last year. Maybe I'll see you at some of them.
