    Default got wood?


    i replaced my console wood today because the housings below it that hold the sliding tank track looken thingie crumbled. everything in the yard looked like it went a few rounds with a belt sander, so i did a little experament with a buffer and automotive compound, it's out of a 200+k mile rough 94 525, nothing special just a full sized b&d buffer with a wool buff and some fine compound, whatcha think

    Looks like you brought it back to life. When those pieces are out of their places, you can see about umteen coats of clear that covers the wood, almost seems 1/4" thick....but it's not. A rare talent indeed, to have the right touch, and not wear through to the finish.

    None of my BMW's have "wood"......if they did, I'd burn it for horsepower...=)
