    What size cup is appropriate?

    What steps to detail/restore paint?

    I'm a self claimed body man lol if that helps. What i would do is go to a body shop and pick up the finer of the scotch brights. Its white or black I can't remember which and start with that. see how much oxidation comes off. Its very similar to wet sanding just not as abrasive. Use water. Then...

    why do you guy's like a turbo vs a centrif Supcharger?

    It depends on what your looking for. Me and my brother have had this conversation millions of times. If you want almost instant power you want a supercharger. If you want more efficient power you want a turbo. IMHO, I would go with both. Twin charging. I know someone said why do that, well if...
