Do you polish under the Fuzz and wings ? and how do you polish right up to the edge of a painted area? How much does the paint weight on the outside on a decent paint job? . Like the idea of less cost and weight too but the thought of having to grovel on the ground polishing under neath does not float my boat. Thanks Kevin -------- Austria .............

My Cessna 150 POH lists paint at 16lbs. so you can probably figure about 14 for an XL with average amount of trim paint (that being a second coat in those areas).

I did W&B before and right after painting with no exposed aluminum left to polish. I can also fully appreciate the prospective "joy" of polishing upside down and around color trim paint. Painting is a big chore, but decidedly worth it no matter what kind you use. That's a 4 year perspective, twice a year, just spray off the dust and wipe dry. Bugs seem to come off paint much easier too with just a little cleaner. Good luck, Larry McFarland 601HDS at www.macsmachine.com K Dilks wrote: > > After looking at all the nice shiny 601xl s on the web I have to ask . > Do you polish under the Fuzz and wings ? and how do you polish right up to the edge of a painted area? > How much does the paint weight on the outside on a decent paint job? > > .
