I inherited my Dad's rv8. He had it nicely polished at one point but it's been about 10 years since it's been touched. After spending a couple years addressing mechanical issues and learning the plane I finally decided to start cleaning it up.
I've never polished before so I picked up an orbital polisher, some Nuvite C, and a Rupes wool pad and read Nuvites manual. It seems to be working except that no matter how much I run the polisher the black smudge doesn't go away. On the videos it polishes away after about a minute, but mine is still there after 10. Eventually I give up and wipe it away with a rag.
Am I missing something?
