wowy wow wow! i have a 1968 red sparkle ludwig kit that is also painted black. the bass drum had a tama tom mount put on it so it has to be repaired and refinished but i'm going to try to save the finish on the two toms. my friend actually has that 3M headlight kit because he used it on my headlights and it worked great. i'll ask him if we can try it for the toms! i also have a friend that is a guitar luthier and he has a high power buffer. it sounds like a good idea but, just incase, is there any reason why anyone might advise against that?

Using the high speed and power is very inviting, however, be careful n ot to overheat the wrap. It will stretcha nd wapr and shrink and do all sorts of unnatural things, and then may not be pretty anymore.

I used some stuff called Gel Gloss on my Vistalites. It's made for plastic shower enclosures and marble countertops. Worked pretty well, sort of fills in dirt scratches and leaves a light protective coating. I think it's about $8 for an aresol can and goes pretty far. Pretty cost effecient if you ask me. I'm going to try it on a wrap in the future.
