Great looking plane!
You need to fly out with us to Mt Eagle Escape at the Lake of the Ozarks, and I hope you can make it to the "Fly-In to Summer" event on June 17

Zephyr Airway buffing wheels to "cut in" the rivet lines, longerons and any tight areas near an edge, then going back through with the Nuvite and a wool compounding pad for the open areas. 

The Zephyr Airway wheels polish on the edge of the wheel, and they polish the rivet areas better than the wool pads that get torn up by the rivets. On the Cruzer, the thin strip between the door and the rear window with two lines of rivets is a pretty tough piece to do with a wool pad and Nuvite. The Zephyr is also really good in tight corners or along an edge (like the window openings).

The Nuvite does a better job of the open areas of skin between rivet lines (no stiffeners underneath) as it works a larger area with less pressure.
