Cardaddy - sorry to not mention my name. It is Bret. Yes, one "T". I was named after Bret Maverick. If you know the show, you know I'm old.
Thanks for the suggestion on how to search better. I was feeling a little dumb when you and others started providing links to threads concerning this...
Mike - Thanks for the advice. I recently bought your book and read it. I hope i can get down there for some of your training too someday! I am in the Pacific Northwest so am at the farthest opposite corner of the country!
This has been a fun build and it's satisfying to see the vision come...
Cardaddy - thanks for the definition of "IPA". My mind went directly to Indian Pale Ale...go figure
Mike - thank you for taking time to reply. I really appreciate everyone's help and advice.
So, yes, I did have a couple of areas with small runs. I did use a 1000 Unigrit block keeping it flat...
Cardaddy, gskr and dlc, thanks much for responding and the advice. I will have to order up some Menzerna and hybrid pads and give that combo a try. And I will slow the speed for sure!
GSKR - what is "ipa"? Or are you referring to beer?
Haven't posted much but i look to this forum for advice and opinions. I am building a '29 Model A Roadster into a hot rod. This was a ground up build and finally after 4 years, I painted all the sheet metal and am getting ready to assemble. Prior to assembly, i am wet sanding and buffing all the...
THROW IT AWAY! I made the same mistake and have spent MANY hours getting scratches out of the paint on my Mustang. I mistakenly thought my garage floor was pretty clean and I could just fold the clay over after I dropped it. It made me physically ill to see the damage I did to my pristine paint...
richy....thanks for explaining the abreviations. Also, my comment about not saying to use a search was certainly not directed at you. I am on other forums where one does not dare ask a question (that someone else may feel is stupid) without getting ripped a new one. Thanks again!
Looks good. Translate abbreviations though please....
CQF? OG? DG? ARO? CP?
What is Eraser Wipe down?
DG Squeaky Clean?
Thanks!
Oh yeah.....no comments back to "try using search". Already did. Just need to know if these are products / techniques I need in my arsenal.
Hey neighbor.....I'm in Camas! Like you, I found this site after getting my new to me Mustang. I thought I took pretty good care of my cars until I started reading the info here. Now I have a new Flex 3401 and need to order more stuff! My wife just laughs at me because I am always in the garage...
Wow! Quick responses! Thanks so much for the help! There are so many products out there and so much information, it can be a little overwhelming.
rmagnus - thanks for the link to that information. That helps a lot! As for pads, my Flex came with a orange cutting pad, the white polishing pad and...
Hi all...I have searched the forum and have not really found the answer to my question. I have a 2011 Mustang that is bright red. The paint looks flawless until it is sunny, then there are very light scratches, probably from washing. There are visible only at certain angles. I just bought a Flex...
Just joined after getting my new Flex.....current Mustang 2011 GT Premium, 6MT, Raxioms, Eleanor grill, Roush axle backs. Had to pick up the Flex to polish out fine scratches. Looks amazing now.
