Anyone ever deal with A shop called Athans Auto Body in Covina, Ca? It's small ... family owned, and I can't find anyone to say a bad word about them. And when he inspected my car, he found 3 things that weren't found in the initial inspection, or by 2 other body shops. Just wanted to throw it...
NOBODY?? Maybe someone should START a sticky for that then. Like... I live in XXX area, and I had a good/bad experience with YYY body shop. Best person to contact is ZZZ. He's a like minded person, and he'll understand the quality you're looking for.
I'll be happy to contribute some past...
Well, everyone, thanks again for all the help and the advice. But this project will have to be put on hold for a while. Yesterday morning at 10 a.m. someone changed lanes into the side of my car on the freeway and messed up the side of it pretty bad. So now I have to find a body shop that will...
For anyone that's interested ... one section pass with 205 completely cleared that test spot I had started of all swirls. It got real windy and started raining so that's all I got time to do. But with that kind of a result, I'm guessing that my next test spot I try from scratch will come to...
Nice cool.day outside. I'm gonna head out and hit a different spot on that fender with m205 and a white pad. I just feel like that's the next step up before switching to an orange pad, and I'm trying to stick to Mike Phillips Mantra of using the least aggressive possible solution.
Just thought I'd post back, as so many people don't, and leave us hanging!! Lol I went out and did a test spot today on the project vehicle. I guess im lucky I didn't have to be nervous in the least doing it, as I have a built in test panel on the vehicle. My right front fender is dented from...
I have read alot about 205 vs UP. From what I've gathered the main difference is that UP has "diminishing abrasives", so you work it, and as you do, it loses its cut, and as you continue to work it, it finishes off nicely because it, in essence, transforms Into a finishing polish with hardly...
Anyone else out there care to chime in? If i dont wash after i polish, Will I need to wipe It? If so with what? And what will it look like? Will it be dusty?, or Pasty? Or just ready to wax?
BOB ... Thank you SO much for taking the time to reply to all my queries. I greatly appreciate it. One quick question for you, since you brought it up ... without washing after polishing ... what becomes of the polish residue? How much of that will there be? What will it look like? Dust...
Anyone out there have any experience buffing the way I described? With the lambs wool for a "leveling" pad only to be used on top of a foam pad, and with microfiber bonnet on top? Or, should I just stick to buffing the wax by hand with one of those 1100 GSM towels I got?
Thanks for the good info. Guess I'll start out with the lake country pads and plate and move on with time and experience. Which pads would you recommend to move up from the ccs? Still lake country, just a different line? Or different company all together?
As for the lambs wool ... I should...
