I have painted three sets of wheels matte black. What I did was use scotch brite pads and rough up the surface. I then used a self etching primer. Two coats. Lightly wet sanded the primer. I then applied three coats of wheel paint. I picked it up at summit racing which was local to me, but I am...

Vibram five fingers. Light, can wear without socks comfortably, dry quick, are machine washable, and have excellent grip.

I use it and love it. I tested it on a car that I had clayed one panel. It still bled. Like said above, clay only gets the tip of the iceberg.

Hey Ned! Not sure if you get on this anymore. Hope all is well and that car of yours is running and looking great!

Welcome to the board. Ft Leonard Wood eh? Ugh. Hated that place. Nothing around. Good luck!

What is it you are wanting to seal with the 845 and/or spray wax? The trim? BTW, nice car. I love Cobras. :)

Without more info, it is really hard to say. It could be to paint is extremely hard and you are not working it long enough. It could be marring from the pad/product combo on soft paint. Do the swirls appear to be changing at all? Are they getting less noticeable? Are they just staying the...

Oh, and what I really hate is slideshow videos with music. Those I do not care for. Just my opinion.

I like both personally. To me it is more about the skill of the person doing the write up/talking/taping/photographing. Some one who is poor at any of those is just gonna have a poor write up. I see a LOT of doctored photos in write ups. Colors are changed etc etc. One thing I love about photo...
