+1 It sounds to me like too much was used for the spray and wipe and natty's red. Especially the red if that ghosts at a later date like that it's obvious it was applied too thick. when you apply it, it should be barely visable that you are applying Natty's Red and blue too.
Hi and welcome to the site. I used to live in Rockaway and now have a place in Dover. I know the area well. What are you using to apply and remove product?
Knowing the NJ NY area it is the cost of land. Here in NNJ we had two next door to each other it was great. One had it's roof collapse and they tore it down. The one that is left is a disaster, your car gets dirtier leaving the place then when you entered because of all the mud filled pot...
I think i know what is going on. Since your used to a PC and holding it flat against a panel, with a rotary you can't hold it flat against the panel instead you want to have pressure on one side ie the left or the right depending on the direction you are going. The rotary has a learning...
Something to keep in mind. D151 doesn't play nice with certain waxes and sealants. I tried it with Fuzion and PB's Natty blue and it streaked like crazy. I have heard that M16 does play well with D151. I am dying to try the combo out to see what the durability is on that combo.
After working 14 years as a tool and die maker and dealing a lot with Anodized aluminum. I would never ever use an abrasive of any sort on anything anodized. Especialy something that is supposed to be flat black.
First you have to understand what anodizing is in the first place. Essentially...
I can't tell you yes or no. In my experience D151 doesn't play well with some sealants and waxes. I have never tried it with a glaze. In all honesty I wouldn't use a AIO product only to top it with a sealant or glaze since D151 has a wax formulated in already. If you want just a one step...
I toattally agree, 85 rd is a finishing polish and the orange is a cutting pad. Granted you never specified what machine you're using. I have used PO203 with a white pad on a makita rotary and it finished down perfect on a friends TBSS that uses the exact same paint system that your CTS-V...
Your right that is definitely a small block in the engine bay. The Nascar motor is based on the 351W block. It is a stroker kit. ford sells a 427 stroker kit based on the 351 windsor motor. 500 HP is about average for those kits. PAW has the same kit they have to do a lot of notching of the...
I like the idea Mike had withe adding M105 to D151 call it MD256. Once all the snow melts up here in NJ I will try it on a few practice cars to see how it turns out.
Re: Malita Rotary pad sizes
Not only jeweling but you really can't spread at 1000 rpm. It slings like crazy. One thing nobody talks about is that at speed setting #1 the Flex's throttle is an on/off switch. On the makita the throttle is still progressive from 0%-100% of the selected speed...
Re: Malita Rotary pad sizes
I have both the Makita and the 3403. for a beginner i would go with the Makita hands down. The Makita is the slowest at it's lowest speed setting. As a beginner I have found the slowere you go the better you are it helps prevent holograms.
