    Specific Material Usages (Advice Requested)

    --- Yeah i understand the no paint thing. I know it's strong stuff, and they have to be able to cover their own backs as a business. I will be sure to not use it on a panel that isn't being repainted. Everything else will just get my Dupont Prep-sol 3919s, if it requires. --- Not sure if you...

    Specific Material Usages (Advice Requested)

    I had a few question's on what certain materials can be used for, and when to use them exactly. I tried researching, but most of the "senior" members use abbreviations of products and product type, and i simply have not got all of them down yet :D I purchased a few things from here and there...

    Harbor Freight DA Polisher - New

    --- I just bought mine from BJ's. Was 80 bucks, and the 3" was 60$ IIRC. I didn't get the 3" though because i would rather just put a 3" attachment on my gg6.

    Received my GG6 today in the mail... Oh my that thing is heavier than anticipated. Not complaining, it feels solid... just wasn't expecting such weight when looking at it in the box.

    damaged clear coat, stg 1 or stg 2?

    --- problem with rattle can clear. It goes on like sand paper, and iirc has no UV protection. If you MUST use a rattle can. Tape off the section that is peeling after removing anything lose.

    damaged clear coat, stg 1 or stg 2?

    --- I am a painter... So I'll never be okay with a vynil wrap lol. To me it's just cheap and tacky looking. A gloss finish from real clear will always be more durable, shiny, deep looking, and will be able to be fixed if something would happen. I'm on the east coast, so west coast pricing might...

    damaged clear coat, stg 1 or stg 2?

    --- You sand down the entire roof, because you don't just clear the section thats peeling. You would clear the entire roof and mask off the rest of the car. This way you have a fresh coat of clear, and the sanding help with adhesion of the new clear. I suggested not sanding the part that you...

    Buff & Shine Pads - Mothers Professional Product Line

    --- Start off with either 1,500 or 2,000 depending on if there are any defects, end at 3,000. From what i read/heard, the orange pads from buff and shine are way too aggressive as it is. I spoke to their product tech recently on the phone and he suggested the yellow compound pad, orange only if...
