Thanks for the input guys. I sent the car off yesterday, I did not end up washing it. I sprayed the finish with FK425 and it turned out fantastic. I'm not sure on the humidity level here that day. The temp was 57* outside and 65* in the garage. I have read that some members have had issues with...

I wonder? I think I'll be foaming the car with Dawn in a few min...

Wsup all, I recently finished a paint correction on a 1956 Chevy 2-10 Post. Here is my issue. I applied a THIN coat of WG DGPS via PC with a LC red pad (speed set to 3) at approx. 3pm this afternoon. After letting the product set for an hour or so. I wiped the surface clean using a few Cobra...

I was just watching a special on the History Channel "Secret Access To Air Force One" Amongst all the special treatment this plane gets, it also gets HAND WAXED! The whole thing. I wonder what wax they use? Collintie 845 would be my guess LOL

Good idea, I will give that a try.

Since I HATE tape/back taping door jambs... I found that backer rod works really well.

I use it on my BMW wheels (18" mesh Style 5 replicas). These wheels look AMAZING when there clean. They look ehh when there dirty + they are very time consuming to clean.... So I rubbed some 845 one em about 2 months ago. Now soap and water is all it takes to make it look like I spent all day...

Another vote for clay. I recomend Clay Magic, you can get at your local auto-parts store.

I live approx. 20 min south of San Francisco (San Mateo). It has been near triple digits for the 5 days making it difficult to detail. How is the weather where you guys live?

:urtheman:

That looks awesome.

Brady is the man, just so happends that I played on the same baseball team as him. He lives/lived like 2 blocks away from me in San Mateo. But, I am a diehard 49er fan.
