    Re: what's the last form of excercise you've done? Unfortunately I do not have any performance footage. And, I have actually been in the automotive industry longer than I have been dancing!

    What's the last form of exercise you've done?

    Re: what's the last form of excercise you've done? Yes, that is me in the picture! I am in good shape, but I never feel like I am in good enough shape. Ballet is exhausting!

    What's the last form of exercise you've done?

    Re: what's the last form of excercise you've done? Some moderate ballet partnering, first class back since holiday break. I both partake in the class and help showcase/teach the combinations. It is good for me as a professional to perfect my technique, and for the students as they get the...

    Acid Rain Damage - Any Hope?

    The majority of Porsche 911 paint is very soft and delicate. I would advise against wetsanding. I know Mike and a few others have vast experience polishing out air cooled porsches. It is my gathering that in general you want to focus on maximizing the gloss and be prepared to know that you...

    Can someone please tell me what these are?

    Looks like stone rash- which would be underneath the coating and in the paint- no real (safe) way to eliminate the issue if that is actually what it is. Would need more detailed pictures and to see the car in person to know for sure.

    Cost to wetsand a car? Example of tools needed and the cost

    Unfortunately it is not going to get any better. As the larger insurance companies are preferring (or are requiring) that new appraisers to have no technical field experience of any kinda but a minimum of a bachelors degree in business. So the only knowledge they want their appraisers to have...

    Cost to wetsand a car? Example of tools needed and the cost

    I wish insurance companies could see this post!!!!!!! At best they give us .3 hrs per panel to denib and polish. That is 18 MINUTES!!!!!! On top of that, they put that .3 hrs in the body labor category- which means you don't get paid for the materials used!!!! And people wonder why bodyshops...

    From what I have seen/heard most of the issues were with modified cars with bad/aggressive tunes. Team O'Neil Rally School campaigned an RS throughout the American Rally Association 2017 season and Climb To The Clouds hill climb at Mt. Washington this year with no issues. The powertrain is...

    Stored gas containers causing mold on inside of Detail Van?

    I believe you are referring to Mildew, not Mold. And yes, with today's ethanol rich gasoline it very well could be mildew due to the moisture. Don't quote me on this, let's see what others have for answers.

    Wax is gone ! How can I prove this out?

    You are not alone in this thought. Especially considering, that a poor polishing job with rotary holograms and nothing added on top will still bead water. And this is something that I observed for years. Many years ago while in my early 20's I had a 92 Celica that I kept protected with...

    Body shop safe products...

    With newer paint technologies/chemicals this is really more of a non issue these days. It would really only be an issue if you were using cheap, greasy dressings.

    What are you listening to...?

    I've known about Pete since I was a young boy/pre-teen (probably around 20-25 yrs ago, as I always loved seeing his work in Hot Rod Magazine and the other custom car magazines when I was growing up) and I had no clue that he was in a band! That is so cool!!!!! Here is an oddball flame job he...
