“Huh. This compound is gray, but the bonnet is almost the same color as the car. How’d that happen!?” :doh:

It me! [only maybe a decade earlier] I also punished many a paint job (and my upper body) with a B&D “Professional” 12-inch “orbital” wobbler and wool and terry bonnets in the 80s.

It depends on the situation, but if I’m going all out I use an Air Wand attached to my Shop•Vac’s blower, and while it’s a bit unwieldy it really does work well. Then I use a rubber tipped Prevost gun and compressed air to dry out door jambs, seals and panel gaps. A quick once over with a...

I also swear by Gummipflege, and use it on all rubber (other than tires), inside and out. I’ll coat harder black trim with Dlux or Trim or C4, but any soft rubber just gets Gummipflege any time I’m not just doing a simple mtc wash.

Perhaps not coincidental, but I was wondering exactly this when Bob’s name was invoked this weekend.

Thanks for the glowing review, I’m sold. FG400 has long been my go-to first step for moderate to heavy correction, and yes, the VOCs are… noticeable :laughing:. I’ve used Speed a few times for quickie once-and-dones, but it never caught my attention like D151 Reconditioning Cream did a decade...

I was just about to post about my pressure washer undercarriage sprayer attachment, ordered from the same Colorado-based place as my wheel detailing stand. It’s pretty fantastic. They recommend it be used with a gasoline pressure washer (2200-3000 psi), but I find it’s absolutely perfect with an...

Part of my KISS Principle. LATA is just totally awesome. I don’t get to Dollar General very often, but when I do I make sure to pick up a couple of half gallon bottles.

Lol I just ordered new OV/P100 canisters for my half-mask with the imminent arrival of my Tornador Max/VV. Ain’t no way I want to be breathing the cocktail of chemicals and mold, rot, and bacteria that thing’ll kick into my immediate environment! Also wise to wear when doing most coatings; you...

Utes in Australia put most of our trucks to shame. :coolgleam:

Might be some Human Factors training on order there. If stuff like that happens at my day job, people end up looking for work.

Lol yeah I rigged it with a cut-to-fit square of ⅝” plywood to which I rounded the corners and quarter-rounded the edges. I gave it a couple of coats polyurethane varnish. Now I can throw the rig on a milk crate and it’s the right height for my rolling shop stool. :dblthumb2:

I’m positive you could find a light on Ali for a fraction of the “brand” name’s price. I got mine a bunch of years ago when few companies were taking advantage of the bullchit “supply chain issues” to bend us over for profits. The method above is almost the same as that in the original thread...

lmaooooooooooooo I got nothin else to say

I guess everywhere else I go that requires me to sign consent or disclaimer forms, I should also be prepared to submit my particulars and fingerprints for a full background check. I’ve never once felt like a criminal for agreeing to terms and conditions. That’s just nonsense.

You’re a very good brother and person. I have no problem with your MO. Well done! :dblthumb2:

Ditto. Five year breather in my case. :cool: :cheers:

Either way this isn’t the right place for that kind of attack. Not cool.

I sure wish I had an iBrid for rims. I suppose I could use my Flex Kompakt but I find rotary is a bit aggressive on all the sharp curves and corners.

It’s not from here, but I couldn’t be happier with my wheel detailing stand. I don’t often have to detail wheels off the car, but even if it just gets used when I change all our cars' tires every spring and fall, it will pay for itself in personal satisfaction.
