constant maintenance on polished aluminum! anyone have a suggestion on something that will seal it up after polishing?

when I first came around here, some folks mentioned using an electric leaf blower to dry the vehicle off after a wash and hose rinse. well, I bought one from homies for about 70bucks, that was about a year and a half ago. I have never towel dried my truck since then, I just qd it with one micro...

single stage eurothane is just clear coat with color in it.. so, just go after it like any other:Picture:

ditch the backing plate. get the edge 2k adapter and some edge 200 double sided wool pads and foam pads with the quick lock.. pretty good stuff, I use my rotary regularly..:cool:

I have to check this out better tomorrow, the smell has transferred to my t shirt, I detailed the whole vehicle, it came from something..:confused:

I used this the other day on my tonneau cover, and I get this funny smell of mildew. I didn't quite notice it immediately, but after a bit. can anyone confirm this ??

Happy New Years to all :cheers:

with a grit of 2500 to 3000, and diminishing upon use, how much better can you get before using a sealant?:confused:

I wonder why we didn't all float away with all the rain we're having.:D

well, I don't use wheel pads for wax, and the regular compounds and polishes are usually water based, I haven't found a need to be harsh on them. the products used don't spoil or actually absorb into the wool or the sponge material in the pads, just the air spaces in the pads. at least that's...

you only noticed it now? solvent pop or heavy orange peel = wet sand + rotary - watch the edges...or better, tape them off.

we use that leaf blower a lot here, don't we. why did they ever call this place the sunshine state?

i just hose em down real good right after I'm done and spin em for a bit, and put the pad side down to dry. don't let it sit in water, I don't think that's good for the adhesive which holds the pad to the wheel.

keep the rpm well under 2000 till you get the hang of it. get some compund for at 1200 grit scratches to get rid of those lean over scratches. and yes do use a spritz of water once in a while if its hot outside. keep the pad flat, and rotation goes past an edge not into an edge. that's the only...
