The porter cable is great and very user friendly. I was a first timer with it as well. I agree with above about the 5.5" pads and getting more of the orange, white and gray.

I just got done sealing and waxing my mustang. I would like to put the car cover on it to keep it in top shape. Any ideas on how long I need to wait, if I need to wait at all before I put the cover on? Thanks

Had a few spots to fill but nothing major. Only had one spot on the passenger door that had some rust. I also used two different colors of hardener in my filler so that if I had to go over the same spot twice I could see my progress better. With 3 coats of primer I had hours and hours of...

Need to wipe the drool off my key board now.:drool: I absolutely love those cars. Nice work

OP is asking about trim

I did 3 coats of primer with a guide coat each time. Each time being wet sanded and working down those high and low spots. Got a new front and rear bumper as well. Here's the spoiler and the Cobra front bumper insert.

Thanks, I try to keep reminding myself that I really do love this stuff. The "time" has been the hardest part about this project. I've spent many late nights out in the garage after the kids go to bed. Just turn on some tunes and go to work.

Beautiful car. Looks great.

Awesome car, I would love to do a build from the ground up like this one day. Excited to see finished results.

Hey guys, I've been working on this project for what seems like forever now and am just about finished up with it. Figured I'd throw some pics up and share my project. I took an auto body class and did a new paint job on my mustang. I started way back in late August of last year and have...

Or it's because the exact same post can be found here from yesterday. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/79813-help-my-first-kit-confused.html

^^^^This^^^^ I too am just getting into this and I had/have the same overwhelming feelings you do. But I watched just about every one of mikes videos and it really helped. I bought the porter cable with 5.5" pads and dove into the meguiars products. The porter cable is very user friendly. Good luck.

Atleast she's got good taste in cars, but then again its sad to see a stang being treated like that.

:welcome: and :thankyousign: for your service

I've never used them but I'd dare say that craftsman is a pretty good brand. And 4 gauge will be plenty big for your vehicle.

Have you tried claying it?

I also just got one of these a few weeks ago. I haven't had the chance to use it yet but I was telling my sister about it and she went out and bought one the next day. She says she can't put it down it works so good. She has just about cleaned every surface in her house with it. I'm looking...

Man, looks like you could get lost in a sea of passionate succulent comfyness every time you sit on that seat cover. And i can only hope that my black paint will look as good as that one day. Very well done.

I don't think it should be a problem at all. As a lot of things are wet sanded and buffed the day after being painted. I am in the process of doing this exact thing on my new fiberglass hood. It was painted maybe 2 months ago. I just got done wet sanding it yesterday and hopefully be buffing on...

I just recently started using my leaf blower for drying after I joined this forum. I love eliminating all of those drips before they even have a chance to drip.
