Actually that’s exactly what I did. I was in the middle of organizing the garage when I found out the news, so I finished up then got the power washer out and started cleaning my truck. That lead to doing the interior as well. Now I’ll always think of him when working in the garage. Sent...

Mike, It’s been a tough weekend for me with the loss of my uncle who started me down my detailing path. In my grieving yesterday I washed and did a interior spring cleaning. Since finding out about Autogeek back in 2013, you have been a valuable resource in expanding my skills and tool kit (I...

Sorry I haven’t been around much. With the new house and getting the garage organized, it’s been taking up my time. Being in MN it’s tough to wash your truck at home in the middle of the winter so I’ve been going to the touchless car wash after each snow. I wasn’t really planning on washing...

It’s not as hard as my F150 was. I was able to correct it with the Keramik yellow polish and yellow pad. I’ll qualify that statement with the fact that I was using my pc on the ford and it took compounding with menzerna I’ll be interested to hear what you think of the paint Make sure you...

Yes that’s the color! I swear it changes color depending on the day. I’ve gotten so many complements on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So as I said this was the first time I have worked with a coating other than Marine31. I just poured a bit of water on my hood and I was blown away at how quickly the water sheeted off I have just enough left to coat my jetski. I can’t wait! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I finally got a chance to detail my new truck (bought new in 2018). It’s amazing how buying a new house can take up your weekends. I knew that I would be detailing the truck so I have avoided soft touch and tunnel washes since I got it. However living in Minnesota I use touch less washes in...

How long did it take to do the gmc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you blow out pads with a compressor are you using an oil free compressor or a some kind of filter? I’m assuming you do not want to be blowing oil into your pad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked with Carpro USA and they confirmed I should be ok. Thanks all for the responses! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I made a big mistake. I ordered Carpro UK3.0 last year, and life got in the way. I am planning on costing my 2018 GMC Sierra this fall. I have two concerns about the Carpro bottle (in the plastic wrap) 1. I pulled the Carpro box out and it looks like it’s set to expire soon. 2. It was...

Yes there are two P51s and a p-38 lightning, a few P-40s, a wildcat and a Corsair. That’s not the whole list either. Also they purchased a German rail box car that was used move prisoners and brought it to the museum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Mike Looks like the link didn’t work Luckily I do have a porter cable as well! What metal polish would you recommend that can be applied by machine? My friend has a World War II aircraft museum up here in Minnesota. Here’s a few more from their collection If your ever up in...

There are a couple of planes. I was asking about #7 as a more general question. Both plans are very well cared for without oxidation. The first is an extra 300 L that has light swirls. I’m thinking my new RUPES 15 m3 with a white pad and ultra fine polish should do the trick. The other one...

Would this technique work on aircraft paint to remove oxidation? Also could you do an ipa wipe after the polishing step, then apply a coating? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone Management (aka my wife) has approved the purchase of an air compressor. I’d like to be able to use it for double duty (house projects and for detailing) Looking for recommendations. Max budget would be around $500 Thanks Jeremy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have read a couple of different things regarding gloss enhancer’s cure time. 1. Wait 1 hour then coat 2. Let it cure for 12 hours before coating Does anyone have experience with curing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking about that. My plan is to use the Rupes line as a system (pads, compounds, polished, etc), then put the 3 inch backing plate on the PC for those hard to reach places using my LC 4 inch pads. This bring up another question. Can I use the carpro pads with the Rupes? My plan was to...

Hi everyone, I’m going to paint correct then apply UK 3.0 to my new truck I’m putting together an order ( I’m pulling the trigger and upgrading to a Rupes 15 mark III). I’m wondering if I should add gloss enhancer and a few gloss pads (for use with my PC). It’s wanted to get some thoughts on...
