Had to get ready for a car show this last weekend and decided to give the XMT 360 a try. My cars paint is relatively new, only about 3 or 4 months old, but it had collected a decent amount of light swirls from the weekly washings and whatnot. Needless to say, I was absolutely astounded at the...

Paintwork cleansing lotion, that I will give a try. Any specific pads that should be used with that stuff? I've got the Porter Cable buffer with a white and an orange pad, would either of those be fine? I appreciate the help, heres a nannerIm the MAN

After a six month stint in the shop, my car is back in my hands and has a whole new paint scheme. I washed it for the first time with my Foamaster gun a couple weeks ago, and it worked great! Come to find out though that my drying cloths I had been using decided not to do their job that well, I...

Would Pinnacle Crystal Mist be okay to use every now and then? Thats actually what I was thinking of doing after I washed it yesterday.

Actually, the chin spoiler does not sit NEARLY as low as the bumper I used to have on their did. It was a Cervinis bumper, and I had to get it repainted 3 times because of curbs and road construction. So its actually a relief to have a little more ground clearance! Although I do have to watch...

Wow thanks for the replies! I actually only got one update that there was a reply to this thread:confused: Alrighty, so 3 months it is! No problem there though, I got the chance to use my Foamaster Gun today and that was worthy of a cigarette afterwards, and I don't even smoke! So it would...

Wytstang, love the avatar:applause: No 3M paint on this car, Dupont all the way! I know to at least wait a week before putting anything on the car, thats what I did the first time. Though he did not paint the ENTIRE car then either. I'll check with him and see what he suggests. Still open to...

Wrecked my car about 6 months ago, and got the exterior of it totally redone while it was being rebuilt. The entire car is now a spectacular mirror finish. What can I do to help keep the paint looking spectacular? I have some Wolfgang paint sealer that I bought and never had the chance to use...

Oh don't get me wrong, I am very happy with the kit that I got:righton: After messing around with it a couple times, I got the hang of what I needed to do. My only concern now is the areas of the car that the buffer is too big to get to.

I'm using the one that came with the kit, the orange cutting pad, but have some microfiber applicator pads that I was thinking of trying...

Regarding the swirl remover, how would I go about applying it to areas that the buffer cannot reach? There are some small areas that need touching up, would it be feasible to use an applicator pad?

Rock on, thanks for the help!

I finished using the swirl remover this morning, I wish I had started on this last week because if I had more time, man the paint would look flawless! But I am very happy with the way it looks right now. Now I am working on the finishing polish, but wanted to know if it would be safe to give the...

I just pulled my car out into the sun, and changed my mind:awesome: I'm going to do my best to finish it before the car show on Saturday. Its just mind boggling how long it takes to do this! And I still have to do the finishing polish, wax and paint sealant. Maybe I should start waking up...

So I ordered the Pinnacle Twins kit amongst other things, and never before have I encountered a more time consuming task. This is the very first time that I have ever used a buffer, so starting yesterday I began working with it, and today I think I got the hang of it. Well, using it on the hood...

The process began today:righton: I finally got my Explorer running so I can now drive it instead of my car everyday, and took advantage of the good weather by giving the Mustang a nice wash. However, I am disgusted with the amount of bug death marks that have remained on the front end. OH and I...

Thanks! All the pictures of the car in one piece are after the wreck. I hate the fact that I have no pictures of it before I destroyed it, before the wheels, louvers, and bumper. Its nice having someting to look back on every now and then:p But to quote my body guy "wrecking this thing's the...

I guess thats what happens when you drink and post:cheers: Actually, I don't drink, so I have no idea what my excuse is:( Link is fixed though!

I am going to snap some before and after pictures. But I do have these http://forums.stangnet.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1194 which were taken the day I picked it up from getting fixed.

WOW. Got my wonderful box-o-goodies the other day, and was blown away! Everything was packaged exceptionally, and they even sent me a free bottle of foam pad applicator cleaner:righton: The other thing that made me feel warm and fuzzy was upon opening the Souveran Wax, I discovered it comes in...
