    Iridescent Pearl Tricoat Paint Repair

    In the late nineties, GM had a bad problem with this iridescent pearl Tricoat paint. It would peel like that and continue to get worse with age. It was especially prevalent at the edges of panels, hoods and roofs where it starts its peeling. It would just keep coming off in rubbery-like strips...

    1973 Lotus Europa oxidized original paint

    Mike, Thanks for posting his photos. Looks like it came out fairly well. I’m surprised you didn’t tell him to use CleanBright Liquid Ebony on it ;)

    1973 Lotus Europa oxidized original paint

    I would really like to see photographs as they would provide a better means of helping you. In high school, our neighbor had a Europa and I would taking a running jump over the roof of it going to school.

    Washing and cleaning Compound and Polish Self-Cleaning Caps

    Re: Washing and cleaning RUPES Compound Caps Depends on the tank size of the ultrasonic. I should be able to clean forty in mine, but I don't have forty caps to try. (I have a lab grade ultrasonic.) Also, I can see your solution working best with a top loader washer versus a front loader. A...

    Washing and cleaning Compound and Polish Self-Cleaning Caps

    Re: Washing and cleaning RUPES Compound Caps An ultrasonic cleaner will make short work of cleaning these caps as well.

    technique vs tool selection

    There’s an issue with your thesis as the $400+ orbital polishers are purpose-built for a smaller customer base. Therefor, economies of scale come into play. Yes, anyone can visit a big box home improvement store and walk away with a power drill, but you will not see Flex or Rupes orbitals on...

    Favorite beer, if not a beer drinker, favorite beverage in general.

    I drink only on occasion, but when I do it's Russian Imperial Stout.

    2008 Jaguar XF Supercharged

    This Jaguar looks like it got into a fight with another big cat and lost. I truly enjoy this thread and its demonstration of correction. Great job!

    Sticky/Tacky Steering Wheel, Arm Rest and Door Cards

    Go to the 17:26 min mark. I found this video from a member on a 370Z forum where they are encountering sticky dashes.

    Best dressing for engine bay?

    Because of the this thread I've purchased some Sonus Trim & Motor Kote and I want to apply it in the next couple of days. My question is whether I should transfer the contents into a Kwazar Mercury Pro bottle for better atomization or use the included, but not installed, sprayer head that...

    I use the tornado and I recover door vinyls

    He's shown a before and after photograph above of how he used the Tornado to clean-up a door panel. There's a bit of "lost in translation" as he's using the word "recover" to mean "clean".

    Car wash soap stained PPF

    I know some bug guts can temporarily stain PPF for up to two weeks, so maybe there was something in the carwash chemical that is similar and that the stain will disappear over time. However, I would post at (I hope this link is not prohibited here): Paint Protection Film, Clear Bra Forum -...

    Disappointing getting shipped old stock

    Is the forum the place to discuss this when they've already said to contact them in a reply above? Better yet, why didn’t you contact them first before posting? I don't believe that Autogeek has at the heart of their business model to screw customers—just the opposite.

    FLEX Hybrid Polishers?

    FLEX could potentially offer this as an accessory in the future (provided the engineering of the production model allows for such an accessory). I think it would be an accessory well worth it.

    FLEX Hybrid Polishers?

    With FLEX about to release their new cordless orbital and rotary polishers it's too bad they didn’t go the Festool route and provide a cord/cordless hybrid solution where in place of the battery pack goes a transformer and cord so you can run the polisher either way. Missed opportunity?

    NEW FLEX Cordless Polishers debuted at SEMA!

    Re: NEX FLEX Cordless Polishers! Is there a soft rubber bumper that comes with the tool to cover the battery pack to help prevent accidental damage of the battery pack upon hitting or touching a vehicle's surface or is this as an accessory? Thanks.
