Mike, Kevin Linkhorst checking back in, class of January 2012. I should be in Stuart on Thursday afternoon and ready to go. I'm honored and thanks again for the invite.

Mike, just checking back in letting you know my name is Kevin Linkhorst going by Link. I attended your class in 2012 after having double hernia surgery, and have pretty much done away with my rotary buffer after attending the class. Letting you know I will be leaving Pennsylvania early Wednesday...

Mike I would be honored to also take part. I really enjoyed meeting you and taking part in your detail class. Thanks for the invite I will be there for Friday in Stuart Florida to participate and also for the detail festival. I look forward to seeing you again.

Hard to see in photos , but are marking in the clear or in the paint underneath. Almost looks like the base was sanded before the clear went on.

Fairly new to AG but did attend Mr. Phillip's Boot Camp in Feburary. Thanks Mike I did learn alot. Great class. My question is I am working on a 2000 Audi 4S, client brought the car to me for hood repaint and dent repair to trunk and repaint there also. I have finished repair and paint and was...

May want to wash ,everything around it , with baking soda to neutralize the acid before starting.

Pretty much a newbe but have been in the market to purchase a steamer to detail my vehicles. Wife says no price range as long as I can complete her honeydo list around the house such as the carpets , tile floor in the kitchen etc. I have narrowed my search to a few steamers on the market. I'm...

Welcome from Tamaqua, Pa. Drive through Hatfield a lot, as step daughter goes to Bryn Athyn college.

Is this a powder coat? Looks like it. What about body work. Back to the dealer.$$$ Dents and dings? Back to the dealer$$$ IMO

Welcome from Tamaqua,Pa. Newb here too. Great sight.

Note on PPG -DP primer, around 7 years ago PPG was forced to remove lead from this product. This was due to government regulations. Since then it is LFDP. I have used the old DP for 20+ years and never had a problem with rust thru from the back side and never had any paint lifting problems and I...

Dave, the way I've been taught a PPG training and the way I've been doing it for years - strip to bare metal, do all dent and other repairs- all ruff body work- I use a STINGER to put out all small dents. Next,prime with DP Epoxy Primer. All body filler is then put over top of that, NOT over the...

New-B here too, with detailing, but not auto body. Just some advice, watch what you're doing with your primer, know you said Cheap,but this is your foundation. Use a good epoxy primer over bare metal,or you'll have rust forming under it,as cheap primer may not be water proof. Something I learned...

Sorry for the late reply, house full of company over the weekend,you mentioned a Rust-olem product, anything Rust-olem I feel should work well as long as it is a two part system. it needs, to have a hardner with it ,not single stage. most important to me is it should be water proof, you don't...

Latex- alcohol

Rolling tape or back taping means, having the tape already on your paper - I have a paper machine that puts the tape right on the paper- or put tape on edge of newspaper, you won't be laying that much clear to worry about having auto body-paper, put the tape edge where you want to end your seam...

New on AG. Don't want to bust your bubble, but from what I can see on the first pic, is the clear is way to gone. It's true , to do it right the whole panel should be cleared. If attempting to blend, try rolling back your tape edges and only blowing a little clear into the rolled edge. Also,on...

Rust SUCKS!! If this rust is in the DOG LEG, it most likely came thur from the back side, most likely from fine dirt laying in the joint where the inner body panels meet. Can't really tell from pic because working from I-phone. First, if I am right , you need to wash all dirt out from front and...

New on AG, but been doing auto body and restoration work for years. Certified with PPG. Anything I can help with?

I use a lot of PPG products , I know they make a aluminum cleaner and aluminum prep to be used before clear-coat. Check if any of your local parts stores carry PPG.
