LOL well I don't think I'd call the wedding bit fun. It's more of one of those "family obligations" in this case. At least other than that it will actually be a pretty laid back weekend. Hey I might even get closer to getting those pics done lol. I think I'm about 2/3's to 3/4 of the way...

So what was your Pro take on the matte textured finished tops? Is it really a textured paint like I was thinking or is it just some sort of dye or something on the outside? I know the inside is white fiberglass and when the black gets scratched it shows white. Just trying to figure out the...

Nice, what size tire did you go with? Oh and yep definitely replace that spare. I put 265/70/17 versions of those Duratracs on my stock wheels, but still need to replace the spare so I covered it with a tire cover for now lol. I still have a couple 1000 miles to do it though before the spare...

Wow that's pretty good for 93, we don't even get that for regular around here. The "grocery store" gas station where I usually get gas when I'm being cheap was 3.95 all weekend through Tuesday night for 87 and had been going down from it's previous prices so I held off one more day thinking...

Happy Friday all. So, this weekend, if all goes well with the forecast past next weekend (will know around midnight when it updates) the hard top comes off the Jeep tomorrow morning for the summer :) Got my storage dolly built and ready to go and picked up a tarp to keep it covered (will be...

When I say textured black paint, I don't mean like the shiny stuff normally on vehicle bodywork, it's a very matte finish (as you might be able to see in my avatar I'm not sure). My impression at least was that it was a paint of some kind, but I did say I was only 95% sure, that's a lot of...

The towel should be just fine, I did the CD scratch test with mine and couldn't detect any issues from it.

I set it up mostly to follow a few websites/businesses, but I do plan to eventually use it. I'm on there as FlyinionFilms and my eventual plan was to start recording and uploading video game recordings to my website again and Tweet about it when I did. Just hasn't gotten off the ground yet due...

So uh, I don't know about the 2000 TJ's, but the 07 and up (well for sure the 11-12's) hard top is NOT, I repeat NOT, textured plastic. If you do not have a body color matched top, then it is a textured black PAINT (95% sure on this). I've been using the Wolfgang DG Spritz for lack of having a...

I think it's a case of you just have to follow the directions for the individual product. I find the write-up on AG's product page tends to have a lot more of that critical info (like the 12 hour cure time on DGPS) than the bottle itself. I have heard that there are sealants that require much...

LOL since I've usually been buffing for hours non-stop for polishing then applying the sealant, I usually go take a 30 minute break at that point. Come back and start wiping off where I started applying so by the time I get to the end the last panels have had an extra 10-15 minutes of cure time.

Hmmm, not too bad. I don't think there was really anything horribly wrong in it. I'm not sure what the heck that thing was that was pictured on the polishing page though. Looked like an orbital palm sander to me, but I do seem to remember Mike doing an article where he used a pneumatic...

Happy Friday everyone. For once I really don't have much going on. I'm going over to my Dad's tomorrow so I can use some of his woodworking stuff like his table saw so I can build a DIY storage dolly for my hard top. It's supposedly like an hour project according to the guys that have built...

If it hasn't peeled off, then you still have clearcoat, though the color underneath might be a bit faded from UV or just look like it from oxidation. As far as water spots on the hood with new paint, again it could be the paint isn't prepped because of the buffer issue, or (and this is just an...

2 problems going on here. First, if the clear coat is shot, then yeah nothing short of a re-paint is really going to help it. Second is that the 10" buffer is just a wax spreader. It's just not capable of actually polishing the surface and getting it ready for sealant. This explains why your...

If you don't already have the APC+ I'd say go for the OPC. This is just based on my experience of only having used OPC however, but it's worked great for everything I've used it for. I use it at 3:1 (water : opc) for engines, wheels, and tires, and I use 10:1 for interior most of the time. I...

Congrats on the title!! Mine's going pretty good too. Got my Jeep mostly done. Just waiting for the DGPS to cure overnight then a coat or two of SS II tomorrow morning. I have to say I'm quite happy with how that's going. The 350Z used to be a 10-12 hour job all total. It took me about 5...

OH NO, I've been doing it wrong!! Apparently I need to throw out all my microfiber "rags" and go buy some new ones. Apparently they only last 4-5 washes and then they "lose their static" and "don't work like they're supposed to" anymore. :doh::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

LOL I know I was like "whoo hoo I get a weekend off" :) (note that I did NOT actually say that out loud). Yeah I haven't even actually ever used the finishing glaze. On the silver Z is wasn't noticeable and I'd already needed to use TSR on it which finishes down well enough for the silver...

Happy Friday all. For once, I have nothing major going on for a weekend lol. The GF is working Sat/Sun and we might do some BBQ and wine or something on Monday just for us. I'm thinking of doing a full polish/seal/wax job on the Jeep Sat/Sun but that's not really that much work I think...
