So am I! I must have just missed you

Great question - I have been wondering the same. I intend to find out here pretty quick, if no one has any feedback. Thanks for that pic of your cart. I dig that brush hook setup!

Here's what it looked like - I included a "before" shot from a couple days before sitting in the same spot. See how the car has a "matte" look in the dew pic? The car was almost glowing - it was a cool effect. The kids were oohing and aahing - it was funny. I have marveled over beading before...

That is one tall firewall! Cadillac body?

I walked outside yesterday morning and the kids and I noticed a really cool "matte" look/effect caused by microbeading of the morning dew on the red and black cars I had treated with Hyrdo2. It was especially noticeable on the red car. I got a pic with my phone I'll have to upload, but here is...

OTS - I'm doing all my cars with HydroFoam or Hydro2 now and I am pleased with the results. It has greatly aided in my drying time and satisfaction on cleaning daily drivers. In rare circumstances where I need a towel, I break out the MM DMC. Between the Sidekick and that towel, plus shade, I...

64 = split window. Sweet! Another black car in the lineup - I'm liking all the black and red!!

I'm really looking forward to this lineup, Mike! My Jet Black E39 M5 is taped and ready and will be waiting when I get home for a full correction using my newly honed skills. Good stuff!

I use my sidekick for drying the entire vehicle after Hydro2 and it works great! I use an extension cord and a 6' hose. I hold the sidekick in my left hand and run the hose behind my back to my right hand to dry from the roof down. Works well - full size suv takes 10 min tops at a leisurely pace...

Great work! I have an Aztec Red 91 with 18" Integrals. Had it since 95 - love these cars!

What I did was build a form template in Excel that I fill out based on a paper form I use when working on the car. I input the pertinent data in the form and it goes into rows/columns in other spreadsheets that I can then query and report on later. You can start by just building a simple...

I agree that Corey's service is second to none. Fast, consistent, personal and don't get me started on the products themselves. Having bought Car-Pro products from both AG and Corey in the last few months I have to say I have had great service from both in receiving them. Not saying that AG...

Great read and a great story. Thanks for sharing that! It's refreshing to see this kind of thing instead of the egos and ridiculousness so prevalent on forums.

Additional excuses for my slow taping: I'm also working on documenting the before/after meter readings on the paint not only for my own archive on the car but also to make a template of a document for maintenance cars moving forward. I like the idea of a history of the cars I work on, no matter...

Thanks everyone especially Mike for the detailed and helpful feedback. Mike, I think you are spot on that painters have it down; I've seen them work and it is amazing. I can lay a straight line, but the curves are challenging, and I also ran into adhesion issues with the super thin green 3m body...

I'm interested in feedback on taping techniques and process when preparing to correct a car, particularly time saving tips, product recommendations and technical insight on challenges (weather/humidity/time effects, shelf life of tape, how much you actually use on typical coupes/sedans, certain...

Re: Next 3-Day Boot Camp Class - January 22nd, 23rd & 24th Thanks for the reminder! Just left Nick a message, looking forward to coming! :buffing: -Mike

Congrats! Mine first was last month!

I live in Austin and love Datsun/Nissan Z cars

I'm curious what the dedicated uses are for those of you who have "specialty" setups. For example, I have: HF DA with a rotary extension and 3" plate for smaller areas 3401 with a 4 3/8" for 5" LC hybrids (primary machine, love it!) 3401 with the original plate for 6.5" hybrids for large panels...
