I'm pretty new to the PC DA, but my experience is that it is much easier to get pad stall when going over strongly curved surfaces. On relatively flat surfaces, it takes much more pressure to stall the pad. Could just be my technique as I'm stll learning, but Ive managed to do fine on curves...

Mike, THANK YOU big time. I just shot an entire set of front end pieces for a '75 Landcruiser. I used PPG Deltron Concept 2042 for the clear. Although I got a beautiful gloss, I also got more orange peel than I can tolerate. This isn't a show car, but I'm eager to try this technique to...

I recycled the white 5 gal buckets from Kelly-Moore latex paint when I painted my house. I put Gamma sealing, twist-on lids on them from HD and just got a couple of grid guards. This setup is great and I can stack the buckets and keep the insides clean between washes. Used a sharpie to...

Great Job !! The pics and process documentation are excellent as well. That red paint is absolutely gleaming now and will be easy to spot by the CHP :xyxthumbs:

Guys, Thanks again ! You guys rock. Rick (with a D, not an R, but the forum bleeps me.)

Really like this description of arm speed. Excellent advice and makes a significant difference that can be seen visually in short order.

Thanks all for the advice. Looks like I should go to M205, followed by an IPA wipe down prior to the Klasse HGSG. I'm a fan of preserving paint thickness (especially OEM paint) and wanted to skip un-necessary polishing or chemical stripping if possible.

I picked up a PC 7346 (non SP). It came with a H&L backing plate for sanding and had the 6" counterweight and was the only thing locally available to me. Since I was going to swap backing plates out for Lake Country pads, I didn't care what came stock on the unit. (I also don't think much of...

Relatively new guy here. This 2009 Scion has spent the last 3 years completely outdoors in the CA central valley. Parched, dusty, swirled like all get out from the gas station car wash. I was sick when my college son brought it home. It also had some nasty bird signatures, eucalyptus tree oil...

I used to love AA for the oversize tires on my GMC PU. That was until I had two major failures on sidewall cracking on some BFG 33 x 12.50s. The tire dealer said that AA was a major contributor to the failures due to excessive silicone. They replaced the tires, but I never went back to AA...

Beautiful work and cool shop! That red is spectacular. I love PPG Deltron DBU but it's been banned in im area for VOC. I haven't yet learned to use the water base coatings.

Chevota Guy...........Rick with a D, not an R, but the forum bleeps me. Thanks for asking Mike!
