I've got just enough room to make a "detail cave" ! Boy is the wife going to be surprised when she finds out she is donating her parking spot in the shed !!

I am wanting to build a room in my shed to detail cars, what would be the optimum lighting scheme to use overhead ? Would you just use fluorescent fixtures, or is there a better way ? Thanks for the input... Red G

Re: First viewing of Completion Ready Wet sanding is how I got started detailing and buying supplies at AG. My 64 Galaxie had just been repainted and it was a terrible paint job,lot of orange peel,etc. I watched with Mike in the 1969 AMX Wetsanding Videos and followed it step by step and...

Re: First viewing of Completion Ready Mike, You are 100% correct about the positive and negative feedback and I would like to apologize for the feedback I left. My comment was not concerning you or your comrades, it was more the way it was all more scripted than any show or video I've seen...

I just went outside and turned the hood towards the Sun and the right hand side panel that I used the rotary buffer on had Holograms but the first side did not. What is it that a person does wrong to create these lines or Holograms?

Thanks for the advice Puckman

Re: First viewing of Completion Ready I'm with the rest of you, I watched 2 episodes and was disappointed.It reminded me of a bunch of super heroes...Commissioner Gordon gets the phone call, they go to the Bat Cave to discuss the plan, and then the Justice League including Wonder Woman saves...

I've had my 3401 for a couple of years now and I have been using the LC CCS orange,white, and black pads with Menzerna products.

I found some scratches on the hood of my 2015 Fusion,so I broke out the PC 7424XP put on a LC 6.5 orange smart pad and I used Menzerna 400. I did about 5 or 6 passes with pressure but the scratches were still there. So took off the the orange pad and put it on my Flex 3401,used the Menz 400...

Very,very true MIsnowman ...I've mostly buffed aluminum car trim,tanks and stainless car trim. I'll share this, when I do aluminum that has light scratching I'll start with 220 grit or 400 grit depending how bad scratches are,always sanding in a cross hatch pattern, first this direction //////...

I do have a Porter Cable DA and I have the Flex 3401 machine. I do not have a particular wax or sealant,I'm looking at, but it seems a lot of people use the Menzurna sealant. I don't always have a lot of time to look around here on the forum,so I was just curious what pads to use when waxing and...

That is what I use. I've been using the orange pads and Menzerna 1500 for the light scratches on my dark vehicles.
