Def watch the vids and I just tried the XMT stuff also. Take your time and dont rush seems to be the best advice.

If I ever found out someone took change from my car, I would never use them again if I was a customer. Slippery slope you are heading down if you have to ask IMO. I would think most would just give it back to you if you bagged it and gave it to them. Not worth the loss in the jobs and referrals.

Pine tree "flowers" (dont know the real name): the male part of the pine that releases pollen looks like this around here. They are usually on the end of a branch and when on the tree you can tap them and they release a TON of pollen. They can have sap and oils in them and maybe that is what...

It might be cheaper to go to a shop for a one time only but if you really want to you could do the car once and then resell the PC and chemicals and make back a bunch of your money. You will only have your time and a little bit of depreciation factored into the cost of the polish. Hovever when...

Some say oxyclean is not a "chemical" that can hurt stuff but my wife tried using it a few years ago on a spot in the rug of her SUV and put too much on. About a few weeks later, the rug fibers pulled out like they had disintregated at the base! I know she used too much but I wont use that...

wow, seems like she got a bargain. Dont underprice the work you do. How long did it take BTW?

Be careful with polish near the black crinkle of the fins on the jugs of the motor and other places. The HD crinkle is notorious for getting and holding on to white marks. Harleys have little to no chrome plated plastic Dont worry about water, they are pretty water resistant. Went for 2...

Going to try XMT3 and the orange pad on 6 next after my order from AG gets in. Thanks for the advice

limited knowledge here but orange peel is a modern paint "byproduct" and can't be resolved by a polisher.

Used the wolfgang 5.5 orange pad that came as a bonus with my PC and the CCS pad "kit" A timer is next but I know I worked it for at least 3 minutes, I try and put enough pressure on the pad untill it stops rotating and then let up from there so the pad rotates again and continue working...

During the weekend I used XMT2 on my lazer red Mustang. The car had a ton of swirls on the hood and I was looking to get rid of them. Worked the hood in 4 parts, 4 small blobs on the pad each section. Worked it until I THOUGHT that it had broken down based upon it turning clear. Used speed 5...

First wash of my Cobra after I got it was in the rain, thought I was the only nut ,lol

Is the yellow stuff from a couple of years ago in the Mothers kit the yellow "good" clay? I figure the new stuff isnt the same but what about maybe two years ago?

Havent used the pinnacle lube but spray goes a long way, I cant see a normal person just doing their own cars going through a gallon for a long time. Think of spraying on some water to a surface to make it wet and keeping an area like that. That is how much you use per area. A spray bottle...

Remember this as the first car I saw a pic of with the digital speedo at 155!!! Nice detail btw, especially the striping on the doors

The hood blanket is a synthetic "felt" like material. After they are water or oil stained they NEVER look right again. For mine I can not get another as they dont make them anymore :( Some have tried painting them with varying success. Hard part with Ford is that some hoods have no paint...

The ones I used were the ones that came with my PC kit, so they weren't the top of the line ones but were incredible anyways. Walked thru wallyworld and found a "car drying" MF and the feel was no comparison to the smaller ones I have. UGH!! more money spent (trying to convinvce myself that the...

Mine when using it isnt loud at all to me. Maybe using a leafblower and a 2 stroke string trimmer spoiled me for the PC???? Either that or the Harley with straight pipes maybe?

lol thanks on compliments on the pic. The hood does look good and cant wait to do the rest of the car now. Think I am going to buy some XMT 3 for the deeper swirls and scratches and some decent wax also. As for the door, it is an optical ilusion, that is actually a 112" wide hinged door...

I had recieved the PC kit with the CCs pads and I worked on my wife's hood today. The first two MF towels I used to remove the detail spray from using clay were just generic MF from wallyworld. After starting to use the PC I grabbed the Cobra MF that came with the kit and began to use it...
