    Help n00b with 1st order and process!

    jeep paints are hard and subaru paint is soft, so you will need a bit of variety when it comes to your compounds and polishes, i used optimum compound 2 and polish 2 on my jeep, great results. farecla fast track universal compound and g10 swirl remover (its a fine polish) also worked very well...

    Gunpowder stain removal?

    like i said if it is firearms related, its clp or oil and carbon/powder residue, get a gallon of zep citrus to start, spray it, then lightly brush with a soft bristle brush, then extract...then repeat. if it is coming off on your bare hand then it will clean up no problem, it may just take a...

    Newbie Startup Questions

    go on youtube and wach all of junkmans videos, the channel name is junkman2000, i would say set aside a weekend here or there and do the vehicle bit by bit, (do the hood one weekend, fenders the next, etc...) each section you do you should do completely: wash, clay, polish, seal...as far as...

    Gunpowder stain removal?

    thats not powder then its probably a a mixture of clp and powder residue, (a lot of guys will do a quick field lube on the rifle using clp before leaving the range, it works to break up the residue as it sits on there and when you get home it makes cleaning a hell of a lot easier, but a lot of...

    How steep is the learning curve with a Flex?

    i just tested mine out (after reading through the manual and lubing the felt ring) on the lid to my tool box, i wasn't looking for insane results, just getting a feel for the tool. i used an orange compounding pad from harbor freight (6.5") and some UC and after a few passes the top of the box...

    Foam Gun Conversion to Cannon?

    the brass fittings in a foam gun are not rated for high pressure (i wouldnt go past 120psi) where as the fittings in a foam cannon are rated for very high pressure (upwards of 2000 psi) but hey if you have the skill to pick chunks of brass out of yourself, by all means don't let us stop you.

    How steep is the learning curve with a Flex?

    ugh i just can't wait to try mine out, i compounded the hood and fenders on my dad's 2002 f-350 with the 7424xp and although they came out decent (using ultimate compound) i want to see how they will look with some farecla fast track or g10 on a polishing pad with the flex.

    Maintaining clean tires.

    use car wash shampoo and water to maintain your wheels and tires, you will eventually need to reclean the tires with a tire cleaner or degreaser but the wheels can be maintained just fine with your routine car wash shampoo

    ksg fortified qd?

    i think it was klasseact who posted it but i remember seeing a while ago someone said that they add KSG to a QD in order to add some protection to the paint (almost the same idea of using polycharger) ive been thinking about mixing up ONR as a qd and adding some KSG to the mix, or possibly...
