If so this is what I did to bring red color back to life after neglect. my Cobalt 242 to remove heavy oxidation after 5 years of ignoring it other than keeping it clean and waxing.

    Some coatings I have used...

    Great idea. You can have a sign to the man cave saying, “Hang your Coating here” next to the shelf. I have used 5 different coatings and do like the GTech’s the most (ease of use and upkeep)

    Back into the RC buggy hobby.

    Coating high spots...oops

    Nice recovery. Yes, bright lights hide the high spots. For my next job I am actually going to use my big softboxes that illuminate a diffuse light. I used these during my wedding photography days ( did 20 to 30 a year part time)

    Speed Master Utility Cart Review

    Too bad the cart doesn’t last. Two legs on my cart have developed cracks ( a reviewer also posted images) after a year and I don’t wheel it around much. I tried posting a review but I guessAG didn’t like the negative comments. I did put a couple screws the legs and tray to hold it together...
