I started with a 300 baud modem using an acoustic coupler on Coco-1 computer ;) At that time the Internet was years away. We were using BBS (bulletin board systems) ran by individuals on their personal computers. Things have evolved quite a bit since then ;)

I know, was just teasing you. You mentioned in one of the posts that you set it that way to show time taken.

Undercooking burgers is very dangerous unless it was fresh steak that was shreaded. For steaks, you usually have more taste if the meat is not cooked through. I usually like mine medium, but that is really a matter of taste.

Yes, a ton of amazing looking cars there. Did you guys see the prototype for the first air bag? LOL Thanks for the compliments Mike. I took photography as a hobby this summer. This was my 5th photoshoot. As a matter of fact I am waiting on a new camera that I should be getting tomorrow...

Regarding the batteries. Is there a standard for that or do each tool use a battery designed only for it? I only have 1 battery powered tool and it's a drill. Black and Decker to be more precise. Do the batteries from that fit on a Flex polisher?

They should have made a charger that can do 2 batteries at the same time. Lithium-Ion batteries wear faster when: You charge them over 70% or drain them bellow 30%. So the ideal situation is to charge them to 70% and stop working them when they have 30% charge left. With 3 batteries it would...

We are working Mike, it's summer ;) You are really tempting me to buy one of those cordless beast ;)

Those B&S pads look identical to the Lake Country HDO once. They the two companies merge? If they are really different, how would you compare them?

Starting work at noon Mike? Are you a banker? :) Have fun with this one, I noticed you posted a gazillion pictures, gonna go through them now ;)

Hey guys, I went to the biggest car show here in Quebec. The show has over 3000 cars and 30,000 visitors. I took a bunch of pictures, here are some of the cars I really liked. You can use the link to see them on my facebook page: OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA - Esthetique Auto Montreal Car...

If you are anything like me, you will not like anyone helping you ;) I am way too focused on how to do things, I would try to micromanage the poor guy to death LOL

Only way I have found to show road film is on white paint. When you clean and decontaminate white paint, the before and after are quite revealing. Some of my clients have said to me they did not understand how I can make their white paint so white ;) Well, when you normally go to a car wash...

Wow, glad you are ok! So what have you detailed in the hospital room so far? I bet you dressed the bed, didn't you? :)

If you have a DIY personality, you will not be happy with someone else doing it ;) The real question is: Do you want to spend the time to learn, and do you mind spending about a 1000$ to tool up? If you answer yes to both, then go for it. If not, just leave expectations at the door and...

Chocolate cake: Yuk! Just kidding! Love chocolate cake!

If you use microfiber it's better to prime. You want all the strands of fibers to be able to do some work. On foam, as I was mentionning to Mike... I am not convinced it is a good idea...

You need to put enough pressure for the abrasives to engage the paint. With no pressure the polisher is just floating on the panel not doing much. There is a sweet spot where you are putting just enough pressure to engage the abrasives but not enough to slow down the rotation. 15 pounds is...

You touched on items I forgot to mention ;) I think that once the pad is full of product, using pea size drops (4 of them for me) is ok. But to start a dry pad, it's definatelly not enough product. What is your view on priming the pad Mike? I am on the fence. I have primed and not primed...

If the paint is soft, it explains how damaged it was. I have seen a lot of those trashed paint working for a dealership. Good work, you brought it back to life!

Tool: With a 8 mm DA, you will need to take your time. You need to move the polisher very slowly, about 1 inch per second max. You also need to put pressure on the pad, about 15 pounds worth. If you are not sure how much pressure that is, put the polisher on a balance and push down until it...
