I know AG doesn't have a for sale section, so I thought I would throw this up here. Bought it so I could knock cars out faster, however with my new baby I haven't had a chance to do anything and its just taking up space. Still practically brand new in the box. Maybe 5 hours on it total. I have a...
Mike,
After reading through article after article about vinyl care on here and MOL there is really no defined answer as how to care for matte black vinyl. I worked on a 99 Viper this past weekend that had Le'Mans style stripes down the center of the car that were of course, matte black. I...
Will do. Like I said, I haven't had a chance to see it since it was dark when we got finished and evidently you couldn't see it under the light. How to get the wax/tape residue off though? Tried IPA, Quick Detailer, Soap/H20, ect??
Okay well after reading through a few of Mike's posts I see that there is really no great way to tackle them. I havent seen it in person yet, however the owner of the vehicle said that stripes are very glossy in the center from where I taped both sides of the stripe and the PC passed over them a...
When I did a paint correction the other day I taped off the vinyl stripes down the side of the car. Evidently the buffer hit them in some areas and made them shine more than the dull areas that were taped off. Can the stripes themselves be buffed with a soft pad and the PC without causing...
It is my vehicle, however I just purchased it within the past few months. There were lots of etched in water spots when I purchased it, however I thought I polished all of them out. I will see if I can grab some bigger pictures.
I will clay it today and see if it will take them out
Haven't...
Yeah planning on it, however the entire truck was already 95% corrected before the water spots showed up. Just trying to see if there was another way to remove them without having to use the rotary on it.
Hmm...doing a little reading and they may be below surface water spots that have etched the paint. One user said that hydroflauric (sp?) acid would do the trick with a simple wipedown. Any comments on that?
What exactly are these? Look like hard water spots however they seem to be almost baked into the paint. Won't rub off by hand. Haven't tried taking the Flex to them yet....??? :confused: Any suggestions on how to take them off?
So there's really nothing that can be done as far as the sandblasting goes? I'm doing the work for a friend of mine so I was just trying to get it looking good as possible. I'm sure it was driven rough though.
Yeah that may be the answer. Really don't wanna spring for a rotary at the moment though :cool:

This is the test spot on the hood I was talking about.

Mike,
I did do a test spot on the hood before I started working on the fender. After it was finished there were hundreds of little dots in the paint so I decided to move over to the front fender to see if I had the same problem. Luckily I didn't, however it looks like there are RIDS on the...
Sorry about the pictures. Guess my browser automatically resized them when I posted so I didn't notice. Anyway I have been using the PC for a couple of months now. I assume it's the 2nd Gen since I ordered it brand new not long ago. I split the fender into 3 sections so it was a small section I...
The paint is in terrible shape for a car that has so much $ invested in it. So would a yellow pad and the Menzerna polish touch the scratches or is it simply too much for a DA to take out. I think the last picture was 3 passes with the orange pad and M105, and it didn't seem as if I had a shot...
Started working on a Vette today and am having some trouble pulling all of the scratches out. I know some of them are past the clear and are out of range with the PC, but it seems like some of the ones left are surface scratches that should come out. Using the Meg's 105/205 with Orange/White...
