It might be 3/4 of the way across the country, but I'd be there...in a heartbeat!!!

Thanks again Oscar, I really appreciate it.

One more thing...sorry. Just checked the Minwax website, they have a water-based Minwax, that is not the one to use...correct?

Oscar, Thanks again for the thread and the reply, really appreciate that. One last question, is there any curing time, or drying time, that I should wait after applying the Minwax? Simply wipe on a thin layer and leave it alone or wipe off the excess with a clean towel afterwards? Thanks...

Hello Oscar, thanks for the thread and the great information. The work your have done looks great. Just want to make sure I understand what you have done correctly, you wet sanded with 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper, going in a back and forth direction. It doesn't sound like you...

Todd, welcome to the family. For those that have not tried Black Fire Wet Diamond, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. It leaves a very wet look and a nice "slickness" to the finish. It is a really good product. Merlin and I have used it a couple of times and really like the results. I'm...

Hello all! Does anyone know when pads have worn out? Other than the telltale signs like pads physically being damaged or falling apart. Specifically we are using Lake Country CCS (6.5) and flat pads (5.5). The orange, white and grey pads are used the most and get the most wear and tear...

Great job Garry, looks really good. Sure the owner is glad you saved the hood, and the money for the re-paint.

Merlin is a good guy and put together, along with others I'm sure, a great list to get you started...Good luck! Be sure to post some follow up pictures.

I agree, love Collinite, you can't go wrong with it!!!

Great look Mustang...enjoy! Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure we can give you a free pass on this one...after all, it was a loooong weekend for you I'm sure. Good job this week, you all did a GREAT job!

I agree with everything said above. This was my first detail fest, but it will not be my last, I can assure you of that. Met a lot of really cool people and learned a lot of new techniques and reinforced some of the ones that I knew. Thank to Max for putting this event on and to the entire...

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I've used the new Meguiar's DA MicroFiber system and nothing but positive things to say about it. It works really well. Depending on how much time or how much you want you invest, you can try the following (after the appropriate washing and claying): Meguiar's Correction Compound with...

The demonstration they did at Detail Fest on Saturday it was a WOWO, with about a 5 minute cure time. They checked and cleaned up a couple of high spots. Once those were addressed, the product was ready to wipe off.

No hope of cleaning that pad? Is this something you'd use a pad that you no longer to use it for anything else for again?

Been cleaning ours in soapy water, letting them rinse for a little while, then spraying them off with a hose. Works pretty good, but a little messy.

Great pictures and great start to Detail Fest 2011. Looking forward to Sunday.
