Inquiring mind (me) dares to ask why did you post this in the Thursday night class area? Did I miss something or ?

Single stage only contrary to the label`s statement of "Safe and effective on all paint finishes" and according to Mike Phillips.

And with this statement I say, I will never use poor quality sand paper , discs or bands when polishing stainless steel trim to a mirror finish and expect the same results as more expensive products. Sanding body work is less critical in it`s early stages then switched to higher quality more...

That darn spell-check has a mind of it`s own, or is it it`s user.

Most temperatures for powder coating don`t exceed 400 F. Ceramic coating (not paint coating) can and in many cases exceed that temp. and used primarily on extreme heat related parts .(Exhaust, ect) I just ceramic coated a pair of hood hinges in silver primarily for durability ....and they look cool!

Correct term would be shot peening in the automotive world or at least that`s what us gear heads call it.Used primarily in engine, rear end, ect. parts that were previously forged.The blasting of non-forged steel rims is mostly finished with between 80-120 grit abrasive.Can`t envision the need...

Can you explain "steel shot" please.

Too much powder or not enough cure time in the oven generally causes this to occur.

Perhaps not the most handsome of designs coming from FMC yet a sign of the times for post-war US made cars.Some may support a love-hate emotion to the "Fat Fendered" late 40`s early 50`s cars and trucks but for me it`s a Hot Rod in need of some loving.It was shown just that by a multitude of...

The problem I have with big stalls on the street are people.More specifically drivers in front of me and slow moving traffic. It`s a killer on transmissions and now you are going with a higher rear ratio.I`ve gotten one moving violation in 35 years.It was in my BB 3200 stall 69 Camaro doing 35...

Don`t pocket the $.Install a Gear Vendors Overdrive in the Camaro to make it more street friendly with the 4.11`s and first gear in the 350 and go with a lower stall converter.You can choose the gears that best suits your cam profile.IMHO.

In an effort to get a more defined head count prior to the ordering of the evenings pizza, and should you be so kind Mike, the addition of my name to the list would hold a two fold benefit to the applicant.:buffing::hungry::thankyousign:

Thanks Mike.Much prefer to be on standby than blowby.:buffing:

Happy Birthday and have a shinny day.:buffing:

I also like the TRIZACT bands used with the EXPANDER wheel when used for polishing stainless steel.Cars from the 50`s have lots of stainless trim!

Do a test spot with lacquer thinner if really dried on or wax and grease remover if not.

I was just in your neighborhood at the Rod Run.Are the rims clear coated or raw?

A tad pricey but great stuff.And as a added bonus the bubble gum aroma might bring you back to your "YOUT".

IMHO, I would`nt use mineral spirits to clean metal prior to paint as it`s petroleum based. Wax and grease remover or lacquer thinner perhaps better suited.

Short definition of Montan Wax.Although much of the current Montan wax on the market originates from Asia, chemist reports show it`s of lesser quality. Montan wax From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Montan wax, also known as lignite wax or OP wax, is a hard wax obtained by solvent...
