This car was hit...so dont mind the bumper Lol

After: Wetsanded with 800. I used the Preval with ACME Finish 1 FC470 high solids clear with a medium hardner. Mixed 2oz clear 0.5oz hardener. Success! Takes a link time to get used to how it sprays.

Ahhhh. Good call. Can I get away using Paint Thinner? I would assume they would do the same job to clean up the left over & The owner of Preval told me to toss the Preval Filter...Lol

Awesome. Thanks for the input...I think I'll give it a shot...I'll probably reduce it a bit more, since I've talkled to the tech guys at SPI about it.

I plan on adding Headlight restoration with the option of reclearing headlights with UV clear coat from (TcpGlobal my local jobber or SPI Polyurethanes) and I was wondering if anyone has used the Preval for a HL restoration or any small job. Thanks!

Darn... hmmm. Is it worth the trouble? Lol.... I see Griots Pneumatic Orbital is 80..where the 3" electric DA is 100. I have a 60 gallon 5 true HP Air compressor that exerts about 15CFM if that helps with any other options. And should I just stick with 6" since my polisher is already a 6"...

Hi, everyone! So, I got my car recently painted at a cheap paint shop.. (1000 dollars with PPG Shopline Plus Basecoat and Euro-Clear) and he did a 1500/3000 wet sand...but honestly..it is half-@ss. There is still a considerable amount of orange peel and dull areas. I've done OEM restorations and...

Very true. The hose is quite short. But, I try to keep interior stuff down to small SUVs at the most. I honestly have a hard time doing large vehicles...being 5'-4" and doing paint correction on those behemoths takes a while....especially using 3-5.5" LC pads. Lol. I can't imagine extracting the...

Yea, FLickr is a pain.... LOL. Well, well well. I was wearing a black thermal and sweat pants, my girfriend was wearing PJs and flip flops. hahahahha! Yea.... it was my car...my house.....the comfort of home working on your own car is nice xD

I should have done that before I posted it, thanks for info! Woooot. Now i'll be posting up more things more often, now that I am happy with my exterior detail work....more to come!

hahahahha! Thanks a bundle! :)

If you guys/gals know of a better way to upload photos.... please show me...I want them to show within my post...not links within them.... THANKS!

So, I've been incognito on the autogeek forum for around 3 years now and just recently made an account. Started off with a PC7424XP now with a Griots 6 and a Hitatchi Green rotary. Enough of that, though. So, 12/7/13 I noticed Target was having a super sale on the infamous "Little Green Machine"...

Sounds good! I really didn't want that huge vacuum to lug around and store...it would be so annoying. Thanks!

It makes me very curious what the 6.5peak horsepower correlates to when water lift comes into play. Although it is probably closer to 2.5 running HP, why does it not vacuum well as the PF51...when that thing only has 1.6hp. If I were to drop the diameter of the hose on the Rigid to 1 7/8 or 2"...

It is an excellent wax. Petes was the first wax I purchased and I still buy it looks badass on black. Next to that I enjoy collinite 845 on white and HD Poxy for other colors.

Older craftsman were great! I would have bought one way back when if I was into detailing and had the money as a kid..Lol. Precisely, I figured if you decrease the hose diameter you could increase the vacuum too Thanks!

Good to know that the kit is almost useless...Lol. Decisions decisons. I am really curious on how well the ridgid will suck up the water off the carpets with better hose. Have you tried?

LOL. Thank you very much ! That will help
