    Junkman's, The Mother of All "How to Fix Your Paint for Novices" Thread!

    Thanks, but I've only gotten to that one square section and I'm still not sure it's as good as I can get it. I'm still figuring out how to eye the paint properly...

    Well, last evening I broke out the PC7424XP for the first time. I attached the orange pad, put 4 pea sized drops of M105 on it, and started on my first 1-1/2' by 1-1/2' section. This is going to take some getting used to (and I was by the book). What I didn't count on was my brain feeling...

    Junkman: In your two-bucket wash series, you mention treating remaining water spots by using a detail spray. Do you you ever do the whole car with detail spray (claying notwithstanding)? I would think that if you are washing, polishing and waxing/sealing the Junkman way, there'd be no need...

    Junkman has a brand new video up on how to address removal of bird droppings, tree sap etc when you're stuck away from home (eg work, out to lunch, etc). Just what the Doctor ordered. Watch as the leatherneck flicks bird droppings across his garage (kick up your feet...but save the popcorn; not...

    It's good that his videos are international; clearly Junkman's a great ambassador. "Check out this clean-cut American and his Stingray..." As I mentioned early on, I placed my first (and continuing) orders at Autogeek because of the Junkman. Dude is a Pied Piper. To have Mike Phillips and...

    Junkman: Your point is very well taken about understanding the time necessary to correct your entire paint job. So, if I decide to tackle my hood, or half a hood, over the weekend then move onto another panel the next, how am I treating the uncorrected panels for normal maintenance purposes...

    Correction: SEVEN (7) kabobs and 2 filets. Did you eat all that at one sitting??

    How's that work with a beer can stuck in the guts? Does the beer steam out of the can? I've heard of hot dogs steamed in beer. Interesting. Junkman's pork loaf was a masterpiece. I am doubly impressed because I can't even make a piece of toast. Also, a man who can chow down 2 filets and 3...

    Junkman, speaking of eating, I have a question about that delicious pork loaf you made at 3:20am. What else did you serve with that (to yourself presumably)? I'd love to serve that meal to guests. Also, do you have another cooking video in the plans/works? Pork, chicken and kebob/filet...

    Junkman: I know you have said that bird droppings and such should be removed from a car the the same day, preferably the same hour. Let's say I'm in an urban area for the day and upon arriving at my destination, I discover that I've got pine sap on my hood. Parking is tight and the only...

    Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking with the 87 year old father of a guy who lives in my neighborhood. He was one of Lt. Gen. Chesty Puller's (USMC) NCOs at Camp Lejeune in the years between the end of WWII and Korea. He told me--get this Junkman--that Gen. Puller was so...

    Gonna go try the clay. I have this clay, made in the USA, that's a more expensive, special blend, sold by a guy up the street who gets in bulk from a secret supplier. just kidding AJ; I didn't even know what clay was until I watched your video... Thanks for the help. Mike

    I read your repsonse and immediately went out to look at the paint with my iphone flashlight ("mag light" app- I recommend it for high power, illuminated magnification; free when I got it) and sure enough, there are indeed dull "J" "S" and "U" marks all over my paint. Put me in the corner...

    Junkman, my parking space at work is situated under a tree. At the end of the day, my car is covered with some sort of detritis composed of these worm-shaped deciduous things from the tree. Yesterday it rained late morning, followed by strong sun and heat. These things didn't even come off...

    I just had to subscribe to this forum to write the following: A few weeks ago, gastro-challenged avian let go on the hood of my brand new black MB SLK. I knew nothing about detailing and was the LAST person interested in DIY anything. As fate would have it however, some benevolent vibe...
