Way to save this 911 and :dblthumb2: for making it pretty again. I bet the owners mouth dropped when he/she saw the finished product.

That's my favorite car 71 Cuda w/ Hemi or a 440 preferably in Plum Crazy! That orange sure hits you in the eyeballs now! Love it, looks fabulous.

That would be awesome. I love working on the oldies!

Congrats Sr! Option B. I used Menzerna 3in1 and the same pad setup as you mentioned. Pic is a Ford Edge.

Mike, one Thursday class I want to come down when you have a hammered single stage car to do, like that old Lincoln. I'll keep my eye peeled for future Thursday events. Have fun everyone and get'um shinny!

I love mine as well, I need to get that vac attachment. It is a great investment imo. The black model has beefed up internals and is more efficient in not needing as much CFM to drive it. That being said you will want a compressor that will supply the correct CFM I think it was 5 CFM @ 90 psi.

Why PTG is a great investment. Most car manufacturers will only allow roughly 25% of the total clear coat thickness removed without long term durability problems "Premature Clear coat Failure" being an issue. If you started off with 50 microns(2mils) of clear coat, you would only be able to...

I always wondered the same here is a link Automotive OEM Coatings : BASF Coatings GmbH that gives some more insight. All that you just mentioned varies from one manufacturer to the next. My rule of thumb is about 1.25mil or roughly 31microns. As far as soft paint and hard paint your best bet...

Making plans for this as we speak. Talk about huge step, awesome to see AG growing! Rob D may be off the hook this year. I tell ya those meatballs are INSANELY GOOD!

I've used Optimum No Rinse on leather works great if that doesn't cut it I use Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl or Sonax Leather foam, and in some cases like your's I'd pair those products with my steamer.

Congrats Mike on season 2! Super cool to hear, that's awesome news! Can't wait to see what you have in store for everyone this season.

I think you are fine with time on that Hyundai. You can only go so fast before quality starts to suffer. So many variables come into play its crazy, such as panel curves and angles, and all the prep just leading up to spinning pads on the paint. The correction time on even a small car is low...

Anderson3754 Only if you feel the need but if I were you I'd get the PC 7424xp and leave the GG6 alone. Not saying the GG6 is bad I have one but at this point you'd have two similar tools. Spend that money on multiple pads like the Lake Country Thin Pros. These thin pads Kick butt on that...

Like Maestro Sam asked it will help if you can identify the stain. Is it a tannin stain "coffee, soda, fruit juice" or protein stain "milk or food"? There are purpose made stain removers to break down particular stains when all purpose cleaner or a generic upholstery cleaner doesn't cut it...

Have a great time out there Mike and AG team! Awaiting some pics from Waxstock class.

Was going to say be careful and mindful of sensitive areas. Otherwise yes I'd treat the paint much the same as a car, always do some test spots. Congrats on the Pilots License as well!

Definitely cover the alternator, fuse boxes, distributor cap "older cars" with some type of plastic and or saran wrap. Some may argue differently or say you don't have to, while that maybe true the first time you detail and engine bay and the car doesn't fire you'll kick yourself. Every post...

Joe, I had to fire him because he never relayed that message to me!! Joe gets patched through RIGHT AWAY I say!

LOL!! I know right thanks Jeff!! Likewise Jeff that last episode we'll get to see you and all the others. That was a great weekend meeting you and many others, new friends made, and a great last episode!

Re: Competition Ready Episode 6 - Legend's Cup - Tim O'Connell's 1940 Ford Coupe I'll be tuning in at my favorite Atlanta "Chicago sports bar". They'll have the show pumping through a few of their screens! I will be representing and have my CR shirt on!!! Super excited thanks Mike for the...
