Some pics. Forgot to get pics of the rust spot after I sanded and primed but I just used Rustolium Etcher/Primer gray on the taped off spots.

Thanks to briarpatch sending Wolfgang Paint sealant I was able to finally get to it. After washing and polishing the truck with Sonax Perfect Finish and Boss Yellow pads it was coated in the Wolfgang Paint sealant. Looks amazing. I really like the Perfect finish, not sure the yellow Boss pad...

Update on this, and thanks for all the direction, greatly appreciated. I ended up grinding and sanding all of the bubbles to get the rust out which lead to a one inch hole that was eaten through from the rust. Then applying self etching primer on the outside and a couple spots on the inside...

Thanks just tried that last night using boss MF fast cutting pads on a white Audi. Kept it on 6 (full speed) the entire time and it didn't help. Seems like it is very sensitive to being perfectly perpendicular to even the flat panels. I think I'll talk to Griot's on this one. Thanks for...

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice please. I know that Ford fenders tend to rust due to the foam insert holding moisture. My truck fenders started to bubble under the paint a few years ago and one just recently broke open exposing the rust. There are 2 bubbles about 3 inches big and the rust...

Really enjoyed reading this. I get it, when you start detailing something of your own it's hard to draw that line. That being said, the steps you took are crazy thorough. But I'm sure when it was done it was such a good feeling of accomplishment, till the first bug hit. Nice job! and nice bike.

I am new hobbyist and purchased a Griot's G9 and a G8. I use the G9 with mostly 5" pads from LC and Boss with minimum stalling and great results. However, the G8 using same type of pads 3" seems to stall all the time. Whenever I use it on concave, non flat surfaces or angled with very light...

Never mind I see it on the first post, Hard to read on a phone.

Nice job. I might have missed it but what did you use for a compound, polish and pads? Might be doing a white Lexus suv this weekend, probably about 5 years old but not taken care of at all.

I'm not really tied to anything but my DA (G9, G8). I'm about out of Ultimate Compound so I will need something new and I don't think sticking with that would work on Audi paint anyway. MF Pads, same, I need to order some and it doesn't necessarily have to be Meg's. D300 seems like a good...

Not sure if I should start a new thread on this but I did my daughters 2011 non-metallic black VW Jetta this weekend and man was that a whole different animal. That paint was so hard to correct and I did the best I could with what I had. Meg's Ultimate Compound with Griot's MF pad on my D9 was...

Some Pics of the truck a week after paint correction. It was full of pollen so it was washed with Foam Cannon and HoneyDew foam soap which seemed to work great. All I did was rinse with a power washer and dry using Griot's Speed Shine. Too bad this probably has to be done a couple times a...

Agree, and only fair. I'll get some tomorrow.

Yeah, I get it. Do you guys recommend the foam guns? Or is that just a gimmick and just do regular correct two bucket washes? Thing is that I spent all that time getting the scratches out of the black metallic I would hate to scratch up with the washing until the existing coatings wear off...

I appreciate the feedback. I understand that being new to this you sometimes pick-up the wrong products and listen to the wrong reviews until you find what works best for you. I'll look into those that you suggested. What if anything should I use until I do the reseal? Pollen season is really...

Hi, I just got into home detailing on my cars and bought a G9 and the 3” G8 along with many chemicals and cleaners to get going. My truck is a 2011 Black F350 that has never been really cleaned the right way, waxed but not a good cleaning. I did the steps below and cannot believe how well...

Hi, I recently purchased a G9, G3 and what seems like way too many products. My Black 2011 F350 had never been corrected and was pretty scratched up so my goal was with this being my first paint correction, remove scratches and seal. Of course I got carried away with interior and other things...
