Key Repair + Fellow AutoGeek = Huge Pressure

Richy another home run!

Pressure or not you always deliver!

A scratch repair specialist you are. Someday AG will make these a sticky ( I feel it )!

With your step by step every time you post ( on the repairs) I gain more and more confindence to take on one if the opprotunity arises.

Anyways enough of my rambling keep up the flawless work my friend.
 
Great save Richy. Its obvious that a 5 hour drive doesn't matter when you are bringing your car to one of the best.

Thanks very much! The step by step thread IS a sticky. I kinda wanted to have this one as a "round 2" kinda thing.

Pat, that's very kind...thank you Sir.
 
Nice work Richy. I can understand you being nervous having so much on the line

:props:
 
Thank you Richy for teaching us step by step on how to fix scratches. Can you tell us more about the type of air gun you use to spray the tire dressing on? Does it use more product?

Sure thing. I believe this was the first thread in which I mentioned it:

The gun itself comes from a Canadian Auto Supply place, but I'm sure you could find an equivalent somewhere like Harbor Freight or wherever:

I think you actually end up using less product. What makes this method so much better IMO is how evenly it distributes the product, especially when the tires have lots of grooves on the sides. There are 2 keys to doing it this way: 1) the spray gun and 2) leveling it right after with a foam tire applicator. Doing the 2nd step knocks off any excess and gives you a uniform appearance. You just go around the tire with the dry tire applicator afterward. Hmmm...maybe I'll make a short video showing the process as I've been asked about this setup many times [thinking out loud].

Hope that helps.:xyxthumbs:
