1994 Corsica, lots of wetsanding & buffing (56K is a no go) Picked up this little piece for dirty dirty cheap. All it needs is a lower intake gasket, no biggie. So I decided to recondition it, maybe I can sell it for a good price. This is what I started with it: Engine...

Me and AJ tried earlier in the year to set something up but it never happened because of lifes situations…………it happens. 2001 Grand Am GT This vehicle was a thorn in my side. Unforseen problem after another. Process Wash, no 2 bucket method, no point. Foam gun...

For the past year ive been dying to set up my garage better than it was. It needs so much BS to make it even remotely comfortable to detail in. The problems my garage has that need to get done: Double doors have to go, i need a one big single door. 2 single doors suck, such a waiste of...

2000 Mazda Millenia Millennium This car was probably one of the worste ive delt with yet. The previous owner must have washed the car with a scratch pad or steel wool, it’s the only thing I can think of that may have caused this kind of damage. It’s a shame, IMO it’s a...

This is the worste spot on the whole car. Its obvious someone tried to clean off something with like steel wool or a scratch pad of some kind. These images are after 3 passes with my rotary+wool medium cut wool pad+ megs #83 at 2000rpm's.......... Barely dented the scratches. This part...

Ive been using this pad for some time now and it really isnt all that aggressive. I started using it with OP my first few times with it and then started using it with OC becuase it just didnt have any bite with the OP. Even with the OC it is still pretty weak. It takes multiple passes to correct...

I was finaly able to do a full paint correction on my good buddy’s 1999 GAGT. Me and Tim had talked about it in the past but since he lives 3+ hours away it took us almost a year to finaly setup a weekend to do it. It needed it badly, definitely beyond saving but well worth trying, we...

This car was a florida car obviously extremely abused by the previous owner. Paint correction only. Process: wash- gold class, very old mitt, 1 bucket and screw the foam gun, wasnt gonna hurt this paint job any worse than it was. tires and rims got simple green scrub down Clay- clay...

I ordered an Edge/presta double sided green light cut wool and a double sided medium cut yellow wool. They ended up sending me a single sided green wool, not happy bout that at the moment. Anyways i wanted to use wool so bad i went ahead and used the yellow on half my brothers hood. All i...

The questions: 1. I seen a member say that with wool the cuts are a bit different like a light cut wool is like a medium cut foam, is that true? 2. I assume that with wool its more the function of the pad than the product. If this is true then i assume would really only wanna use a...

I wanna learn how to wetsand clear coat. I bought everything you could ever need. The problem im runing into is i cannot get my hands on any scrap panels. I went to 8 body shops and i got the same answer from all but one of them and thats a big NO! :mad: They all said that they have a...

I seriously dont get how you do it. Most vehicles dont have panels that are even that big. Last night i was lookin at my brother Jeep Cherokee and i dont see anywhere you could use pads that are 8", except maybe the hood. Then i was lookin at my grand am, 8" pads would work on the doors and...

It freakin ROCKS!!!!! OMG, i cant believe how easy it is to use, how slick it is and how awsome it looks. The only reason i havent used it is becuase i have so much in my arsenal i couldnt justify buying it. I went to carquest lookin for something and it was on sale for $4.99, what the...

I live in Grand Rapids and the only PBE store we have (that i know of) is Finish Masters. I wish their name held some kind of truth :lol. They finaly got on my last nerve. There has to be at least a somewhat decent PBE store somewhere in west michigan. I dont mind an hour drive if thats...

Its becoming harder and harder and harder to find Meguiars yellow foam applicator pads which is what I primarily use for all my waxes/sealants. Walmart no longer carry's them, Autozone (at least in my area) dont carry them anymore, Pepboys (at least in my area) dont carry them anymore nor...

Why can i not control cutting pads with my makitta? Im using the edge2K 6" system and the optimum line. I dont know what im doing wrong. It wants to skip/jump and do what it wants to do. Not only that but they create to much heat for my liking. Are wool cutting pads easier to control? I...

Finaly used my rotary! It was alot of fun and alot to learn, alot more than i thought anyways. Practice vehicle: 1996 GMC Jimmy- The fiance and my "beater" Sorry but i couldnt get any "befores". I did a "quicky" light polishing on this truck last fall with the PC, 4" pads and megs #80...
