And I'm not off to a great start.
First thing I did was buy some really nice MF towels from the rag company, about $250 worth. They came fast and were really nice towels. I wanted to wash them all before use. Earlier in the day I polished my tail pipes with steel wool. I used some of my old towels for this. These old towels were ready for the trash so I put all the used up steel wool in the old rags and put this in a bucket. Somehow (I don't live alone) this got mixed into the washer with all the new towels. What a mess. Perhaps I could have got all the steel wool out but I couldn't risk it, I threw them all out and reordered. And I had to clean the washer out.
I bought some optimum 3" mf cutting pads for my new rupes mini. This combo did not work for me. The pads lasted less than 5 minutes before the microfiber came off the foam. I will try the rupes brand mf pads next. I just like optimum products so much I thought I'd try this.
I bought some iron x spray. The spray head fell apart in shipping and made spraying the iron x much harder than it should have been. I wasn't sure if I should use another sprayer because of the metal spring. On the plus side the smell was fine, I was worried after reading about how bad the smell is.
I have great respect for everyone who does this for a living, really hard on the body. My back is still sore.
I can't wait for my next project.
