I just joined the IDA...

Signed up and paid $110 dues.

Should have done this couple years ago.

Will begin the online test soon---kinda freaked out what is in the test!

Found a detail website that showed a peak view of some sample questions---Don't have a clue!
Act of a rotary on paint is a burn...

What!?? Burn? All the time I've been on this forum--never heard of a paint burn as process of finishing off paint!!!!

Me thinks I'm gonna mess up! Lol...

If you leave a rotary in one spot, it'll burn through quick!

Good luck, Tommy!

You got this!!

Perhaps they're referring to a friction burn ?

Or maybe they were truncating the word burnish, which is an accurate description/synonym for polishing.

Good move! Great organization.

To literally remove paint from a vehicle due to the friction generated by a rotary buffer is called paint burn
a : True
b : False

Pull this off the site with the question...
Answer is True.

Seriously? Paint burn?

We need to start talking about burning paint instead of polishing or burnishing paint!

Grin....

First time I have heard it put like that.

Don't think I much agree with it either.

Just looked up IDA and it looks like they are based about 10 miles from me in Roseville.

I don't think a company such as Lake Country would sell very many "Paint Burning" pads.

Just sayin'............

If I get this right---paint burn is the term used for correcting/polishing paint.
Correct me if I'm wrong!

Paint Burn is when you go through the clear coat usually on an edge when you hold a rotary or DA, usually on an edge. Yes its called burning.... Im sure the IDA has a glossary of terms
