    Re: Possible paint burn through?

    Hi Mike

    Re: Possible paint burn through?

    No it wasnt actually and I bought the car brand new. I see what you mean though and it does look like a bad paint job.

    Re: Possible paint burn through?

    Damn! Its strange? I suppose it could be going down to the very first paint job exposing the spray gun lines possibly?

    H Mike

    A lot of these products like Black Fire range for example are not available in Aus. Do you stock them at all and if so would it be possible for a quote on shipping to Aus?

    Thank you Mike :)
  10. Re: Putting a 6" Backing Plate on a machine purchased with a 5" backing plate (Possible?)

    Also Mike, how familiar are you with the 3M compounds and polishes? I wondered if it would be at all possible to use their compounds on pads which aren't 3M and on a DA polisher instead of a rotary?
