    Re: Sanding Fresh 1K Clearcoat

    Just about done, waiting on a few parts from a friend in Texas now. It's a great match, the rest of the car has three months worth of dust on it, hence the slight difference. Pretty impressive, the...

    Re: Sanding Fresh 1K Clearcoat

    Here it is everyone. It looked bad in the sun. Spent about 2.5 hours sanding by hand with 1500, 2000, 2500, then UC on a yellow pad with my DA. I had tried machine sanding, but I felt I couldn't get...

    Re: Sanding Fresh 1K Clearcoat

    Hi all,

    I got ahold of some sandpaper in the various grits.

    However, I went out tonight to take a look at the header in my shop, and under the shop lighting, much to my surprise, the finish...

    Sanding Fresh 1K Clearcoat

    Hi all,

    Hit a deer with my '83 Continental a few months back, and I've finally tracked down a header panel. I ordered all my paint stuff from paintscratch.com, and the clearcoat is a 1K clear.

    Re: Can I Do Much More With This Single Stage?

    This is how it currently sits.

    The haze annoys me, but I don't think, short of possibly wetsanding and doing it all over again, it will get any better. It's still a massive improvement from how...

    Re: Can I Do Much More With This Single Stage?

    What color/grade of pad is recommended, white? I think I have a few of them somewhere, along with some Optimum Polish II.

    1979 was the final year for the full size car. Ford held out longer than...

    Re: Can I Do Much More With This Single Stage?

    The thing is, the car has sat outside in the sun since 1999. The paint came back shockingly well considering, but it's not 100%.

    I'm just trying to get it as nice as reasonably possible for the...

    Can I Do Much More With This Single Stage?

    Hi all,

    About a month ago, I bought a 1979 Lincoln Continental as a project.

    As you can see, the paint was the least of...

    Repainting DD, how do I protect it?

    Hi all,

    Hopefully in the next couple weeks, I'll be sending my 1994 Town Car into the body shop for a full strip down and repaint. The paint job is going to run nearly double what the car is...
  10. Re: How Do I Fix/Reduce Indentations In Leather?

    Hi,

    Good idea on the steaming towel, I'll leave those on it while I'm working on it tonight.

    Yes, once the leather is repaired and all the cracks reinforced and filled in, I plan on using...
  11. Re: How Do I Fix/Reduce Indentations In Leather?

    Just an update, a good steaming of both the foam, and the pad did the trick. Seat is very comfortable now, and nearly all the indentations are gone. I think one more session with the steamer will...
  12. Re: How Do I Fix/Reduce Indentations In Leather?

    Well, I tried the steamer again on these (I had done it previously on another set), and while the seats look much, much better, most all of the dimples remain. On the other hand, the massive...
  13. How Do I Fix/Reduce Indentations In Leather?

    Hi all,

    I bought a set of seats out of a '93 Town Car Cartier today at the junkyard for a project I'm working on, and while the rear and passenger seats look like they came out of a 3 year old...

    Re: Clear Coat Failure Question

    Hi there,

    Waxing/sealing does seem to make a difference in how rapidly the clearcoat de-laminates.

    I kept my old '94 Town Car washed and waxed religiously, but the clearcoat slowly started to...

    Re: Leather care

    Einszett 1Z Plastic Deep Cleaner. Works like nothing I've ever used.
  16. Re: How do I get this thing off my dash without damaging the dash?

    Isopropyl Alcohol.
  17. Re: Reviews please on Liquid Glass Auto Polish/Finish

    I thought the same as you, but I called a phone number a forum member gave me (it was off the can), and a guy answered who was exceptionally rude. He knew all about the product, and told me the...
  18. Re: Reviews please on Liquid Glass Auto Polish/Finish

    Liquid Glass is a damn fine product.

    It's been reformulated for clearcoats, and is a cleaner polish. It can be layered after each coat cures, it says so right on the back of the can.

    It works...
  19. Re: Anyone use Microfiber towels from Dollar General

    I've never had an issue with them scratching glass.
  20. Re: 1940 LaSalle Convertible - Wetsand, Cut and Buff

    I love how the rear seat looks like it has 18" of padding.
  21. Re: Anyone use Microfiber towels from Dollar General

    I think they are more prone to scratching the paint, less nap, threaded edges, tag sewed on vs. stuck on (like that little detail on the Cobra towels).

    I use them, have a bunch, actually.

    They...

    Re: Is it a waste of effort?

    I would think if you polished every 6 months, you wouldn't have any clear left after 2 years or so.
  23. Re: Removing wax/polishes from the clear paint protection line?

    The stuff above works too, but when I get wax on top of my vinyl pinstriping on the GMC, (same basic scenario) I use a toothpick and run along the line. Gets all of it off, costs next to nothing...
  24. Re: Einszett 1Z Deep Cleaner on leather....not so good results.

    My leather is (was, perhaps) coated however. It worked GREAT on the passengers side. Looks brand new. Perhaps the coating on the drivers side has broken down a bit. I only had a problem on the front...

    Re: Worst wheels I've encountered

    One thing to try would be Naval Jelly.

    It's a gel type paste, wear gloves, and apply directly to the affected area. It's a rust remover, but it's done some miracles for me. That may be what a...
