Thanks for the feedback Mike! I got the Absorber by chance as I found it in the spare tire compartment when I brought home my used SUV. It was a very good find as I've always been impressed with how...
Following up on the Wheel Resto post, does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to clean up the rims? The process I used did a decent job, but I'd love to know if there's a better way.
Well, I'm finally getting the time to post the results of the Bronco project. For the most part, it went really well. I'm going to break this up into two sections: Paint and Wheels. I think that will...
Will do! I finally placed my order this morning (I'm slow when it comes to picking certain products. Too much research...) Hopefully it'll all come in this week and we can work on it next weekend....
Thanks Tom, I can work with that. Looking through the AG site it appears that the Lake Country pads are a good match for the PC7424. I've used them before and they seem to do well. I figure I'll...
Polisher is a Porter Cable 7424XP and the pads are old CCS brand green (polishing/AIO), black (Finishing) and red (can't find. Maybe replaced by orange which is light cutting). It all came in a...
Hi Mike,
I recently purchased a '94 Bronco that had been sitting for many years in the Kansas City area. in addition to the rust underneath that is being fixed and future installation of fender...
Thanks Tom. I was starting to think I might want to try Meg. Ultimate Compound next, but was afraid it would remove too much paint and I don't know how thick the paint is in this section. Hopefully...
Well, I have a follow-up question on the process. We put two coats of #7 on the truck and then wiped it off after it "soaked" for 18 hours or so. The color is definitely deeper and clearer, but we...
I kinda figured it'd involve a plug of some kind. Just thought I'd ask and see if there was something i had overlooked. I'll see what i can find and post back later.
Hi Mike,
I know this is an old thread, but the link to the "results post" is coming up with a "Page not Found" error. I'd really love to see the post of the process if it's still available. Can you...
Follow-up question after reading Mike's "Secret to Removing Oxidation...": Do we want to clay the red paint first or should we start with #7? He started that with clay, but I'm wondering if that...
Hi Mike,
I've searched and read several of the threads but I'm still not sure where to start. My soon to be 16 year old son just purchased a '92 F150 that's 2-tone (white with burgundy side panels)....
Thanks Chris! That's the info I was looking for. There is a 3M air sander on eBay that's very similar to the model AG sells but it looks like the price is going to be close enough to the PC or Meg...
That's interesting! I would never have thought to use a Marine/RV polish on a car but, based on it's description, I can see where it would do a better job cleaning the paint.
