  1. Re: Pads separating from backing while compounding with DA polisher.

    Ok, sounds like I just need to be conscious of keeping the heat low.

    How long should I work a square? I am probably overdoing it.

    - Is the vehicle in the shade or sun? Sun, but I worked on...
  2. Re: Pads separating from backing while compounding with DA polisher.

    yes, same pad.
  3. Re: Pads separating from backing while compounding with DA polisher.

    I haven't even completed the hood yet. It's pretty large. I've gone through two pads with the same problem. I figured I should work out what I'm doing wrong before it gets really expensive.
  4. Pads separating from backing while compounding with DA polisher.

    I've been attempting to compound my Ranchero with the DA. My first experience with one. And after about three or four squares, my foam pad separates from the hook and loop backing. I've watched...

  8. Re: 00 Grand Prix GTP. Start With Discolored Wheels, Then On to the Paint.

    Well, I guess the case of the discolored wheels is solved. My intention was to be rid of the gold stripe and emblems, but now I wonder if I should embrace the gold. Black/gold is not really my thing,...
  9. Re: 00 Grand Prix GTP. Start With Discolored Wheels, Then On to the Paint.

    Well, I'll be darned. They don't look gold enough to be intentional.
  10. 00 Grand Prix GTP. Start With Discolored Wheels, Then On to the Paint.

    I just got a 2000 Grand Prix GTP a few weeks ago. Mid-life crisis on a budget. The paint is in decent shape, so, I'll get to that later.

    If my towel is still coming up black with the M07, does that mean I should keep going?

  13. Re: Mike Phillips style Restoring Single Stage Paints on my Black Ranchero.

    And how do I know when the paint has stopped absorbing the oils?

    Hello, I'm Clay. I'm new here. So, I've had this Ol' black 1979 Ford Ranchero sitting around here for about 10 years, and I decided to make that thing look better. Naturally, I grabbed some rubbing...
