    Re: How to use Motorcraft Touch Up Paint?

    I need to do the same on mine to touch up rock chips from 2 years of highway travel. The advice above sounds very good. In addition, have a look at this video. It's an excellent instructional on...
  2. Re: Wait Time? Touchup paint before coating ?

    Anybody done this that can lend some advice?
  3. Wait Time? Touchup paint before coating ?

    I have to do some touch up paint on my Mazda and it also needs some paint correction and a finishing coating (I'm going to use Optimum Gloss Coat).

    I was planning to do all of the compounding and...

    Sticky: Re: Professional Detailers list

    I'm in need of someone in Pennsylvania near Exton/King of Prussia area. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance.
  5. Re: Detailing newbie. Best general Microfiber towels & Collinite 845

    I've never used those, but the price is great for 3 16x24 MF towels :xyxthumbs: If they're decent quality, it's an even better bargain.
  6. Re: Detailing newbie. Best general Microfiber towels & Collinite 845

    I think your question is tough to answer because different towels are designed for different purposes. You have thicker longer knapp/strand towels for drying and wiping/removing waxes and polishes,...
  7. Re: Polishing/cutting aluminum to remove scratches

    Thanks for the encouragement :) Yeah, it's highly mirror like now with only some minor imperfections, but it's great for what I was going for.
  8. Re: Polishing/cutting aluminum to remove scratches

    Thank for chiming in :xyxthumbs:

    Yeah, I think I got a little sloppy once I was at 1000+ grit when wet sanding. Sometimes it's tough to tell if you've gotten all of the cross sanding marks out...
  9. Re: Polishing/cutting aluminum to remove scratches

    I stopped at a metal polishing shop and their tech told me I wouldn't get it any better than where it's at due to it being a large flat panel. He said I'd have some visible scratches from whatever...

    Re: The 1971 Ford Mach 1 Detail

    WOW. Lovely car and a fabulous restoration on that paint. It went from dull and lifeless to extremely deep and glossy. You should be very proud of that work, sir !
  11. Re: City prohibits running business from home garage

    I guess my point was that we're already levied enough fees and taxes. For a one man shop business owner, you're getting hit on both sides (business fees and taxes and then personal income taxes).

  12. Re: City prohibits running business from home garage

    At the same time, there's something wrong about being required to obtain x number of "business licenses", pay fees and additional bogus taxes as well...no?
  13. Re: Which coating will fill the Opti-Coat 2.0 void?

    Warranties always increase the end cost to the consumer, because it increases the cost of the manufacturer/seller.

    I think when you look at the "warranty" of a product you also need to consider...
  14. Re: Polishing/cutting aluminum to remove scratches

    Deeper? I started with 320 though...? The scratches that are visible are really from 1500-2000 grit papers. Should that be MUCH easier removable with machine polishing at this point? It's going to...
  15. Polishing/cutting aluminum to remove scratches

    I was hoping you all could point me in the right direction. I'm working on a couple of aluminum pieces which I've used the cross-sanding technique from 320 grit (it was pretty deeply marred) up to...
