My Neighbors Third Cousins Daughter.....

[Flash Gordon]

I knew it! That's what this is about, really. Feeling protective towards the poor cute silly girl.
Post pics. Tell her it helps with getting the best feedback on the detailing forum.

It is true I'm afraid ^ If this was just some dudes car I probally would've never even considered it

Dang Mike, best set of reply posts ever!

Definately alot of good info here. However, this particular car will not be my guinea pig. I've weighed the risks -vs- rewards, and quite frankly, the risks are just to high. Sometimes being the best detailer to ever walk Gods green earth requires you to know when to walk away and know when to run

Yours,

* Questions

What is the proper name for a third cousins daughter?

At what point do you say, no, we are of no relation?

[Mike Phillips]

Already hit it with a rotary/wool ~ da w/surbuf with little to any improvement

One thing I always do when I wetsand anything and that's a Test Spot.

Sand a section and finish out with your finest grit paper or disc then make sure you can remove your sanding marks.

Thought I would post this because if a heavy cutting compound with a wool pad on a rotary buffer is hardly making a dent in the swirls and scratches that's kind of an indicator that the defects are deep and/or the paint is really hard and if the paint is really hard you don't want to be in a situation where you've sanded down the entire front clip only to find out you can't get your sanding marks out.

I've told the story on this forum and others where a guy painted a Ferrari and then sanded the entire thing down an no amount of compounding with either 3M or Meguiar's would remove the sanding marks the paint was so hard.

He had to repaint the car and he changed paint systems.

I learned from his mistake what not to do...

The rotary removed 90% of it. The problem I'm facing is where she scrubed like crazy in various spots. Plus, alot of these "Hot Spots" are on edges. I can only picture her out there doing this thinking "Wow, this SOS pad sure does remove bugs easily"

I'm getting ready to call my painter (8am) and see if this is something he might be able to fix. I feel alot more comfortable with this being in his hands rather then mine

I hate mistakes that cost me money. I've had enough of them already

Thanks again for your help Mike,

Mike Phillips !!! I noticed that there was a gallon container of Klean-Strip (Prep-All), Wax and Grease Remover. Could this be used as a substitute for mineral spirits and IPA ???

Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add to the thread. I just happened to see the title in the forum listing and had to see what it was about, because it sounded like a great opening to a bad joke lol.

Its Fixed!!!!!!!!!

Took it to my freinds to leave it for a few days. He suggested we go ahead and knock it out
2 hours 5 minutes later, I'm on the road again

Maybe that explains why there so awesome,. I really enjoy driving this car. They sure have come along way since their inception
