Now I know why I left Phoenix 17 years ago. We have had a very mild winter mostly 30's to 60's and only 2 decent snow events. How hot are you expecting for the Race Wars car show?

 

I don't even know I haven't checked the weather tomorrow our high is 94

 

again grate info --iam really starting to like this sight --- thanks I will be trying this out myself as well

 

I use an amazing sealant called opti-seal look it up 2 oz is enough for 5 cars

 

luckily the previous owners took really good care of this car. so i can skip alot of the steps. its a really clean car

also, my body shop buddy told me to use a product called race glaze. says its a polish and sealant. i tried a little, and it went on really nice

 

So how did it go?

 

hasnt been done yet. been too chilly outside to do so. and i was working 2nd shift last week, so kinda hard to clean a car at 12:30am lol

 

digging this up from the dead. getting my materials together and trying to find the time to sit down for a weekend and go detail crazy. when touching my car, it isnt very smooth to the touch. and im starting to see more and more marks here and there, and swirl marks and what not.
if im going ot use a compound and swirl remover, can i apply this via a da buffer? or do i need to do it by hand? my worry is a compound or swirl remover would be a bit abbrasive to remove the marks in the finish, so i didnt want to really dig it in with a compound. although i know it would take alot less time to do with a da biffer vs hand method. can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

 

also, what pads are better? the waffle type paterned pads, or just a regular smooth surfaced foam pad?
