First times are great for that aren't they? SOOO much easier the next time you do it...after about 100x's it becomes fluent :) lol i know right? Glad it got some views over there...i havent been getting any feedback from posts on MOL lately...just seems to have gotten slow over there, but...

Looks nice...pricey...but i won't discard it just because of that. Maybe you can explain why its so much more than ones that are similar. Im sure theres a reason/reasons, im not doubting that,i just want to understand why/how its a higher quality :) Those also look good...again could you maybe...

Hey Adam, As noted below, grease is your friend in some cases so...dont wan't to get all that out, same thing when cleaning interiors, don't wipe out all the grease from the tracks your seats slide on... but as for the DIRT i know you're talking about, that just looks a mess...if you can't...

:thumbup:

So i have a little Husky 3 ton floor jack...nice jack, gets the job done but i do get tired of pumpin n pumpin and trying to fit that small head onto the suspension...and it always seems the handle is never in a position to where i can get a full pump, its always only about 3/4 or half. SO im...

I'm wondering if anyone happens to have a flashlight like this...

sorry im unfamiliar with the Xmas tree clips (probably would recognize it if i saw it lol). Thats for the explination...and wow, thats a lot of freakin items...i think i'll grab the 6 piece set lol

Hey guys, yup thats what im talking about. I knwo door panels have those stupid clips, are there any other thigns i might end up getting into that may also have those clips? Would i have any need for those super long handled ones?

Does anyone know if HF sells a tool that can be used to pull off door panels? Ive had to remove the panel on my taurus a couple times and it seems ilke every damn time i do a few of those stupid plastic clips that hold the panel to the door break...and there goes another $10 to replace them

As Matt said, it is hard to get a deeper reflection with a white or light colored paint...its just the nature of the beast. you can hide a LOT more than you can with a dark colored car (which is why so many people like them lol) but it is hard to get it to look as nice as a darker colored car...

Hey man thats absolutely awesome that you knuckled up and went for it. Maybe you can get a few after pictures once you get it out in the full sun on another day :). Keep it waxed every few months and wash it properly and that shine will last you a good long time :thumbup:

Ouch! Yeah it looks like someone took a Scotch Brite pad to it...NOT the smartest thing. For the scuffed up part after washing it and getting it clean, id say try a compound. If you have a polisher use it with the compound, something like Meguiars Ultimate Compound and then followed up by...

You called it...good answer...but of course still have to re-knead the clay to make sure the surface you're using stays as clean as possible

Sweet chopper man...ive never had an issue with GOOD mf's and chrome, but if you have something that works well for you, keep doing it...as matt said below, there is a difference. Some of my MF's cost $5+ EACH...bigger ones cost even more, but they are soooo soft and plush i don't think you...

Nice collection man. Have any pics of your garage that you do work in (i have dreams of not ALWAYS being mobile lol). I like the Sams club Mfs...mine seem to flatten out after a while though (mostly due to washing im thinking)...what are your experiences with them? My Sams only has yellow...

Depends on the strips. If they are vinyl then yes taping around them is best. If you don't want to then you can always do the areas around them by hand (more work but doable) and make yourself a 'cutline' by hand so to speak of a couple inches... You want to tape off sharp edges and body panel...

Heard good things about it, never got a chance to try it...nice price on it though Find a painter lmao. Either that or get some touch up paint if the spots are small I think what he said was a miscommunication. I think he was meaning start with a D.A...because rotaries will burn the...

Sorry for the late reply, been a busy couple of days! Well to do a full polish out on a work van might take a while, but then again, you have LOTS of flat panels which are so much nicer to work with than a bunch of curves! So the van shouldn't be too bad, but then again ive waxed a few of...

No need to be sorry, very good and sound advice. Like i said im just now considering getting into this so any advice or tips are much appreciated. Even if i dont try doing it NOW, i will still remember advice such as what you listed for when i DO try it out :thumbup:

I bought the 5 piece set....tried the needle nose type ones...when you use the adjuster screw to make the mouth of the pliers wider the pin that the screw pushes on just falls right out...very cheap and disappointing from Kobalt, im returning mine
