MMMMRice

I started the hood with the white pad and the fmp and it didnt do anything. Then i stepped up to the orange pad and shr and it still didnt remove them, so I added pressure and that didnt do a **** thing either. What now?

Its the gf's car, didnt the dealership do a great job scratching the hell out of the paint!

Looks good!! It looked like someone used sandpaper to dry it before

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I was going through the pictures.

Thats alot of money in that cabinet behind you in the one picture. I bet adams was liking that order lol.

Maybe find a mixture that doesnt let the apc dry as fast?

So I stayed up until 2am playing video games last night. lol Guess whose useless today?

LOL Ive had those days

Worst sales tactic ever. YOU need to do the selling - not a sheet of paper.

I was just thinking that to stay organized and have set prices. How do you price them?

I was thinking of making a sheet for customers to check off what they want done with set prices.

Maybe its because I used 2 washers. Someone at adams said to but it always seemed like overkill and a slight lack of threads but you guys are the pros. From now on Im just going to use one washer. Thanks again adam and junkman; both of these guys pmed me to help solve the problem.

Did you have the washer installed and the backing plate fully engaged before starting??

I've literally got thousands of hours logged with a PC detailing more vehicles than I care to count and I've never had anything even remotely close to this happen.

Yep, Ive had about 50 hours on it when it happened the first time and about 30 minutes the second lol.

I didnt lift the pc from the glass. It made the odd noise and before I had a chance to turn it off it bucked sending the pad/plate across the garage and me back onto the glass with just the pc.

I dont go around any bends with it after I shot a couple pads off lol. Now I get all of the big areas with my pc and the small ones with a drill and the 4"ers

You guys think 16% is bad, I got my chase bill saturday and the interest rate is up to 29.99%..... its getting paid off and closed in the next two weeks.

Engine bay cleaning is something I don't do much of. How long should I shoot for on an average condition car? I'll have to check out the other sections for tips if it becomes a regular thing for me.

I do the engine bay just because its easy to do and it ads an extra little wow factor when the person picks up their car.

Yesterday I put a coat of smw on my stepdads truck and it worked fine. I noticed he had very bad water spots on his back window so I grabbed an orange pad and the shr and started to buff. I spread it on and it worked fine, then I increased the speed to work it in and within seconds it made a horrible noise and shot the pad and backing plate off of the pc. Now i have a second backing plate with stripped threads and put a gouge about 1 1/2 inches long in his back window. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

I keep reading about someone doing a helicopter, who did one? was it frank?

Im not sure what song exactly, but it was comparable to nails on a chalk board or someone using dental tools.

Its his personal pickup, by farm truck I meant its used about 90-95% for farming. I think the real challenge is going to be my moms yukon xl with about 130,000 miles of kid hauling.

I just sprayed mine with apc, then scrubbed them with a brush and rinsed. They look brand new.... but this was the first wash lol

You should have taken a picture with the bottle and entered it into the contest

Adam's is sending me a new backing plate. I just want to make one suggestion, can you change the hold music lol. I was only on hold for about 5 seconds.... but it was a long 5 seconds.

That's wild, got any pictures?

Of the threads or the truck?

After

Today I was finishing up my stepdads truck and my pad and backing plate shot off the pc. After further inspection I found that the threads on the backing plate stripped off. What should I do?

whhheeeewww those are some expensive wheels on that car.

shr is done, Im going to finish it tomorrow. Ive been slacking lol.

wow either your camera date is a tad off, or your dad got an 06-08 ram way before anyone else
