E-7200 is the part # from the M company.. I sell them at the store and use it at home. I never start more aggressive than 1500, and always cross hatch your grits. Hope that helps

Checking with the city for their noise ordinance is not a bad idea either. I know ours is 8am to 10pm for most things. So I wont start the tools till then, later on Sunday.

Did he happen to mention what kind of paint? Was is traditional single stage or more modern base/clear system? This is something you need to know as older single stage has no clear at all. That is something that will greatly effect how you polish it.

Food for Thought:
Insurance
What's your time worth to you? Do not undervalue yourself. IF someone is cheap, don't let them bust you down. Simply point them towards the nearest fancy car wash, and be on your way.
Agreed, if they are cheap they are not worth your time & effort...
Insurance is relatively cheap too, way cheaper that your out of pocket expense of wrecking someone vehicle.

Everyone I know is a cheap bastard. I tried to detail my buddies massively swirled Mazdaspeed 3 for $50 just so I could get more experience on bad paint and he declined lol.
Consider yourself lucky.
Just a thought, if hes your buddy, then do what I do.
Do the job for free, just get him to help you with the little stuff, and bring the food and beverages. Take tons of B&A pics, have him give you props on any social networking sites hes on, take some of your cards etc.
I have done 4 or so vehicles like this, in fact both of my cousins have recently acquired new vehicles, well one new, one beat to death but I will do both for an EXTREME discount if not free just to get my name and skills into their circles.
Just how I spread my name..

I have my cards on the counter at work and had a customer ask me what I use, and got basically the same response. "I can use OTC stuff and old tshirts and get the same if not better results" he told me. Then offered to have me come look at his weekend cruiser. Well to quote Dylan..
It looks like he washed it with a bucket of playground sandSo agreed, there is no educating nor need to waste time trying to with people like this.
In the end I think it works better to Adam's advantage.. Park my Adamized ride next to Mr OTC and see who gets more ooohs and ahhhs..

Safe trip Greg! Hope all goes well for you and the family!

Nice Option!

I use the Trim and Lug Brush on the interior (separate from the one I use on the exterior), to get all the vents and crannies and knooks.
Mook
I have 3 of them.. 1 for wheels, one for exterior trim/emblems etc. and one for the interior.

Does it really matter what it is? As an Adam's addict it will more than likely make its way to my house. The weather being crappy for months has me down, this alone has picked up my spirits! Excited!

Mook I didn't see what you applied to the wheels, was it I&O, SVRT, or Squirrel Juice?
