2010vette

I've watched alot of your videos, but I haven't seen anything about using the pc(getting one soon) on non flat areas. I have a 2010 Dodge Challenger and the hood is anything but flat, plus it has 2 Hemi badges, 2 Vents and 2 washer nozzles. Also any tips on bumper covers, door handle areas and pillars would be great.

It's all pretty much common sense (I don't do rocket science because I'm not a rocket scientist), but I plan to address your questions in a upcoming video series.

Hey Junkman; Is The video series you mention here still in the works?

My first post in this thread explains all that.

I went back to the first post. That pad looks like a Dagwood:banana:

Actually, I never made those videos. What I did was use max pressure the way Adam does with a speed setting of six. It really ate up the pads but it got rid of all the scratches. Since I was in the warehouse, I wasn't worried about running out of pads.

 

You can find all my videos in The Junkman's Corner.

Like how many pads ?

It's all pretty much common sense (I don't do rocket science because I'm not a rocket scientist), but I plan to address your questions in a upcoming video series.

Upcoming video series:lurk:

Thanks Ryan; I've got a little place on my hood will give this a try.

There's really nothing different about working on the side of the car. One thing that you will notice about working a contour is that the polisher will want to slow down. Thus, you have to be cognizant of your pressure when going over these areas (you want to make sure that you are not applying too much pressure which will cause the pad to stop spinning).

 

You will use the exact same techniques that you use on the top of the car but you have to support the polisher. If you get into a area where the size of the pad is an issue, you switch to the 4" focus pads. Does that make sense?

It makes sense, I'll just have to give it a try. Thanks Dave

AJ, Will you give some thought about doing a video on how to use the PC on a C6 Corvette? Preferably a ZO6 or a grand sport. Most of what I see is just on flat panels like the hood. I will soon be using my PC on my Grand Sport for the first time, and as i look at the side and front ect. Not sure about the best way to attack all the contours. I'm sure people will get tips they can use on other cars also. Just a thought. Thanks.

Hello Dave and welcome to the forum.

 

By "under the seams", I mean that I will open the door (for example), and tape the seam so that once the door is closed, the dust cannot get into the cracks of the seams. I don't put the tape on the outside of the seam's edges where I will be buffing unless I am using a rotary polisher.

 

The picture that you copied is 1024x768. That is the size picture that I always post so you are seeing the actual size that I posted. Our forum is not setup to automatically re-size images.

Oh I see you just tape to one side and let it hang across the gap. Doses the dust just stick to the tape then? Then remove the tape and wipe the edge of the panal to get product off. Or do you put a piece of tape on both sides? Or am I over thinking maybe it's bed time:D

When I said that I tape the cracks, what I meant was that I put the tape under the seams of the car to keep product from getting in the cracks, not to protect the edges. Thus, my edges get polished like the rest of the car. I don't have or want swirly edges.

 

 

Revive FTW!

Hi Junkman I am new to the forum, but have been reading it and watching your videos for some time. Not sure what you mean here about putting the tape under the seam. How do you get it under? Do you ever just open the door or what ever after your done, and wipe them down? well this is my first question, more later. And thanks for your help. Dave ps how do I get this post to go to normal size. when I go back to view it? It larger then the rest.
