Seems like your pretty worried. If it concens you that much, look into buying a SCBA or a respirator -

Painted pinestripe removal?
Rains replied to Rains's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Yes Im positive there painted. Ive tried Paint correcting polish and some other aggresive conpound but to no luck. Claying also did not remove it. Again, some places on the truck I could use my finger nail but most of the stripe is being stubborn. Im not a fan of the sanding because it makes me nervous but at the same time, Its looking pretty funny looking riding around with parts of stripe missing,lol. -
My wife's 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe has painted pine stripping on it I want to remove. I have been successful in removing a small bit just by my fingertip but no more will come off. I am 100% positive its painted pinstriping and is on top of the clear. I have been doing a little research and found that most wet sand with 2000 grit sandpaper then buffing afterwards. Looking for any advice, personal experiences etc...

You Ask....Why Have We Removed Products from our Site?
Rains replied to Adam's topic in Company Info/Announcements
Adam, great hearing your honesty and integrity! Rich, your right on point. I spend MY hard earned money on Adams Polishes, not some brush or diddly applicator he may sell. I can go buy that stuff anywhere like you said. It just frustrates me to hear people on hear vent about how there so upset they cant get everything in the world from Adams like a one stop shop. Folks, this isn't Walmart. Its Adams POLISHES. My rides shine better than any other products out there could even think about. -
10-4 Thanks for the input! I will contact him to get one ordered!

Not bad at all! Nice. Thanks!

Hi Folks, Im fixing to purchase a Flex 3401 and wanted to see who you all recommended purchasing through. I see them on ebay for what seems like a descent price but didn't know if any dealers or anybody else would have one a little cheaper. A lightly used one would be great too if someone has one they want to get rid of. Thanks in advance

Techniques of the working by hand
Rains replied to Rains's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I have a PC and just ordered the 2 step a few days ago with micro pads. I do use my PC alot for the reason of saving my body, but as we all know theres some jobs that just require you to do by hand. Tights spaces etc...Im anxious to put the two step system on my truck hopefully this weekend. Im hoping to get a dripping wet look!! Cant beat a Platinum! -

Techniques of the working by hand
Rains posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
This question is mainly directed to those that have been doing this hobby for at least 10 years or better. Either professionally for a paycheck or in your driveway every weekend. I've been detailing cars now for several years as a enthusiast every weekend on my own cars. I now have been starting to branch out a little and doing some detailing for profit. (friends, neighbors etc....) On to my question, my shoulder and wrist are starting to show some signs of neglect from "wax on and wax off" over the last several years. I wonder sometimes how often my body will let me enjoy this hobby to the level I'm involved. What are some techniques some of use experienced detailers save your wrist and shoulder by working by hand. Avoiding Carpal Tunnel sx is priority!!! lol. Obviously working by DA is the answer, but sometimes working by hand on some cars is just needed. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot! -
Butterfly wax, LOL! awesome!
