Yea, you folks need to title these pics so that we will know what we're looking at!

Yea, we did put it away! That's a great shot of the USS Harry S. Truman!

Just give me a call. I had a nice model of this squadron when I was growing up that I assembled (back when you could buy glue and model airplanes). Mine was the VF-84 Jolly Rogers F-14 Tomcat. Can anyone guess why? That ship didn't look big enough to be a ACC from that angle. Wow, I remember those days like it was yesterday. Man, I wish we had digital cameras back in the 80's.

I have something in the works that may make it a little easier to understand.

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?

What ship is this?

Come on back. It's still here.

The fountain in front of my house. FOOD! The "Junky Club" Sandwich. Momma duck and her two kids keeping their beady eyes on the Junkman... Staging at the track in Atlanta. Giants will leave their toys laying anywhere... Intense cat. Babies and balls. Icicles outside my house. The beginning of fall in Kentucky. Mick Jagger, the fish. Old Glory in full bloom. Snow in the trees. Creepy spider. Ain't no buffing this out! Snow and ice storm... Louisville, Kentucky, my home.

Christina, you'll be deaf before you reach 19 with all that noise!

She says that to all the guys Ron.

You sound like you miss it Ron. Great picture by the way.

You definitely want to start with the PC. Definitely.

We are a dying breed!

Man, in one week, I look like Grady from Sanford & Son!

Hey, the Junkman's love is global when it comes to the ladies.

You need to check with UK retailers to get that one. I don't know if the model numbers and name is the same though. For example, the PC is called the DAS-6 over seas.

As I say to all the hotties, "How U doin'?" Looking good Miss Christina, but then I already knew that!

I would never put a time limit on when you should upgrade. For some people. they may only use their PC 4 times in a year. That would not be enough time to consider yourself experienced with the PC. You only upgrade if there is a need to do so and you are experienced enough with the PC to know when you should. The Flex is also not a necessary machine for everyone. If the paint on your cars is in the condition that the paint on mine is in, you would have no need for the Flex whatsoever. I can easily maintain my paint with the PC, which means that I am removing as little clear coat as necessary to do so. The key is that I properly maintain my paint and thus, I don't have to keep fixing it.

i c...

Maybe on a Ford. Chevy guys like doing it from behind.

Well, you are thinking a little hard about this. The reason that I do this (and that is not all the time by no means), is when I am working in conditions that are not ideal. Usually, this means that I am in direct sunlight on a hot day and the surface of the car is hot also. This causes the product to create a lot of dust and that is what I try and keep out of the cracks. No, the dust does not stick to the tape. The tape only keeps it from going all over the place inside the cracks. That's the only reason I do it and the only time I do it. When I am working in my garage, I seldom use tape unless I am covering up a sharp edge on an emblem which can instantly destroy a pad or I am using a rotary of factory or thin paint.

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.

You know you're going downhill when all of your hair is growing downhill with ya'! Landry's hair is growing in the opposite direction! Chris cleans up like a brand new penny! So Stephen, what were you dressed up as?
