  1. I did try sanding with 3000 but it really didn't help much. It still had much deeper swirls and scratches
  2. Hey guys, im not gona be on much anymore. Got a new job and detailing is really picking up so im only gona go on wheni have free time. But I did finish the mustang after 40 hours total. 37 hours in just polishing. Well here it is, hope you like it as much as I did. BTW I did get a new truck tho!
  3. Thanks! Yea even with that serious heat it was taking forever. There are some spots on the car where he wetsanded by hand and those are correcting much easier than every where else.
  4. Yea i got those but theyre gen 3 pads and i really like working with the gen 4 green pad. So im just seeing if theres anyway i can get a couple, if not then ill work with the gen 3 pads
  5. I'm wanting to buy a couple of these if anybody has some extra.
  6. Haha went and got the finger xrayd at lunch.. its broke.
  7. Thanks guys, its hard but its SOOO worth it. His grandpa has several classic cars and couple other guys are waiting to see if i can bring that car back to life. So i should have plenty more business after this! Going to get my finger xrayd at lunch, pretty sure its broke.
  8. Thats what im saying!! 8inch i believe, not sure.
  9. Well this weekend i started on a mustang that my friend rebuilt and repainted himself. He told me was going to wetsand the whole car with 2000 before i polish, so i was like ok cool, ive taken out 2000 just fine before. Man was i wrong on this car, i dont know if its the way he sanded or if its just a REALLY hard clear coat. I planned on doing the car with Adams New 1 and 2 but i wasnt able to. Why not? Because it didnt do much correcting on this clear. I tried everything i had, Adams 1 and 2, And other products with several different foam and mf pads, nothing worked. I was getting so mad because it wouldnt work and i knew there was only one more thing to do to actually get it out...Rotary with a wool pad. So i went and got my Dewalt rotary and went to Oreillys and bought a wool pad. EVEN with all that running all the way up to 3500 rpms it still takes 5-6 passes to get it perfect. And of course there was buffer trails so i finished each panel with Adams Finishing Polish on the white foam pad. I only have about 30% of the car done and im already 20 hours in just paint correction. On the next car i do ill be able to actually give a good write up using just Adams 1 and 2, sorry i wasnt able to this time. Had everything ready to test out Adams 1 and 2 From here it doesnt look too bad after 2 passes of each But its still really bad This is when i http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj500/J_Greenroyd/3-5_zps27b9fe32.jpg[/img][/url] This is after i got the rotary and 105, still taking SEVERAL passes. Btw this was the first time ive ever used a rotary with a wool pad Pretty hazy, havent finished yet with adams #2 At first i was terrified of this thing, but now im really comfortable with it Still a couple deep ones Working my way around the hood. 6hours just on the hood Corrected but not finished with adams #2 yet Completely finished 50/50 Then i had an accident... I was using the rotary at 3200 rpms, my headphones were ran thru my shirt but i had taken them out my ears for a second to talk. Lean over to far and the rotary caught those and tore me up. Thank god it didnt hit the car, somehow i pulled away fast enough to get away from the car but i had the trigger lock on so it wouldnt stop. The sound of those headphones getting tangled up and hitting scared the crap out of me. My friend ryan finally unplugged the rotary and it finally stopped. I guess the part of the headphones that plugs into the phone hit my finger and stomach before it completely ripped off because it tore my finger up. Half of my pointed finger is completely purple and is still throbbing. Theres a bunch of blood under my finger nail and its swollen pretty bad. It managed to cut open my stomach a little bit too. Only pic i have is of my arm Opened the garage for a second to catch these gorgeous pics And thats it! Thanks for looking, im going to finish the car this week and ill post more pics as i progress.
