Junkman's F.A.Q's! (Frequently Asked Questions)

[Junkman2008]

Hey boys and girls, I am starting this thread to address all of the common questions that I get on what seems like a daily basis. This thread will contain a ton of information, and this first post will continue to grow as I continually add videos and write-up on things that I often get asked. Thus, you want to subscribe to it as the addition of information will grow as quick as I can knock out the videos and write-ups.

 

That's the theme of this thread so here we go!

 

 

Junkman's Alternative to 2-Bucket Washing - The Video!

 

The title says it all. This is how I wash my car when I don't have time to wash it properly.

How to Perfect "Moving" the PC-7424XP and the Flex 3401VRG at the Proper Tempo

 

Okay boys and girls, this video series is a first, and unlike anything that you will see anywhere else on the web. This video series concentrates on my technique of working both polishers, with the sole concentration being on how fast I move them across the paint. Again, this is strictly my technique as I do it when using any of these polishers to work on paint. Other folks may do it differently and that is fine but this is the way I do it.

 

So if you are using the PC and my technique which consist of:

 

• 9-14lbs of pressure including the weight of the polisher
  
• Speed setting of 5
  
• 3 pea-sized drops of polish. With the Flex, I use a thin bead of polish that circles the pad. The Flex requires more polish than the PC.
  

 

 

These videos will address how fast you should move the polisher. The way that I figured out how to get this across will probably crack you up but hey, we will all be on the same page if you are using my technique. Once you get through the videos, you will probably want to download this file so that you can get your practice on.

 

Here are the videos!

... OK then, here comes the BATHROOM SCALE! Now between 9 and 14 lbs, is your rule more pressure for more correction? That is, 14 lbs for the most correction and 9 lbs for lighter correction? Or is it more complicated than that?

 

No, it's no were near as complicated as you're trying to make it. It's 9-14 pounds of pressure, PERIOD. It doesn't matter how much damage or what kind of damage, 9-14 pounds of pressure is the amount of pressure that you use when using my technique. Remember what I say in my videos, it's not rocket science so don't try and make it rocket science.

Good to hear A.J. I thought that I was the only one that over thought everything.

Do not wax or polish.... you can clean with soap and water, use detail spray or waterless wash as needed.

 

If you get some chalky or uneven looking spots (common with matte paint) you can use Super VRT to even it out again. Seems odd to use tire dressing on paint, but it works!

 

You'd also be safe to use Quick Sealant on it for protection should you choose to go that way.
