Team Adam's Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Dylan, What speed were you using the FMP at on the Flex? Thanks Speed 5 for the mostpart... the work time gets really short with FMP if its warm/dry like it is today so backing the speed down keeps it open a little longer.

Team Adam's Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well... was able to get both passenger side doors plus front and rear fenders completed. The entire truck got a quick coat of BG and APW just to keep it protected. I'll be stripping one panel at a time from here on out to keep working.

TK427 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Did you use the flex on the lower half of the doors? And what do you use for the very top parts of your doors, Porter w/ 4inch pads perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yes I used the flex on the lower half. and yes... 4" on the PC for anywhere the Flex won't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryW Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 So I have a confession to make. I've been a neglectful detailer... its been 5+ months since the last time my truck received a complete detailing. Truth be told its barely been washed like it should. Now before you start throwing things, its actually for a couple of reasons: 1) Product testing to the point of failure (namely Quick Sealant and a wax blend) 2) Accusations from an individual that the products aren't that good b/c my truck never gets bad enough to need more than minor work. Well this thread will be a running documentation of bringing my truck back from the brink. You might even remember awhile back I mentioned I let the dealership wash it when it was in for a warranty issue. I wanted to make fully sure that the paint was in rough shape for this. The lengths I go to for this forum I hope this thread can be something entertaining as well as informative/helpful. I'll be performing the detail over the course of probably a few weeks, working a little bit at a time, and I'll do my best to document in depth the more interesting areas - namely paint correction - as I go. Lets start with a point of reference to show what the condition was before the neglect started and when I was staying on top of the maintenance. a quick walk around of what I started with today... more documentation of the before condition coming. <iframe width="960" height="720" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UAfQQ_lKaG0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I love this photo next to the wall,, really great job,, photo sets off the truck.

Team Adam's Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yea... this has been on the back burner... 'work' and then details like the one yesterday or a Lexus LFA earlier this month (pics to come) have taken priority. I'm also currently considering unloading the Avy for something new... we'll see. When things slow down a bit here I'll resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things slow down a bit here I'll resume. Man... You just can't keep them very long... Maybe a Camaro this time? I know you won't stray from GM to another domestic so that's my guess... I need SO BADLY to get my car done. It's even got (are you sitting down?) bird poop on it... UGH! I know that'll take some time to correct, but I've been too busy spending one on one time with my son (Eli) to care. Oh that and the whole new house thing... lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3PedalMINI Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Woah, did you ever finish your project before selling the Avalanche? i imagine he put on a coat of BG and then traded it in at night Nah it looked 100 times better im sure then the trashed vehicles they see going through their. I hope he got a premium trade in for it being in such good shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
