Ok so......Playing with the Flex

[Maxspeed]

Ok so....my car is clayed and today is Swirl & Haze remover day.

 

I am adapting the Junkmans technique to my own

 

1. Have lots of Advil, your back will hurt. Have an Ipod.

 

2. Spray pad, add product, spray again. Use setting 1 to spread product instead of feathering trigger. Then choose 5.

 

3. When polish starts to flash spray pad again. Use the junkman's speed but sometimes go a little faster just to help back unstiffen.

 

4. Use Waterless wash to remove product with a MF towel to check work.

 

Since I am starting with SnH and not Severe SnH I. don't have any since my Camaro is brand new and figured I wouldnt need it. I have to acccept the fact that some of the marks are probably deeper than I will be able to remove and just accept that fact and move on. I have spent 1 hour doing 3/4 of the hood. Otherwise I will spend all day on the hood.

 

 

Yes, I know I am using McQuires for the spray. I am saving the good Stuff for my Camaro.

 

Here is my set up.

[Maxspeed]

As I got towards the end, I found that I had enough polish that I could spritz and do another large section.

 

I would let it flash, spray or maybe add a little more sSnH, then let it dry and wipe off with a MF.

You are gonna love love love that FMP. Stuff is amazing - the more I use it the more I like it.

[Maxspeed]

I spent around 7 hours with Swirl n Haze today. I know FMP witll be quicker but realistically how long should it take.

An hour or so? You have done the correction, so the hard part is out of the way.

[GXPimpin]

If you need a little more practice before the Camaro let me know ill drop mine off.... should be pretty familiar to you lol

Thanks. That's what I figured, the hard part is done. Do I just apply it until it flashes? With the SnH I would apply until it flashed then spray the pad to bring it back to life.

Thanks for the offer GX. After I finished the hood I figured I had practiced enough, but I was commited at that point.

Work it until it flashes, then, if it looks good move on. Lately I have been applying polish and working a section, reapplying and working 1 or 2 more sections. Then spritzing the pad with DS and working the the next panel without applying more polish.

Its the leaning over that's the problem. I am letting the maching do the work. I experience the same pain leaning over the sink doing the dishes.

 

lol exactly...

 

tall man problems.

First off, I love how the Camaro sleeps on a blanket!

 

Second, it should take about an hour to do the front clip of your car with one step of polish, max.

 

Is it just me, or does it seem the step with Severe Swirl Remover may have been skipped? That would cut a few hours off, IMHO....

People are always saying to go least aggressive first. Bull hockey. Time is money, and with the significant difference in the time saved of doing 1 pass with the SSR or two passes with the SHR, I'll take a little more of my clear off to save that much time. You don't always need to use the SSR, or the SHR for that matter. So when you get down to it, you are just (hopefully) using FMP for the rest of your corrections.

Yes I did skip the Severe SnH. I bought your Premuim Flex Kit for my 2011 Camaro which I bought in Oct. Being new with only faint swirls I swapped 2 items for the SSH and Pad since I didn't need it for my Camaro. I was using my Grand Prix as a learning experience to become familiar with the process and learn how to use the Flex.

 

I think I spent around 12 hours claying, 7 hours SnH, and 1.5 FMP. The GM at my dealrship was very impressed with the result.

If I had SSH I would have used it. Dont need it for my Camaro.

[Adam]

WOW! You pretty much have stock in our little company now, and I hope to exceed expectations!

 

Shoot me an email, and I'm going to ship you some SSR and a Green pad... on my dime. (really, it's your dime after you bought all that!)

I should of gotten a flex premium kit myself when I started this a year ago however Im sure I've invested enough money by buying directly from Adam's Polishes and Eric@ThompsonRacing.us to equal two full kits or more, lol. What can I say im obsessed with this stuff.

I want only the BEST products to ever touch my Camaro! Money is no object~!

[Maxspeed]

That's one of the best little secrets!

 

Is today FMP day?

 

Well, I have been doing SnH for the last 6 hours and I still have the rear quarter and trunk, so maybe tomorrow will be FMP day.

[Team Adam's]

There is a trigger lock on Flex! Who would have guessed?

I did a lot of research before using it. I just figured even after reading there would strill be some learning and getting used to it.

 

you must just be that much of a BA haha

Right to the Flex. Never used a PC or Flex before. Not much of a learning curve. It's not as mysterious as I would have thought.

 

Idk to me its all about being confident and reading up alot before jumping in. glad you got the hang of the flex fast, your gunna love it once you get to finishing that car off.

Did you jump right to the flex or did you have a PC before? love those red rides btw. Once its all finished theres nothing like standing back and looking at your work.

[Maxspeed]

Thanks Matt, GTK.

 

Doug, that's exactly why I am doing my Grand Prix.
