Ok. grabbed a fresh wool pad and did a large section. Third pic is after the new wool pad and before the foam polishing. After the foam polishing pad it looks much better (The first two pics) Both pads still on the beast. I tried before I saw your suggestion telling me again to try the...

Best pics I can get. Extreme close-up. Scratch pattern is consistent over the whole panel even though it can only bee seen right where the sun is hitting it. Easker to see by eye in the garage. The large radius more random scratches I didn’t really notice in the dimmer light. The tiny small...

3D ACA 510

I’m so frustrated right now. Thought it was going well and now I’ve got a roof loaded with RO scratches and I have no idea what it’s from… Appears that they are a result of after I ran the compound with the wool pad, but I don’t know how to isolate what caused the issue or how to fix. Seemed...

Feels safer with the 3401 RO… Slower I know but it looks like it will get the scratches out. I was wondering until now if I would have to use the Rotary even though I’ve seen folks say they use a RO. Only experience I have with a Rotary is using it recently when tackling that polished...

I wish I had found your site sooner and I would have already been through one. I’ll have to figure out how to make it happen one of these days. (Even though it will be after all the damage has been done.):LOL: Even so, I still have my 68 Cougar I’ll be staring on next so at least it can look...

Well, dipped my toe in the water this morning. I started with a test section on the back of my cab which will be hidden behind the bed. Fortunately that is one spot that for some reason is among the worst for texture, so a good spot to practice. Think I was going too fast there and got a dry...

Great tip. thank you.

Hate to hear of your problems with them and the fallout but folks with your obvious ethics, determination, and meticulousness always land on their feet and end up ahead in the long run. If I hadn’t already purchased the 3D ACA 510 & 520, I would be buying the Dr B products. I like your...

I wish I was as confident. I’m fairly sure I’m going to burn through, leave sanding marks and otherwise destroy the end result of what has been a multi year restoration. :ROFLMAO: :rolleyes:

Glad I watched this. Thought I was all set to go but looks like I need to order one of the thinner micro-hook interface pads… All I had purchased was the thicker soft foal pads. Getting ready to try my first cut and buff on a single-stage paint job I sprayed last fall on my old F100. I put...

I noticed this, the Edge Sanding, and How to Dry Sand to Remove Orange Peel video posts all come up with “video not available” messages... Broken links or outdated videos that have been removed Intentionally? Just an FYI. I’ll try a search direct from your Youtube channel tonight or tomorrow...

Well, just an update for anyone that might be interested. I taped off a small section and attacked it again with the Flex Rotary and a LC wool pad. Used Mother’s compound this time. Moved consistently slow and with more than 50% overlap. Three horizontal passes alternating with vertical...

Even if you did post it in a FB group, you would have to repost it at least a couple times a week after the same questions keep coming up. :ROFLMAO: Even with the rudimentary search function, nobody uses it. I’m a member of a lot of FB groups only because I can’t find the subject a more in...

Well, if the forum moderators aren’t there because they want to be and have a true interest in the subject then it never works well IMHO. I have a lot of interests and hobbies, and love a good discussion forum. Started and ran one myself many years back. Unfortunately they are being killed...

I was thrilled to have found this site after having no luck gaining full access to the other two sites that I had browsed and searched (but never posted) in previous years. I know it’s a lot of work for the forum Owner/Admin, and just dealing with the users and their sometimes childish antics...

Of all the things I do with my vehicles and restorations, “detailing” is probably the task I’m least enthused with…;):LOL::ROFLMAO: It is however a necessary evil and I like to do things myself. Are you a detailing pro or just a hobbyist maintaining your rides? Sorry Chilly, I should take this...

Cool. Which town?

I tried getting access to post on the other two sites for weeks with no success. Tested the accounts but never got a follow-up email indicating I had full access to being able to actually make a post… Checked my spam folders and everything to be sure I wasn’t missing something. I did notice...

Saved to watch later tonight. Thanks yeah, no doubt any of these pads I’ve used on aluminum can‘t ever be used on anything else…
