So today I got back to work. I've got 3 cars left to do after this one. I decided today that I really need to purchase a Flex or a real rotary. Working with paint that's never been polished before is rather taxing using a UDM. I still notice some RIDs after I've gone through a two step polishing phase, and I still don't get the results I'm looking for. Tomorrow I will finish up the interior and go with a coat of Z2 pro and Natty's red. Man I wish my Dodo Juice was here. Process: ONR Z18 Clay w/PB's S&W 106 w/Orange SSR1 w/White PB's Polish w/Carnauba Wiped the top down with PB's leather stuff Z16 on the tires S&W helped clean up the engine bay. I need to wipe down the FRC's and the intake in the morning. I'll post more pics tomorrow of the final steps.
My pops had two GTOs. The first one I only have a couple memories of but the Judge I remember well I told on him a couple times for doing smokeshows with it and I wasnt allowed to go for rides anymore.
I understand the frustration with the marring correction process. Correction can be obtained through persistance with a PC or UDM. Yet speed is a two edge sword. On the one hand it is nice to be able to correct with a few passes but when it goes past the corrective stage to the damage stage the remorse that will ensue is overwhelming. Especially when one is doing a detail free gratis. I purchased a Vector rotary for 75 dollars. It has slow start, six speeds, trigger lock, and is not tooooo heavy. Chicago or Harbor Freight have cheaper models and I have read that they work relatively well. Unless you are Oprah or Rachael Ray money would seem to be a consideration. Purchasing a cheaper rotary to become familiar with how a rotary works does not mean that quality work cannot be obtained. Of course if money is not a consideration the purchase of a Flex, Metabo(my personal wishlist favorite), Hitachi, or DeWalt would be the obvious choice. Keep up the good work. I love to see the changes of the paint corrections but more importantly I really enjoy your ability to learn to correct!!
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I've decided that going with the Flex would be a worthwhile investment. Lucky for me I have friends that have some DD's that need a lot of work and would be great learner cars...LOL Just something about buying the same thing twice bothers me. So today I finished up the 70. I forgot to take pictures of the interior. I'll get some afters for you guys tomorrow.
