Get to teach myself how to use my Porter Cable. I've watched AJ's (Junkman) vids multiple times and I think his technique is the way I'm going to go. I think I'll pop in the Adams DVD right now to compare the methods and figure out which I think would be better for me. Good thing I have afrer canvas with tons of swirls and scratches to start on and see the progress. My biggest concern is figuring out exactly when the polish flashes. I know it's when it starts to look greasy, like Vaseline, and the shine starts to come through, but it's hard to see this in videos, so we will see if I'm able to tell in person. I plan on just getting my technique perfected and knocking out the hood on my truck for now since I won't have time to do the entire truck in the time I have. It's pretty bad...hood ale may take a few hours
Plan on:
Washing the hood
Clay
SHR
(step up to Severe if I'm not getting the results, it's pretty thrashed)
FMP
Quick Sealant
Buttery
Yes, I know...my hood will look awesome and the rest of the truck will be dirty. Lol. Just doing this to get my technique down so when I do have time I can knock the entire truck out. Plus I want to get the SS corrected probably before the Coly since I DD the Coly.
Any tips or ideas to help my process, besides being patient?
