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.

At least you are getting practice on the same color! When you get the Pontiac all shiny, you'll be ready for the Camaro.

Hey Bob, just a fun fact about this forum. If you type say... "MS.S" (without the period), it will "auto-correct" to MSS

Proper pressure with the flex (IMO) is closer to 9 than it is to 14 and when you factor in the weight of the machine itself, on a horizontal panel its not much pressure at all.

 

 

Exactly. I found that just the weight of my hand on the maching was enough with little to no pressing.

I have had back issues all my life. 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.

oh ya, definately get a bathroom scale so you can see what 9 - 14 lbs of pressure is. What I thought was 9 - 14 was actually 63 lbs!

 

Only a little off. Your back won't hurt as much if you let the machine do the work. I've only tried one car, but I couldn't figure out why everyone was so sore - too much pressure.
