Anyone watching Barrett-Jackson?
« on: January 14, 2009, 08:48:50 PM »
And anyone notice the condition of the paint on some of those cars? Some are in desperate need of a good polishing. You would think they would take care of that before an event this big.  :hs:

Glad I'm not alone.  LOL

I sit there either thinking "If it looks that bad on TV how bad must it be in person"  or "if they'd just give me 5 hours with that car"

Least aggressive product first = The MOST aggressive process (product/pad/machine speed) that will get the job done by removing the LEAST amount of paint, with the LEAST amount of work, in the LEAST amount of time.

I was watching one of the auctions a couple weeks ago and Barry Meguire and Mike Phillips are pushing SwirlX, then Mike wipes it on a hood of a Austin Healy that was totally swirled and then just wipes it off and exclaims that the swirls were gone  :lame: :hammer:

I think I found part of the problem the other night. Right before the cars roll up on the block there was a guy wiping them down with a towel of some sort. If they are wiping them down regularly, especially without the use of a QD, that could be part of the cause of the defects we're seeing.
