jimgallaher Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Had a couple of days off last week, so after a sudden rush of blood to the head I decided to wash the baby I then remembered I had bought some poorboys blackhole and some glaze cant remember the name at the moment. So 4 hours later after wash, chammy, polish, glaze and 2 coats of supernatural the baby looked awesome. Then she who must be obeyed came home and said it was obscenely shiny And I was insane to have spent 4 hours doing it !!! Luckily my arms were like jelly (I did it all by hand ) You sometimes wonder what goes on inside their little minds Anyway after going out for a nice long drive in the shiny obscenity, I did come round to her way of thinking as it was covered in a fine coat of salt, sore arms and 4 hours of toil all for naught Quote
BladesGrant Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Only 4 hours, you haven't done it right if you have only spent 4 hours!! Quote
Neilp Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 When you come to washing it again the salt will fall off very easily. I spent 13hours doing mines lol Quote
Husky Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 4 hours is nothing spent a whole weekend one summer, hurt for a week after Quote
Will370z Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 On the plus side it's quite a workout so you don't need to take a trip to the gym Quote
jimgallaher Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 yeah same thought crossed my mind, about the gym I mean. I did clay bar and polished with my new orbital polishing gizmo, so the finish wasn't too bad, I coulda spent longer buffing polish etc but I'm old and I didnt want the baby to be too obscene Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 that black hole glaze is great stuff. brilliant on black cars. Quote
Ricey Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 4 hours is nothing spent a whole weekend one summer, hurt for a week after +1.......my bloody arms were falling off and I had a groin strain the next day.........Megs G220 doesn't half get your hips moving Quote
jimgallaher Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 for future reference and to save my poor old arms, can anyone recommend which polishing/buffing pads to use with my Kestrel DA ? I dont want to mess my paint up with something too abrasive. Quote
Ricey Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Send Tim at Envy a PM mate - he'll sort you out with some pads Quote
doctor austin Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I spend 5 minutes and use a bucket of warm water and a sponge Quote
elfman Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I spend 5 minutes and use A bucket of warm water and a sponge :O:O:O sacrilege Quote
doctor austin Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 sacrilege maybe but for sure my car is always the cleanest in the work car park and often get comments to that effect, you see I clean it most days when its salty on the roads... Oh and I simply cant affort so much time polishing a car...I would rather drive the thing and all that! Quote
