Welcome to the IHoP v.2

I need to step up my car cleaning game.

I have a rotary buffer, clay bar, foam cannon, soap...but am interested in perspective on pads/compounds that you all like. In particular for swirl removal on a black SUV.

I have access to a dual-action orbital as well. My buddy Josh has a Flex. I have a feeling that my results on a black car will be better if I use that....but since I need pads/compound I thought I should ask here.

Autogeek gives me a fucking headache. Almost as bad as mp3car.com. Seriously unsearchable.

Eastwood and others have a Norton kit called liquid ice. Everything you need.

I don't really need the kit, I do have probably 10-15 pads. Compound I am completely out of, I have no pad washer, and can't say I am a fan of the rotary on black paint. Perhaps it is because I don't clean the pads enough though.

Was your recommendation of Eastwood's products independent of the kit? I've always used 3M because I usually get it at cost at the company store, but that favor I don't feel like calling in atm and all my shit is mostly empty.

I love 3M as well. I've just had great success with the Norton kit, even on black. It's priced competitively, it's quick, and it works well.

So... The fucking rail is 2 inches too long or so.

Tried to take out the old 2x4 and the screws were so tight it broke a bit on my drill, I started to use an extractor and the head snapped off. I'm just going to cut the thing off tomorrow and start fresh.

The wood in my house and garage is some crazy god Damn hyper wood. It is unbelievable how strong it is.

Never seen anything like it in my life.

It's probably rough sawn oak. Do yourself a favor and buy a decent impact and a set of impact bits and it will save your life.

Oak 2x4?!?!? Crazy.

It's god a slight reddish tone to it.

How old is the garage?

[dem beats 1,223]

No one EVER uses anything but the garage door at my house lol

When you have a ballin garage door.....

[dem beats 1,223]

I think the home was built in the Kate 50's or early 60's

[topgun 262]

My drill is bitchin.

The screws are shallow flatheads. I switched to a hardened bit and turned on the impact setting and it just mangled the screw. I just have to cut the wood out and put on a new bracket.

 

Dollars to donuts that is the hammer drill setting.  

[///M5 2,833]

Which will mangle screws

[dem beats 1,223]

Well I tried every setting. From gentle to Herculean Hammer drill.

Just going to cut the brackets out and save myself hours of agony

[dem beats 1,223]

Nothing ever just works for me it seems.

:-D

At least I get to learn a ton.

I would really like to celebrate my extreme come back sales weekend.... But that ain't happening.

This location is an emotional rollercoaster.

[///M5 2,833]

Just ordered a G4.

[///M5 2,833]

Comes with free 128gb memory card

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Fuck, you order a jet and all you get is a free memory card? Talk about rape.

Yep, it's oak.

Did that yesterday. Ended up having to have a man on the inside put one aside for me.

Since my phone will be exchanged I have to wait and do a physical swap.

Free pussy too when you have a private jet

That's nuts.

Talk about overkill.

[dem beats 1,223]

So... While they allowed suppressors they also allowed the use of drones by the police......

Lol

I went to the store. Would have done it sooner, but didn't realize the pre-order was open.

[///M5 2,833]

Still miffed they stopped the drone beer delivery service for ice fish houses.

Pre order only started yesterday.

I'm so excited for this phone, sure it's a nice step up, but having a cracked screen has been a nightmare.

Total bullshit.

[///M5 2,833]

They also said when it rolls into the store they will have real glass screen protectors.

[dem beats 1,223]

You order the tan leather?

[dem beats 1,223]

Going to look perfect next to the saddleback bag.

:-D
