Well.... last night after work, I went out and started on my LGT. As some of you know, I got some pretty significant hail damage back in June (620 dents ). I had PDR work done and they sucessfully got all the dents out, but in the process of moving around the car and working on the dents, some light scratches were put in the finish. Some of the swirling was already there from my weekly washings of the car over the past few years and some was from the recent dent repair work. Anyhow... I decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy a buffer, bonnets and pads, and compounds and freshen up my finish. I'd never done this before, but I've see others do this kind of work so I figured I'd give it a try.... Anyhow... I worked from 5 PM till 10:30 last night and completed the hood, roof, doors, and rear quarter panels. This morning, I went out and finished the trunk, spoiler, and rear bumper. I'm doing the system in three stages... Fine swirl remover, extra fine swirl remover, and finishing off with Mequires NXT Tech Wax (liquid). The NXT is actually a synthetic polymer sealer... and not actually a wax, per se. Overall, I am REALLY pleased with the results. I was able to remove almost all of the swirling and fine scratches. Some of the deeper stuff is still there... but you've really got to know where it's at and look for it. I also have some acid rain spots that I was not able to remove. I only used a fine swirl remover (#2), so a more aggressive one might remove those. I'm really happy, though... The paint looks much much deeper and has a "wet" look to it that I haven't had for at least a year.

37 going on 12 (at least that's what the wife says!)

I was just screwin with ya.... I actually paid $290 for my Sony BDP. And they will play CD's, BD's, and regular DVD's.... just FYI.

Casey... I'm not going to be available on Monday aft. after all.... sorry... something has come up.

Mike Rowe is a cool dude. I'd like to meet him sometime for a beer.

I might be interested if you want an old muscle car. Where is this located?

In for later.... can't see the vid at work!

What Porter Cable are you using, Hob?

Not as good as my Blu-Ray.

Yeah... she needs a resto but she is all original. My wife's great aunt purchased her back in Nov. 1965. Black 2dr. post car with red interior. L-6 car w/ Powerglide (Jetaway) tranny.

I might come out as well if you guys don't mind a new guy (to meets.. not to the board) showing up....

Welcome... nice cars!

Yeah... LGT's have AVCS..... on the intake cam's, just like your STi. The new ('08) STi's have AVCS on the intake and exhaust camshafts....

Nice!

You wanna play... you gotta pay.... sometimes.... Its a fact.

I don't get the whole "upconverting" thing. It still isn't HD.

Sorry to hear that Linn is going to get drug through the mud. I've only met him once or twice... but he seems like a nice kid. The Camaro is very nice as well (he whipped my ass at NTR for a few passes). I hope they don't crush the car or anything stupid like that. Overall, I'm just glad that that nobody was injured (or worse) and I hope that maybe people learn from this. The police levels are crazy out there now. I don't street race.. but I do like to drive agressively (quick starts and spirited driving)... and I'm now getting attention that I never used to get.

'Cause I'm Rick Jayyyyymes, BIATCH! Bump....

Well... I honestly am a little surprised. I'd like to try and do this sometime. Wednesday nights at Papa-Boos.

Sure... right after you come to a function with some of my friends whom are gay. I'll take you up on that... I can't stand people who claim to be religious.... yet show no tolerance, understanding, or kindness towards others. If people would live their own lives the way that they feel is right... and stop judging others... the world would be a better place. "Religious" people persecute and condemn others so that they might feel more righteous and superior to them... to make themselves more sure of their own salvation. The most religious.. and I mean a devoted and honest.... people I have ever known live their lives to the highest standards, show compassion for others, and avoid persecution and passing judgement on others.
