You won`t believe what I got today . . .

**norahcrv** · 09-03-2004, 08:09 PM

On my way home today, on a whim, I stopped by a local auto wrecker & asked if they might have a hood I could purchase for practice. I think the guy is still laughing & scratching his head, but he called back to the yard, and another fellow came up and asked me what I wanted it for, so I went through the whole expanation for him (new buffer, want to practice on something other than my new car, etc.). He went off and came back a few minutes later with a beautiful hood which he then carefully loaded in the back of my V, and it`s now waiting in the side yard for our practice sessions with PC & products.
Apparently my request was entertaining enough, because they even refused to take any money for the hood!
It`s going to be a great weekend!!!

I think PAC should sell car hood as well

, hmm I wanna get one on to test durability of sealant/waxes etc :-p

Chee,
I agree, they should at least sell 16 x 16 panels or something (just thinking of the shipping logistics of a full hood)

PS - Where`d the Pink Panther go? Was Fuzz busy again?

The panther has retired, it realized it`s not as smooth as Fuzz

NOTHING is as smooth as THE FUZZ!!!

You`ll discover at once that there is really no need for practice with a PC. They are truly beginner-proof. You just spread a little product on the pad or on the surface, spread it around so it doesn`t splatter, turn on the PC and go. You can`t do harm with the PC but you`ll be able to use a polish pad and SSR 2.5 or 3 and polish out some pretty bad scratches.

Now`s the time to get a rotary, make a scratch or two and try getting them out with the rotary. There are inexpensive rotary`s available but make sure it has a variable speed control.

I find myself being drawn further into the dark side - But I MUST RESIST!!

I just can`t justify the rotary right now, as the only two cars I have to work on are not in that bad a shape. But maybe someday . . . .
