#9 Never Fails Me!

**imported_ajbarnes** · 03-24-2004, 08:30 PM

Below is a couple of the details I`ve done today. BTW, the below pics were taken with a digital camera, but I also took pics with a camera that has Kodak high definition film....(someone here inspired me to try it out.

). When I get the film developed, I will post those pics which also has several other detail pics on it as a comparison to digital pics.

Now, on to my buddy #9. The black Vitara you see below, I did it last week with a "wash & wax" type service, but I came back again today to recondition the paint. QEW`d, clayed, and I used an orbital buffer with #9 to apply, and hand to remove, which did an awesome job removing the swirls and giving the paint a great shine. On the second pic of the Vitara, those spots on the wheel wells are paint stains. The honda below was qew`d, clayed, and a one step NXT.

Nice work indeed! What did you use on the tires? They`ve got a nice matte finish to them.

NICE work man, rims look sweet on the vitara, got more pics?

Nice work. How do you maneuver the PC when going around tight areas of the vehicle--i.e. the fender flares, pillars, and in front of the sunroof?

Nice reflections! Just love those rims on the Vitara. :xyxthumbs

I have more pics, but they are on a camera with film, so as soon as I get it developed, I`ll put them up.:xyxthumbs

Thanks.

I have a 6" orbital, so maneuvering is not that bad nor dangerous. For really curvy, small, etc. type areas, I applied and removed by hand.

Hey Aj. I was wondering, were you able to get the same results using #9 by hand? I am thinking about picking up some #9, but I don`t have an orbital. Can I use it by hand?

Absolutely. I just recently starting using an orbital. I mainly work by hand, even after I got the orbital. But, I have always applied #9 by hand and still produced great results......very easy to use product.:up

Below is a benz I did a while ago using #9 by hand.....
