Suggestion Giveaway: Black Pontiac G6

Tool suggestions are welcome too!

Thanks for mentioning that about super hard GM paint. I`ve run into that paint before and I`ll be ready for it. But I might pickup some RUPES MF pads since they`re on Vega Deals right now just in case.

With that, I`ll add the Rupes 4" MF pads to go along with the 75E HD (since the paint is in rough condition after all) and for a little added muscle maybe a FLEX L3403 rotary or the PE14-2.

I have never personally used rotaries (besides helping my dad when I was in elementary school and that doesn`t really count, so I`m not sure how I`d feel about using one with the risk of burn through, but if the paint is in poor condition and you know what you`re doing (which I bet you do Ray) I would think it could help reduce the time spent making it look great!

I tried to mention products / tools that others haven`t mentioned that I was interested in seeing tested out on the G6 but had somehow missed that Civicclutch beat me to the Rupes 75E - so my vote is leaning toward the HD model - but I`d love to see either used and I`d love to have one adorning my early Christmas tree

I`m sure you`ll pick up the Rupes 75E then. I know it`s your favorite tool.

I just thought of a few other great products that you should/could use!

How about the Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer or the Lake Country System 3000 Pad Washer? Got to keep those pads clean while you work! (Although I guess you could just use multiple pads) I personally spin my DA inside a 10-gal bucket after cleaning it to dry the pads and sure do get a lot of spray bouncing out of the bucket still!

With the paint in serious neglect, I`d think that anyone trying to improve it should have on hand a paint thickness meter to better locate thin areas to prevent accidental damage. One economical option is the HighLine Meter II - I haven`t used one or read much about them, but would love to learn more!

Ronkh - did you mean the Rupes Nano iBrid? That would be a very useful tool to have on hand! Probably better than the 75E for those tight & hard to reach areas.

::I have so much to learn about detailing::

I`d be interested to see either of the Nanoskin Autoscrub PRO Starter Kits used, especially the 6" DA one. Not sure how I feel about putting that material on a DA and then running it across the paint (with the lubricant of course) - seems aggressive. Then again, you may need that on this car!

You`re also likely to need a detailing apron like the Rupes Detailing Apron or the Megs Shop Apron. The mandolin kit above even comes with an apron!

You may also need a bright penlight to track down some pesky swirl marks. The Rupes Swirl Finder Pen Light should do nicely!

For the real serious paint correction job, I`m betting the the Rupes Bigfoot LHR 21 MarkII HD would be an absolute BLAST to test out... Too bad there`s not one listed online yet, but I did here your neighbor had one... Maybe there was only one since it got some signatures placed on it

(Is there an idea limit? If there is, I think I`m approaching it - or over haha... So many products I`d like to experiment with and you have such a great selection!)

I`m noticing a lack of tools from Flex or Mikita or DeWalt being mentioned... Is there something I don`t know? I know that many prefer something better than the Porter Cable DA even though I am pleased with mine. Maybe I`m missing something haha.

The more I read, the more I learn & it would seem that you`re a fan of Gyeon Wetcoat, so I wouldn`t be surprised to see you use that. But who knows you may switch it up and surprise us with Carpro Reload instead (which would go with CQuartz nicely).

Yeah, try out the new Reload formulation on a black car in the sun. CarPro said they went back to the original formulation. I would like to see if it works. If it is the original formulation it would be nice.

Megs MT300 with megs MF cutting pads or megs flat pads

Only a couple hours left to recommend anything! I already have most of what I`m going to use picked out. So try and think of any last minute additions!
