hey guys,i have just aio/sg last week my black truck but the

swirls is bothering me so i got the smr at pepboys,im thinking of redoing the truck pcl,aio,sg with using smr,can you damage the paint by doing this less than 5mos.my car is

new,what can you say about nicsand mt,isaw them at pep boys can you use mf to wash instead of a mittens/chenille?need

advise,swirls are lite....jason or anybody
 
3M SMR remover will not do any damage to your car when used by hand except when you use a rock as an applicator or snad paper to remove the product. I suggest you try this on a section of the siwrled car and apply it a few times, see if it does anything good. If the swirls are still there, move on up to the next level, 3M Perfect It III Machine gLaze, if that does not work, 3M finesse It II, now if all three of these products have no significant impact, reach for the big guns, 3M Perfect It Fine Cut Rubbing Compound.



Hazing from these abrasive product are not very common, but they do happen, especially on black trucks. Just use a finer and finer polish until they haze is reduced, and from the looks of it, Klasse AIO should remove the haze.



The entire 3M line should be available at NAPA autoparts, if they don't have the product, you can have them order it.



As for the washing, I would not recommend the NicSand MF towel for washing. There is just no room for the dirt to go, so you are looking at a sand paper effect with this towel. I would stick with chenille. I gotta pick up some chenille mitts, around 3 or 4 of them because I just lost mine somehow.



After the swirls are removed, jump right into Klasse AIO, Klasse SG.



Hope this helps

Before I retired from construction management, I worked 50 hour weeks, in an office or on construction jobsites for over 30 years.

Back in the 70's or 80's, when I would take a day of vacation during the work week, the roads were like a GHOST TOWN! Not a car in sight! Everyone was at work. (Presumably)

Fast forward 25-30 years.

I can't believe the amount of traffic out there, during the middle of the day, in the middle of the week!

I'm talking about traffic jams, like rush hour, where there used to be nothing! People lined up everywhere you go, getting mad, honking and flipping you off, etc. They're everywhere!:scared: And we're in MISSOURI!

My wife is a cashier in the local Hy Vee Grocery store... she tells me that the store has 10 cash registers with people lined up 10-deep all day long spending thousands! (Recession? What recession?)

Don't any of these people have jobs? :out: They can't ALL be retired (or unemployed). If they are unemployed, they're the richest unemployed group I've ever seen. They're all driving fifty-thousand-dollar-SUV's and spending lots of money at the store!:out::D:D:D

What do all these people do? Thoughts?
 
Good question Bill.

Many people work part-time plus today's working days and hours are not the typical Mon-Fri, 8-5 routine of the past. Some nurses work two 12 hour per-day shifts and then are off a day.

If you live in a college or university town there are students who may be out in the middle of the day.

Some people work evenings and weekends.

There are more work-at-home jobs than in the past.

Look at the difference between the number of cars your parents (family) had when you lived at home and think about the number of cars your current family owns.

We had one car that my dad drove until I was in high school. Then my mother got a car. She had never driven a car until she was 44 years old. I didn't get a car until I graduated from high school and I bought it myself.

Today lots of familys with children, who are of driving age, have their own automobile as soon as they pass their driver's test.
 
I have often wondered the same.
There are thousands of 500-700k homes and hundreds of million$+ homes. Where are these ppl getting this money from...
When I was growing up everyone lived in 2/3 bedroom homes. Me and my brother who is 4 years my elder shared a bedroom for the majority of our youth :o

So Bill I guess I have no answer for you

Maybe trust funds/ inheritance comes into play Da Rules!

Makes perfect sense!
 
Lots of laid off people around here.

The traffic is the main thing we like about living in a town of 1800. We spent 27 yrs from San Diego to Seattle with all the traffic. We do have one of the two traffic lights in the county though!!:hurray:
 
I've wondered the same thing. Mystified by the amount of traffic during what I once considered normal business hours. Who are these people? What do they do? Where are they going?

One contributing factor is over the years, the population, even in our once small town farming community, has ballooned and grown into a suburb! Our population has risen from @ 10k when I was born, to @ 80k when I graduated HS to now over 200k! That will naturally equate to more traffic. Secondly, I have begun to suppose that the traffic was always there, I just wasn't out and about amongst them to notice.

Sounds like my next door neighbor... works for Sprint. He is NEVER inside. Always out mowing, washing cars, trimming bushes, standing on his porch smoking, reading the paper, shooting hoops, hitting golf wiffle balls, on and on.....

I always tease him stating: "Sprint Employees: Under-Worked and Over-Paid!!!" LOL:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

He hates that. :rofl:
 
Bill,

Your specific question has already been addressed by economists. Very precisely as well.

Recessions mainly affect the middle and lower-middle classes families. These people are usually workers with relatively little specialized skills. In other words, these middle-class workers are often easily replaceable and are not the vital players in a corporation. When a corporation downsizes, the middle-class workers are usually the victims.

The upper-middle class workers are usually not affected. These people have more specialized skills. They usually work in the financial and marketing industries and are often the integral components of their corporations. They usually do not get laid off as easily because they know their corporations in and out and companies spent a fortune training them. The corporations cannot afford letting them go unless it is absolutely necessary. During the recession, the upper-middle class workers wages do not fluctuate. The upper-middle class workers are often investors of publicly traded companies. DURING the recession, there are often more opportunities to make quick money in the stock market because of the intense fluctuations. That's how many upper-middle class families get their injections of cash.

Another reason why we are seeing rapid consumer growthin this year is that we are now in yet ANOTHER financial bubble!!! After the collapse of AIG, CITI, and other prominent banks around the world, the losses from credit-issuings have been written off, and are starting fresh with their books. Banks are now issuing more credits under different venues. Instead of issuing credit cards directly, banks issue credits through department stores such as Home Depot and Macy's. This injection of credits into the consumer market is the reason why we are seeing some big spending among the middle-class unemployed.
 
Bill,

Good point. I am a salesman of high end audio video gear. I live in mar car (not really...just seems that way). I have noticed within the last few years that there is more and more traffic during the day time. I always comment "doesn't anybody work 9-5 anymore". Truth is that there are a lot of unemployed people and there are more and more jobs that let you telecommute.
 
A lot of these explanations make a lot more sense than what I came up with.....I just thought with unemployment at +10% the traffic was from people out looking for work and people on their way to the unemployment office, or perhaps the local pub :driving: :driving:
