Default 3/5 Tonight

Tonight FAgent1 is coming over with his new PorterCable buffer. Last week I washed the coupe at one of those UDOIT car washes and used the brush they had there. Put some nice scratches in the paint. If anyone wants to hang out I have a cooler full of beer and the garage will have heat. We are going to start around 7. Call me on my cell (610-766-1105) if you need directions :cheers:

Bummer when I use those I blast the brush first with the high pressure hose to hopefully get the drit form the 4X4 who was in front of us :rolleyes:

Bring sunglasses. You'll need them for the glare coming off of Rex's hood when were done. :cool:

Sorry to hear about the scratches in your good looking car. Hope the buffer takes them out with no problem. Sorry I can't join the gang in your new garage. Good luck! :cheers:

What the freak were you doing up at 6:24 and already on the forum. :eek: You must be a morning person unlike me.

Not a problem, we will have to do Rexy's next. :cheers:

Have you looked at it in the sun yet?

C4suke, The porter cable random orbital took out 90% of them. Its a pretty good safe alternative to using a real buffer or wet sanding and buffing. Great tool for the novist.
