Wow, ZDay is actually close enough for me to drive to! The only problem is I'm due at the Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky for a bunch of detailing clinics.

Junkman,
I am trying to understand how this all works, so please forgive any ingnorance on my part. By wetsanding the paint, it removes the scratch, but it also removes the clear coat as well. When do you get to the point that you have removed too much clear coat and you are on the paint itself? By removing the clear coat, does it or can it leave the paint vunerable? After you removed the clear coat down to the scratch, do you need to add a layer of clear coat back? Thanks in advance |

I just dived right in ... and jumped straight to a Flex; rather than a PC.

Paint thickness gauges come in various degrees of expertise. Some will give you a overall reading, some will give you a reading of each individual layer. Guess which one is the best and cost more. The one for my car has to be able to take readings off fiberglass. That sucker was not cheap! It also will break down the layers on my car. That is a must when you have a car that cost around $6000-$8000 to paint right. However, you can find gauges that are only $200. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

The top reasons why I chose the Flex are. 1) Powerful yet still a random orbital buffer 2) Variable speed trigger 3) Lock-on button locks the trigger 4) 40% more power than PC 5) Made in Germany. P.S. Keep up the good work with your youtube feed. I've been watching your videos for a while now.
