You know you're old when you don't need to Google "Big Wheel" to know what it is.

LOL. I do have a question for you guys. In my instructions on the DA RO polisher they say that low speed is for final polishing with high speed for fixing imperfections in the paint. On the web site they have it the other way which is it?

This is correct.

OK that is how I used it today fixing the scuffs on the trunk lid.

HelloZ from 30,000'!
Gave my Z some stick on the way home from the salon today before hosing off the pollen and putting the cover on her. Another couple of days of not driving for me. At least the limo company we use in Dallas picks us up in Audi A8L's

Hi guys. Feeling really great right now. I owe it all to the people on this forum. I'm a pretty good mechanic. I was a Jet Mech in the Marines and have done some work on cars. Everything from changing engines (even with different car companies providing the replacement engine) to complete suspension mods. I'm pretty sure I could install either a Stillen or GTM SC. Would need help with the tuning. Now to what has made me soo happy. Ever since coming to the forum I've been doing things outside my comfort zone. Body mods and detailing actually scare me. Drilling into the alum. trunk of a perfectly good sports car isn't something I'm used to. Today I buffed out some areas on the trunk that have bothered me for 2 years. 3 years ago I wouldn't have bought a DA( yes it is a random Kensan) and tried to do it. It was much easier than I expected. Tomorrow I'm doing a 3 step detail of the paint. 1st I'm using a Turtle wax scratch remover, then going to a Maguires Gold wax, and finally an ultimate shine with detail spray and the detail pad of the DA. I'm hoping for a great finish on my car. I'm doing everything short of claying it. The confidence I go into this task is all thanks to the encouragement of the GREAT people here. Thanks again guys(and gals).

I'm so glad we make you uncomfortable!

Nah, I'm glad to hear you're trying things you wouldn't normally do. And look...you wouldn't have ever known how easy a random orbital is to use unless you took the plunge!

I agree with Mr. Fire. The people on the forum (who I haven't put on my ignore list) are great folks.

You have an ignore list too? How many people are on it now?

I tried to "ignore" myself. It did not work. So I have no one on it yet.

Washed her tonight only to end up driving through a street sweeper's dirt.

LEDs look nice at least. Stalk me if you dare.

Brantly- do you have enough faith in the PSS' to turn the VDC off in the wet stuff?

I think my Z my blow up if I touch that button! Im sure it would be just fine Gale. I don't panic when I get sideways, I just grin like a schoolboy!
