The Mother of All "How to Remove Swirls from Your Paint for Novices!"
That's right boys and girls, The Junkman has went and made paint correction so easy, a caveman could do it! In the following videos, I cover the entire process from start to finish.
If you have ever been apprehensive about using a machine to rid your paint of scratches and swirls, you will definitely not be worried after watching this video series. I break it down to a level where a 10 year old can watch these videos and start fixing paint. The supplies and equipment that I use are readily available in the USA and abroad (for the most part). If you have a serious desire to finally fix your paint and about 1 hour and 54 minutes, then this video series is totally for you. After you have watched this series, you will not believe how easy I have made this. So sit back and get out some popcorn, kick up your feet and enjoy. The Junkman is about to burst onto your screen in a way that only the Junkman can! :thumbsup: Here are your before and after shots, which won't make a lot of sense until you have watched the videos, especially when you see how the number "2" ended up in the paint! BEFORE... https://www.ft86club.com/forums/pict...ictureid=12434 AFTER! https://www.ft86club.com/forums/pict...ictureid=12435 Due to the accidental deletion of the videos that I used in this thread, I have recovered them and made it into one, long video. It's the same exact information, just combined into one video. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JTxGf2Lvp4 The Junkman :cheers: |
You've held off on posting for 1 entire year just to troll the detailing subforum? I guess it's good info and all, but still. Really?
|
awesome post. Thanks!

People don't fly trolls to their houses and car clubs to show them how to fix the paint on their own cars. |

@sshole - you're kind of being a ****.
@Junkman2008 - I've thoroughly enjoyed and learned from your detailing videos on the youtubes over the years. Thanks for that! |

There's plenty of others whose first posts are of generally stupid questions or things that could have been answered with a decent search, yet this guy's first posts are actually... helpful, and yet you just jump all over him? Just a bit confused here. Instead, why not judge based on the content? View the videos and see if he's actually giving good, useful information, or just talking a load of crap. That should take about 2 hours, so instead of spending the next 2 hours posting, why not spend them watching... THEN get back to us. :popcorn: Subbing to watch the vids later when I'm not on the VPN (which has YT blocked). |
You guys seem to be missing my point.
He joined last year. He posted good information (I agreed to this in my first post, even!). He posted said good information a year after he joined. He also appears to be trying to sell his own microfiber towels in his other thread (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59817), which would be against forum rules. Edit: I haven't watched that other video because my lunch break is only 30 minutes long and I would rather not waste half of that time watching this guy's goofy face move about my computer screen. But who am I to judge. I'm just the asshole who didn't serve in the military so this guy's international audience can have internet. Right? |
If he's doing that in another thread, then let the mods handle it there. Don't bring that over here.
I see nothing wrong with lurking for a year. Means at the very least that he's been reading here for a year before deciding to open his mouth. Good for him. Not your business. Now, if he starts acting suspicious with his posts, then that's cause for concern, but lurking for a year isn't suspicious unless what he's posting IS. This doesn't happen to fall under that moniker. It does fall under "pretty damn useful!" And if his microfiber towels ARE that great, then let him apply as a vendor and sell them here if he's that confident in them, and let us be the judge of whether his product is good or not. |

I don't sell Microfiber towels. I own a computer networking firm. That's what I do for a living. I had to buy the towels that I showed in that video in order to evaluate them myself. Once I found out how nice they were, I shared that information with the world via the Internet. You know, sorta like what the Internet is all about? Sharing information? But since you haven't bothered to look at any of my videos, you don't know that now do you? Oh, and the military is not a cop out. You will find that I am one VERY proud Marine if you watch ANY of my videos. The hood liner on my car reflects that. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h...rses2010_8.jpg But again, you have judged without doing any footwork now have you? http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h...epalm-worf.gif |
Soo…. you didn't remove all the swirls?

Good info you posted, regardless of what this convo may have devolved into. |

z3ro, while I have never served, there is a term for what you describe in the last sentence. That term is "terminal lance". It's usually seen in combat MOS's (or whatever acronymn the USMC uses for the same thing).
I'd reserve judgement on that, is all. |
Quote:

Basically it's a term for someone who is literally stuck at lance b/c of how the service determines advancement and where it needs to "refill" positions. So, you can have a perfectly promotable lance cpl , but b/c of how the system works, if he's combat related, he can easily fall into the cracks and NEVER get promoted, and remain a lance until his term of service is up and he decides to not re-up.
Not sure if that's the case with junkman. I just bring it up as a fairly common example of how someone can be lance for quite a long time due to no fault of his own. |

For someone who didn't serve, you are VERY aware of how the system works. I kept my nose clean for 4 years straight. Not a blemish on my record whatsoever. But because I was an 0311 (combat infantry man), and served during a time when getting promoted was a luxury, I did good to make E4 (Corporal). You my man KNOW a thing or two about the military. :thumbsup: |
Good stuff!
|
The Internet is not friendly today, good info op sorry about the bullshit! I swear this forums pretty decent most days

Good stuff, thank you Junkman!

Thanks Junkman!
I stumbled upon some of your other videos in the past ... the two bucket method I think. I can't believe the amount of garbage going on in this thread tho. :thumbdown: |
@Junkman2008, good to see you on these forums, I've watched your videos a few years ago when they were posted on Camaro5. I traded in my fifth gen when financial problems hit, but I got a black FR-S now that I'm about to polish once the weather gets better :)

I'm done, not in the mood to argue today. |

People for the most part are good and I like meeting good people. Always have, always will. :thumbsup: |
I don't have any drastically noticeable swirls yet. But I'll be back soon ;)

Welcome, Junk Man.
I think the other guys are chilling out now, but I don't understand what their problem is with you (or anybody) joining a forum and not posting until you want to. -Z |
Thanks for the welcome my man. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/h...eys/tiphat.gif

Thanks in advanced! P.S. Excellent series of videos for novice polishing. And your El Camino sounds like it has some serious cam going on. I believe you stated 500hp under the hood. @z3ro-it would fucking smoke your ride and you have no idea what a good muscle car sounds like. Quit trolling and go play with yourself. Good work and thanks for your help @Junkman2008! |
Thanks for watching. ;)
There a TON of information in those videos and I specifically address the two things you are questioning. One being the counter-weight and two being the size of the back plate and pads. Because I was so detailed about what I said concerning those topics, I'm going to send you back to the videos again. If you missed that info, you probably missed some other stuff too. Thus, you are the one who would benefit immensely from a second watching. I always suggest taking notes because there is no way you can retain 2-hours of information if it is new to you. |
