The Mother of All "How to Remove Swirls from Your Paint for Novices!"

There's a webcomic I read once called "Terminal Lance." Besides being funny, the creator also documents what exactly it is. That's how I learned.

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.

@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

Well if you don't want any part of the El Camino, you sure as hell don't want any part of my OTHER ride.

You missed the entire purpose of my post.

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

The BS comes with the territory. I understand that, especially given the age of some of the people who bring it. But I know how good people can get ran off of a forum by one or two individuals and how the masses will be the ones who really lose out. That's why I just deal with it and keep the good info coming. I'm bringing what essentially is a college course in paint correction. You usually have to pay for this stuff but I offer it up for free. What do I get in return? The fellowship of people across the globe. I have met more people and been invited into more homes of total strangers than I can count. The opportunity to break bread and fellowship with another person has been more fruitful than any monetary amount. You can't buy that with any amount of money and I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

People for the most part are good and I like meeting good people. Always have, always will.

I don't have any drastically noticeable swirls yet. But I'll be back soon

I will need to look that up. Sounds like a good read. You were dead on!

We'll get through it! I need to post that 2-bucket wash series here too. Will do in the near future.

We had 3" of snow yesterday. My Vette has been sleeping for 5 months! I can't wait for spring.

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.

[Junkman2008]

Thanks for the welcome my man.

The first two videos are worth their weight in gold for the information alone. I don't even start working on the paint until the third video but the amount of information I cover in the first two videos is priceless. Do NOT skip through them!

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!


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...




AFTER!

Part 1 - Hey boys and girls! Finally, a video series that takes the process of paint correction from the beginning to the end (from claying to waxing). Although I do not apply any wax at the end, I cover everything else in detail. This series is 1 hour and 54 minutes long so that should give you an idea as to how much detail I go into.

In this first video, I talk in detail about exactly what paint correction is. I also go into detail about the polishing technique you should use as well as the best product on the market that you should buy. I cover other topics too so just sit back and kick up your feet. This video is 15 minutes and 7 seconds long.

Part 2 - In this video, I go into detail about exactly what I use to remove the paint damage within this video series. I name and visually show every piece of equipment as well as all of the products necessary to do paint correction. In some cases, I even offer up a location where you can find the products that I use. I talk about why I chose to use the products that I use as well as what I don't use. If you want a list of these items, WATCH THIS VIDEO.

Part 3 - Okay, in this video I identify the damage that we are going to repair. I even go as far to create some damage just to ensure that my paint will be more jacked up than your paint. I then go into detail about claying, and what it does for your finish. Last of all, I show how to assemble the PC-7424XP so that we can start the polishing process. The video following this video will be in high definition so that you can clearly see the damage and the effectiveness of my repair.

Part 4 - Because I wanted the viewers of this video to be able to see the results of the work that I did in high detail, I uploaded this video in high definition. That took 12 hours!

In this video, I actually go into the proper technique for polishing with the PC-7424XP, showing me using the machine properly. I show the polishes that I use, the pads that each polish is used on, how to work the polisher and how much polish should be used. I also talk about the importance of not using too much polish and clogging up the pores in the pads, which makes the whole process worthless. I go into the discussion of how long to work a polish and when to stop (after a polish flashes). I show which order the polishes are used and explain why you use them in that order.

One thing that I stress in this video is the importance of a solid technique. I talk about and show the technique that I use, as well as how to ensure that you are developing a solid technique. As I say often in this video series, "Technique trumps product 365, 24/7. No matter who's polishes you decide to use, none of them will work worth a darn if your technique sucks. Technique rules!

Conclusion - I recap my process and allow you into my mindset concerning paint correction and caring for your paint.

The Junkman

@Junkman2008. I want to formally thank you for all the information you have provided to us. I watched your 5 part series on novice polishing using the PC DA. I was just curious if it necessary to buy a 5" counter weight and backing plate? I see that it comes with a 6" counterweight. Does it come with a 6" backing plate as well? I was just going to order the 6.5" Hexlogic buffing pads. But if you really feel that a 5" backing plate is best for a novice. I will take heed and purchase. If so, does a 5" backing plate work on the 6" counter weight. I noticed the counter weight says "for 6 inch backing plate only". So I would presume that is the case?

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!

[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.

Okay, did a another review. I took notes the first time I watched the 5 part series. I just saw your video in regard to the PC on your sweet Vette. Is the Meguiar's 105 safe for a novice to use? Considering it being the heaviest cutting compound made by Meguiar's.

I also watched you take some scratches out of the Lambo Murc. Would such surface scratches be reduced or even removed if I perform the series of actions as you produced in your 5 part video? Or should I refer to a local detail shop to wet sand those?
