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!


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!




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!




The Junkman

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?

Check it out dude. I am on about 50 different detailing forums, helping people fix their paint across the world. NOT the nation, THE WORLD. I HELP people. I have no time to troll, nor do I care too. Maybe if you spent a little time on Google, you would get an idea as to just how much help I offer people. So before you try and call me out, learn something about me and who I am. Trolling is not in my makeup and A LOT of people find my information VERY useful.

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

Whoa, that escalated pretty quickly. First off, I don't care. B) Still doesn't explain why you joined LAST YEAR and started posting TODAY.

Because it is my daily driver. The thing has more rust holes in it than the Titanic. Had you watched ALL of the videos, you would have seen me dancing on the hood. I could care LESS with how that car looks because I use it to take money away from people who assume things like you. The drive train and everything associated with it would scare you with all its nastiness. It's called a sleeper and you definitely don't want any of it.

@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!

Because this is America and I fought for the right for you and I to freely do what we please within the law of the land. So since you don't care, move on so that people who do care can learn something useful. Peace.

So his first post is an informative how-to series and you immediately get suspicious? wth, man?

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.

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.
