GTIMANiac Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 I just replaced my Porter Cable with a Torque, so far I am really happy with it. I think I lost 10lbs in water weight working on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Looks fantastic - can't wait to see it in person! I know what you mean about the weight loss, I usually take a week of evenings to wax just to keep the energy output manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be glad to help someone, providing that IPA between steps stands for Indian Pale Ale as well as IsoPropyl Alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't attempt it now unless your garage is climate controlled. I did one of the new cars yesterday, not three weeks old yet, so just had to strip the wax, rub down with alcohol and then treat, done in an hour. Jeff, let's do yours in October.

Vette R & D Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well as some of you know We got our replacement to the wrecked Vette from the April 30 2019 to our 2015 Blade Silver Vette, We now have a 2017 GS in Sterling Blue Metallic, It rolled of the transport truck less than 12 hours before the Fathers Day Picnic run. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Vette not only already had a clear Bra on the entire front of the car but also al the way down both sides! My question is how do I take care of this clear Bar? Please Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extender32 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 With a clear bra, just wash & wax as usual and you can even use a DA to polish if need be, I do this to mine frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
