    Re: SHINE IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT! Shelby Cobra meets the Microfiber DA system!

    All kidding aside, I do explain to the client what exactly will be done to the vehicle. I explain clear coat and clear coat thickness. I explain future paint correction may or may not be possible. I go over everything that I believe the client should know about how the vehicle is before we work on it to after we complete the work as well as care and maintenance for the "reworked" clear coat. After I am confident that the owner of the vehicle understands it all, they make the choice to proceed or not. I turn down most of these type jobs than I accept because the service in my opinion isn't best for them. Once the vehicle owner understands what is happening, they choose the service and assume all risk that may (or may not) be associated with it.

    LOL! HA! I understand that...No denying that the paint looks much better after you work...but for me personally, having the same car...I would not feel comfortable having that done to my $50,000+ car. I will gladly live with the orange peel and such. And years down the road, I would prefer to simply have another clearcoat painting done if it ends up looking not so good after 10 years.

    Very good sir. For most people having dedication to the "two bucket method"...."fear of swirls"...isn't something that they have time to concern themselves with. Thanks for responding to this.

    Thanks for the tips, I understand that it will definitely be a long road and one that will take a lot of time. I'm excited to get a jump start on it though in a few weeks when I head down there for the Sunday NXT class. I'm hoping to absorb a lot of great info from you pros that I can work into my skill set. - And yes, practicing will definitely be in the cards over winter as things slow down a little.
