Hey park, does BoM carry touchup paint?

If you need any advise on how to use the PC and menzerna products just let me know

:touchuppaintalsoneeded

I should give alpine a ring.

Ruff Rider · 03-30-2009, 10:24 AM

Alpine is where I got mine

TurboFan · 03-30-2009, 10:33 AM

Thanksthanks for the info. Pat I'll def hit you up for some advice. I think it'll be a couple weeks before I can do any meaningful detail

SLCGoonski · 03-30-2009, 10:43 AM

my filters are blue again!! (albeit a smokey blue color cuz the filter doesn't get back to pure white like when it was new...)

Pat can we do a mini detail session? I would love to get some advice on PC technique as well!

Park2670 · 03-30-2009, 11:45 AM

Pat charges $20 an hour for advice.

If Parker is up to it.(my little big helper now) Sunday is open this week. The only problem I have is I need a new backing plate for my buffer. Nate's car needed some much buffing I melted the Velcro on the backing plate. I need to order a new one and don't know if it will be here on time.

my agent sets the pricing

TurboFan · 03-30-2009, 12:28 PM

Hey pat, check with M&M tool. I think they have them. Main street an 3300 south, roughly.

I have the meguiars cut, buff and polish pads. Are they any good?

My car is going to need soooo much work with the buffer.

SLCGoonski · 03-30-2009, 01:04 PM

black cars...soo much work...but they look soo good.

Thanks I will check them out

As far as Meguiars pads I have never used them. When you come over bring your stuff so I can see it. Buffing is work but damn it makes such a huge difference. Nate's car before and after still amazes me.

Park2670 · 03-30-2009, 01:25 PM

Nates car looked damn amazing. I loved seeing the difference after pat had polished one section.... NO MORE TOUCH CAR WASHES NATE!!!

SLCGoonski · 03-30-2009, 01:50 PM

I'm going to need to go to work tomorrow. This week is not looking good for a clean car...

SLCGoonski · 03-30-2009, 01:53 PM

...at least my filters are clean. Car is down for 1 day for a wash, re-oil.

babino · 03-30-2009, 02:01 PM

I am finally able to take my car out after a weekend from hell oncall for work. It is perfectly clean but I don't care because at least I get to drive!

And Pat, we have an A4 that I want to get in your detail queue. Probably will be best after M Fest... speaking of MFest, it's been awefully quiet in here about that lately. Have plans changed? We'll be there for sure.

Parker and I have run into a snag......room got taken away from us.

Still working on it.

Stay in touch as far as the detail. A4 in A6 out

accendo · 03-30-2009, 03:53 PM

Gah! So much talk of detailing. Much more and I'll want mine done too . . . once spring decides to stick around for more than 2 days at a time.

Yup. Rears about 5% left, fronts about 15%.

Not too bad though - 13.6K miles on it in 10 months. From what I understand from other M drivers - that's pretty good.
