Yes both my wife and I are very excited :excited: to have our first kid, everything is falling into place we wanted to move in to the new house and start trying so looks like things are working out and I couldn't be happier :tup::tup::tup:

( Click to show/hide )
unless some one wants to make donations to my boost or repaint funds! :rofl2:

:tup: for smoooooth preparation.

i remember a local guy that moved at the very last minute (like a day before kid was born) and i was like wtf are you doing to your wife??! :ugh2: it's already bad enough that it's going to be their first child so tensions were already high, now moving to a new unfamiliar house that needs work? im like do you know what "preparation" means?! :shakes head: lol :rofl2:

:iagree: that would not be good for the wife or the baby on the way :shakes head:

we have been here 5 months now and I have done lots of projects already, hopefully I can get a bunch more of them done before the early december due date :tup:

I have both rotary and RO and I use my RO all the time, rotary is only for the heavy stuff or if doing a full out 3 stage polish :tup:

You need to come over some time and give my Rupes Bigfoot a try. You'll :drool: It's a game changer. :tup:

LMBmikeZ 05-20-2013 11:38 AM

:yum: looks very nice

LMBmikeZ 05-20-2013 11:39 AM

I just have the griots RO with 3" and 6" backing plates and pads, and then I have a big Makita Rotary for big work with 6" and 8" plates and pads both are for the lake country pad system :tup:

Which I know isn't cold to most, but when the prior week it was 85, then all of the sudden it's 50, your body goes into shock. :eek: :icon17:

That and the Summer heat thins out your blood, a lot.

As for the map light, if I put it on the inside, it may darken it a little bit, but if I put it on the outside it may blend the map lights into the plastic housing a bit - could look pretty neat.


:icon17: hahaha, yah, mid-30's, im washing my car outside on my driveway.
your summers are incredibly hot vs our summers here.

ahh, yah, on the outside i suppose it could bend with the trim. :) but if you were going to do that, wouldn't the stock frosted lens work just as well? :confused:

nice :tup: and with RO you don't have to worry so much about damaging the clear coat on your paint you won't burn through inless you held it in one spot for a LONG LONG TIME!

:iagree:

imho, using RO is safer than spot polishing by hand because the rotation is always even vs doing a karate kid motion by hand. polish on, paint off. :ugh2:

LMBmikeZ 05-20-2013 11:47 AM

12" pad would be ok if you had a big old boat of a car like a town car or a big caddy with large flat body panels :ugh2: not much else a 12" pad would be good for........I hardly use my 8" pads even..... I think they have only been used on my buddies boat :ugh2:

LMBmikeZ 05-20-2013 11:49 AM
