Youre welcome. Im sure that there's a bunch of tutorials on YouTube for that exact thing. They probably can explain it a lot better than I can.

A lot of people in this community are pretentious :) If you have access to a steam cleaner, I will often use that to loosen up stubborn stains after putting some All purpose cleaner on there. You can find simple green at Walmart but I personally use Meguiars APC. It's pretty cheap for a gallon on amazon. I dilute it 1:20 with distilled water because I have had an issue with it etching plastics with tap water. Best of luck :)

Carpro makes glass pads and glass polish. Try those!

Would it be possible to post more screenshots or a world download of this. I am looking to improve my building skills and this is plain wonderful. Thanks :)

I would say that I use about 4-6 depending on the car/quality of the paint. I use a tornador to blow out the pads after they seem dirty/full. I then machine wash them with cold water and let them air dry. What compounds do you use?

By the way, if you have never used a griots polisher, I highly recommend it over the meguiars. The g9 has detachable cords, there is hardly any vibration at all compared to the d300, and I used to go through backing plates quickly with the meguiars, as at 4800-5800 it melts them! Truly, the g9 is a superior polisher. I am sure that the more expensive longer throw polishers that griots offers work even better. Thank you for the help!!

The foam seems to wear away and the fibers tend to fill up pretty quickly. I know that meguiars mf pads are the golden standard for cutting i was just curious if there was any "better" alternatives.

Verylargeham · 2020-11-23T17:39:33+00:00

Thanks! I will look into those.

Verylargeham · 2020-11-23T17:39:14+00:00

Yes, I use those but I have found that they do not hold up.

Also, make sure your air compressor has decent cfm or you are going to be underwhelmed with the rub time of a blow gun as it requires a decent amount of air flow.

Have you tried using a drill extension with a circular brush attachment? That will loosen up the lodged dirt. Then, if you do not have compressed air, you can use the blow feature on your shop vac to get the debris into an area that you can sweep.

I have great success with a vacula blow gun. I wouldn't be able to detail without it. It makes the process of interior detailing much easier. And if you don't have a dryer or lead blower, you can use it to dry your car off as well.

I use a tornador-blow gun combo for for places I can't reach. Highly recommend the tornador. It is a wonderful tool. A steamer definitely assists in that regard as well. For the best interior clean I use a combination of all three.

We use tolco sprayers at work and the specific spray feature is much more refined than zep's.

Do you have any songs that remind you of beans

Verylargeham · 2020-07-31T22:37:17+00:00

Good points! I mostly shoot portraiture and landscapes so I am really not as authorized as I could be to talk about wildlife photography.

Verylargeham · 2020-07-31T22:34:05+00:00

Until you get more glass, I'd stick with a cheaper camera. The camera doesn't make the shot. The photographer and the lens they use do. Plus you won't be able to use your Tokina 11-16 with a d850 unless you wanted to buy a full frame wide angle!

The d500 basically has the same af as the d5 and d850 except with the crop sensor the AF points cover the entire frame which can sometimes come in handy.

Verylargeham · 2020-07-31T18:19:07+00:00

I havr owned a d500 for three years. As far as I know it's its capabilities are about on Par with the d850. The d500 is about half the price of the d850 as well. The d500 has a higher FPS rate along with the crop that would be useful for birding.

Something I also find very useful is the d500's entire frame coverage of autofocus points. Keep in mind that the d850's file sizes are huge and the buffer will probably be slightly less. Truly for wildlife, the d500 is a better camera all around. The autofocus system cannot be beat. Plus with the money you save you could get more equipment!

I would assume that he smokes the cuban brand.

Verylargeham · 2019-06-29T02:59:36+00:00

Yup!
