I've got a guy buffing the oxidation off the entire rig. Only charging me $200.00. Today I was able to get started on the outside wall of my big slide and the front end cap. I started on the slide first. I watched a UTube video about a guy showing how to apply ZEP. He said to get a pail of water with about 1" deep of water and drop the rag in it. Then wring it out and fold it so you get roughly 4" X 4" pad to work with. He said after wringing it out then pour some Zep on it. He only put on about a capful. I did all that. I put on 1 coat and it looked like crap. I did 2 more coats and it still looked like crap. I was surprised because so many members raved about it.
When I was putting it on, it had the tendency to run real easy and that got me thinking. : That get's me in trouble a lot. ;D
I thought that maybe the water was thinning out the Zep. The 4th coat I just used a dry cloth and I put some Zep an it and started again. Right now I've got 5 coats on it and it's just starting to pop. I can still see the little runs from the first 3 coats but I'm hoping they get covered over.
I did 2 coats on the front cap. The first was with the wet rag and the 2nd was with just the Zep rag. It looks sooooo good. Tomorrow I'll put on a couple more on the cap and that should do it.
The moral of the story, DO NOT use a water damp rag. Use a dry microfiber rag.
