You will find they dont push or market them, just add their 2 cents when the subject arrises. I think its great of Delta to allow this and very seldom interject. It is a great way to expand on ones knowledge, and hey it keeps bringing us back to DELTA's web page! I'm sure I'm not alone finding it strange that OTHER companies have to come to this site to support their customers. I guess on the positive side they are getting some aftermarket support. Just a thought has anyone looked at other windshield companies specific web sites for forums? Is there anyone out there alowing Delta questions? Jeff, buddy, pal, old friend of mine, even though you cut me off of free resin samples, I still lov ya! HA HA bet that will keep you from sleeping tonight!
Hey, guys... Back to the original question. I wasn't asking what type systems you use but rather how do you "mount" the vehicle so that you're perpendicular to the glass. Do you use scaffolding, laddeers, etc. Or, do you use 90 degree buffers vs straight-line drills, etc?
Sorry for the side trip, i hope you enjoyed the view. I use a grinder adapted for water delivery, it has a lower center of gravity which allows for better control. What you describe seems like a dream, but unfortunatly we can't work from the front, so we work from the side and do our best. This is a service that requires a fair bit of practice, and the more you do the more proficient(and profitable) you will be.
I find the one of the worst things about polishing a w/s is my back is destroyed after leaning over the windshield for an hour straight. I would love to have a hoist that I could hang from kind a like Peter Pan without the tights. Im just kidding guys. I aways wear tights when I buff glass.
The tights promote better bloodflow to the upper body by constricting the blood vessels in the legs. As an additional bonus you can get the tights in colours that you just can't get work pants in(you can co-ordinate better with the car), and tights have no metal parts such as rivets or zippers that can scratch a car. Thanks for the suggestion, I might just have to incorperate them into our corperate dress code
Yvan and all :eusa_danc ,
Thanks for the feedback. I plan to concentrate on light scratch repair such as the type created by poor wiper blades (black streaks). I have to be careful of my back since I injured it last summer.
I use a wide step 2 step stool. Its seems wider than most. I also put foam pipe insulation around the top handle to avoide scratches to fenders etc. I find it creates a stable wide work serface. I have also used a snowmobile kidney belt for back support. These are to help keep your back straight which is next to imposable when buffing. I just found the tension or support helps to reduce strains.
I have had some customers ask me about glass scratch removal, in short my question is what is the best system to use for glass scratch removal and how would I start using it?
