Anyone ever used this stuff? Looks similar to the Picklex20 I posted recently.

Wonder if it's as good or maybe better?

looks like something you could apply with a latex glove on with and old sock over that. Dip into the can and wipe on.
-
Same as with Picklex but a lot cheaper. Looks to be the same thing tho. I bought a gallon ,we'll see,should be here in a week. I couldn't find a single bad review.
-
Thread hijack. At least it is the same topic sort of. Everybody see this?

COOLEST thing I have seen! I'm sure it is WAY above my price range though. Ya got any more info?
-
I saw that a while back, really cool but stupid expensive.
-
Depends where you buy it. I found a WIDE range of prices. I paid 39 bux for a gallon ,shipping included ,on Amazon. If it's anything like picklex20 ,it will last a VERY long time.
Well,crap. I bet you were talking about the laser thing. How stupid expensive was it?
-
I think the hand held unit on the vid was like 65k......
-
I was guessing at least 50 so I guess I wasn't too far off. Be extremely useful in the right business I suppose.
-
I heard north of 60 on the hand held. Like all technology that price will plummet. Videos out showing paint removal etc. Seems a shop could open for rust removal / paint removal and make a pretty good lick. That the underlying surface remains intact is huge. I also suspect like welding, it will evolve a bit. Say about four years, be as common as powder coat shop?
-
Quite possibly. The restoration market could be huge for sure. Links to info???????

Thanx. I'll check it out.
-
The application / process is intresting. The underlying material is more reflective than rust or paint. A photospecturm deal. I imagine you could tune a laser to only process blue for example. Will be intresting to see further applications.
-
Tech marches on.

i like the lazer rust remover and wonder what that costs, not that i can buy one but curious. wonder how deep it goes?
-
Quite a lot on the webs about them. I spent a couple hours reading about them. Thanks a lot yummi.

No worries, you want I should school you on D-maxs next?

Appears just as deep as the underlying material. Once the photo spectrum chnages, it stops. Shiny metal? Cant touch this!

Lol! I thought you swore off GD. Lol!!

I still get PM's there. Log in now and again to retrieve them.
I saw on FB that Doug and Cortni had bought a truck, had issues, and turned it in. Was curious what the issues were that would necessitate a loss on turning in / swapping a truck? Sounded like some glitches, but sometimes shit happens. A 4k hit? Ouch. Glad they are pleased with the DMax and I learned there is a secret way to hone a DMax cylinder. (That dude clearly knew his shit) Also learned that the same folks still know it all. Some shit never changes.
-
Most engines have hone specs that van vary wildly depending on use. Been that way for around 25 years or so.most today involve plateau bond procedures with specific cross hatch pattern. Did I mention I used to do some pretty high end drag stuff? Lol.
-
Plateau honing . Dann spell check.
-
So in English, the little things matter based on application? And the GM engineers know this better than an internet forum? Get the fark out.
Quick story: Got my oil changed (yes, I know, but sometimes, pressed for time) dude is telling me how he knows better than the fleet of Ford engineers what it needs. Of course it is an up-sell. His basic comeback was "they want it to fail." That may well be the case, but until you build a product, invest millions in the process, warranty it, and repair it, I am going to do what the monkeys that made it tell me to do.
-
rofl Pretty well sums it up.
A couple weeks ago,we needed some iridium plugs. My son ,not much a mechanic,goes to auto zone for the iridium plugs needed but they "come pregapped" from the factory and "cannot be gapped to spec " since "the iridium side electrode will crack and break off." LMAO LMAO Well,son calls me,tells me this shit and I can hear the idiot counter "expert" spewing this BS. I'd had enough,told son to put me on speaker . I proceeded to tell the fooking idiot the iridium part was the center electrode and to just shut the hell up until he educated himself(short,very short version ;) and stop spreading BS. Yup,the guys that design the stuff just might have a clue.

this is never a good thing but your right shit happens but if they bought it new i would think the lemon laws would've taken care of this or a dealership but who knows.

"Yup,the guys that design the stuff just might have a clue. "
i agree with this 85% lol for the most part yes but then are designs and builds that are absolute crap........the ford 6.0 diesel and 6.4......the Europe engineers should've been fired and never allowed to work in the industry again on these two! yes ford had a hand in it too. there are others as well but for the most part stock parts are the best and auto parts stores aren't stock or even close and the monkeys behind the counters couldn't cut it as mechanics so they don't know for if they did they wouldn't be able to smile when they sell have the shit in those stores lol
cardone is the biggest and worst re manufacturer of them all imo
fabr i know you were into the drag scene and built engines....you do know a lot about it and you also know there is always more to be had for specific apps however for longevity ...yep you know lol
-
I'm just a good guesser.................Honestly though,the plateau hone procedure is about the standard with varying crosshatch pattern,depth,grit/grits used,width of plateau,etc.. It all has to do with oil control,ring face lubing and of course sealing. All quality shops now use diamond hones while race shops will have their own preference between diamonds,conventional abrasive stones or a combo of both used. Didn't really want to go in to it at GD since it would have been WAY over most of their heads. Then I'd have to read 100 posts telling me I'm an idiot. ;D ;D 5:

A rear window motor, a center console, the interface wackadoodled the phone. Not deal breakers in my mind. Dang sure not enough to take a 4k hit in two weeks. (For that you need to trade futures, on margin, in developing nations, against the currency rate; you know really sophisticated dumb shit stuff) And not really enough for me to justify a 57k truck. But, to each their own. Like I say as long as they be happy.
We just lemon lawed the daughter's VW. She bought in Arizona, took a job, re-registered car, etc ultimately in Oregon. Lets just say I am glad she was in Oregon. The only kicker there is "notice" and the second trip in I placed them on "notice" via certified letter. Problem solved. AZ laws are not as consumer friendly as some sates. In this case it worked very much to our advantage.

The market is becoming increasingly effective at sorting that shit out quickly. Social media in part. Bad product? Needs to be resolved and resolved quickly. Far too much money on the line. Not saying it does not happen still, GM ignition switches come to mind, but anymore people expect / demand absolute perfection from others and companies.
Themselves? Not so much. Their personal bar is just a little tinsy bit lower, like in the fxxking weeds.
