LOL That's a great idea Paul. Where can I get one?

 

So, one Hailstone managed to take out some paint on the hood. Third of the way North of Center. Saw it as I was using some ONR to wash the car. I've got one of those pens so I guess I'll put some on. Need I clean the area with anything first because I was using a polymer?

 

...never seen hail chip paint. That's probably a rock chip.

 

Me neither, ... until 15 min ago. Now I know it can happen. Considering the sizes of those suckers, I guess I got off lucky.

 

Huh... live and learn I guess. I saw a Toyota at the appraisal center that looked like it had been beaten with a hammer. Paint wasn't broken at all.

 

^ Infiniti paint FTL hahaha

 

Thats too bad Sam.
My resident Detailer says use something that will clean/remove any grease/wax from the area like Joy or Dawn. They are heavy on detergents so they will strip away clean the area. Don't get it all over the hood though.
Put it this way, he uses dawn to wash vehicles before he clay bars them.
A chemical cleaner/dewaxer can be bought but isn't necessary. It's a fresh chip so it should be good and easy to prep.
Stay out of the sun too.

 

Friday night, I got completely ready for Earl to hit on Saturday morning. Brought all of my outdoor plants inside, patio furniture inside, filled the jacuzzi tub with water, etc. Saturday morning came and we really didn't get hit that hard at all. I think we had winds gusts only up to 60 km/h compared to the 120 km/h they forecast. NS on the other hand was very different, and from what I understand Halifax got hit pretty good. I left a Deane a vm on Friday night wishing him the best but haven't heard back. Hopefully he faired Earl ok.

 

Glad to hear that you fared ok Shane. Sounds like you were ready just in case tho.

Deane said he going away this weekend so I expect he did go after he hurricane proofed the property.....
I'm sure he'll contact you on his return.
C.

 

Hopefully Deane's place weathered the storm okay. I would imagine he should be back soon.

 

yeah, we're back from Bathurst safe and sound. Shane, sorry I haven't had a moment to return the call -YET.

Wasn't any damage here. My new roof held together too. Just had to spend an hour or so cleaning up all the debris on the lawn. The windows are a mess with dirt and small specs of leaf but we'll clean them up sometime soon.

Bathurst didn't really get anything out of the ordinary weather wise.

 

Good to hear all was well at your place Deane.

 

Good to hear, Deane.

 

^thanks guys. I guess power here was out for 9 hours but that's better than most around here fared.
