We call it SoCal Checking in, but if you start at the first page, you will see members from all over Cali and other states. This is how we all met. The members in Fresno, A****er, Sactown, AZ, Utah, Nevada, etc, we met here.

Im sure there are a few near you. Search this post because everyone does not check in all the time. Even though your in Bakersfield, your part of SoCal.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Stay away from the sheep, that's old school, foam and 3M materials. Start light, you can always get more aggressive if needed. I'd start with 2500 and 3M perfect it 2. If that does not cut it, try 2000, maybe perfect it 1. The compound and the pads are a set, don't mix them up.

I'm gonna' use the 3M perfect it stuff. Foam pads for sure. What's the difference between perfect it 1 and perfect it 2?

My wife bought me a variable speed buffer for my birthday (isn't she great!), so I have that covered. I have all the sand paper I should need (1500 - 2000). I will order the compound and buffing pads (white, black and blue) so I guess I'm ready to go this weekend.

Well seeing that you have all the proper equipment, then I guess it might be safe for me to help,....hand you a beer as I watch.

J/K, let me know if I can help.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

On another note, do you guys want to have a monthly breakfast or lunch get together? This is for all trucks, not just C-10's.

Just asking.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Welcome to the SoCal board. Nothing that formal, their are a few individuals that will plan a meet and invite anyone that wants to attend. If you have a favorite breakfast or lunch spot plan a meet a few weeks out and let everyone know. Those that can will.
