You get 10 paid sick days, so 11th day would not be paid for, would be unpaid leave, or you could put it under vacation leave to get paid.

wow that sucks

don't think we have rules like that over here

when i was home for 9 weeks when my foot was operated, my pay kept running
tho after 30 days it went down to 75%

Congrats man!





So went to were I used to work this morning to take off my tires....That didn't go to well. Machine isn't made for low profile tires. Rage

Dropped them off at another local shop and told them to call me when they are done. Told them I'd like to have them by noon. My neighbor owns the shop and they guy at the counter was a fucking retard. If they fuck shit up, I'm gonna be pissed. Hopefully they don't charge an arm and a leg. Fuckers.

Also, got some paint stripper in a can, buffing coumpound (3M $55 fucking dollars), and some more sandpaper. $100 well spent.

The compound takes out 1200 grit scratches though. So I'll sand to 1500 and then go from there with the compound. Also have some other compound that's not as abrasive I'll use after the 3M stuff before doing the aluminum polish.

What 3M compound did you get, pics or name please

Also should be able to take off low profile tires with any tire machine.
I learned to change tires in Japan as they have tire machines at the track and you are responsible for your own tire changes.
Now i know how to change tires better than my tire changing friend who almost damaged the bead on my 205/40/17s because he was going too fast

What compound did you get?

Had I known, I would have suggested a few different compounds you can get from auto body supply places.

I wish they had places like that around here. I have a feeling a tire machine is a wise investment for someone like me.

Fair enough asking price. I'd love to find something like your car for my better half.

What cutting compound would you recommend for cutting out scratches like 1.5-2k

Tire machine doesn't have a pneumatic arm to push the tire into the drop center. The sidewalls on 512's are pretty stiff. We tried using bars and shit to get it done but it wasn't working out very well.

For those scratches you'd pretty much want a finishing compound.

I use Presta Ultra Cutting Creme mostly, sometimes I use Mother's aluminum polish if it's something I don't care as much about.


Presta Ultra Cutting Creme for 1.5-2k
Presta Ultra Cutting Creme Lite afterwards
(forgot the brand) Hand Glaze on a terry cloth after that
Race Glaze automotive wax to seal
