I was eyeing the Dynabrade Head that can change from orbital to forced rotation Flex style. I know Tuscarora likes his even though it wasnt the switching one and its cheaper then a flex with a bigger throw ( I want to say its like 19mm on the Dynabrade head) not quite a Rupes but with that throw and forced rotation it should be a beast so hopefully i'll have that to share when I get back. I'm definitly thinkin hard about tryin all of the new black label stuff as well but I'm sure most of you guys will have tried it before I get back anyway.

My jeep has minor swirls it hasnt been polished for over a year but the rock chips are what kills me and I think I may try the Dr. Colorchip road rash kit, so anyone lookin to try their hand with that would be more than welcome when I get back.

The Dynabrade attachment that switches, in the locked or "switched" position is nothing like the action of a Flex forced rotation (3401) polisher. It just locks in an offset position and will spin in that offset position as fast as the rotary polisher will spin it. Imagine a 3000 RPM forced orbit.

I hate the thought of the damage that could do if it get's away from you.:doh:
 
Google "kevin brown, dynabrade attachment" to find lots of "KB" style in depth info and food for thought on the Dynabrade locking attachment.
 
awesome, perhaps you can show me what I was doing wrong with the reflect.

Unfortunately I do not own a rotary...yet. I have the bumblebee (Dewalt 849x) in my sight.

The last Benz I did was horrible. I spent about 30 hours correcting the paint using Meg's MF cutting pad, Rupes 21, and M101 then finished up with Wolfgang Uber on a green BnS pad.

Many will ask me why I would use a compound like WGUC3.0, it's only because it finished very well for me on a foam pad after cutting with M101.

Bummer. I'm over here missing my team.

Well, let me know if any of you need a hand. I'll turn on swirl destroyer mode.

Ferrari Testarossa which sits next to the Viper this weekend if your around :dblthumb2:

Single stage paint FTW

Bring that Ceramiclear up here to Etters PA and we'll have a "rotary detailing day in South Central PA".

I don't think reflect is going to cut it. (pun intended)

In my limited experience with different compounds, not many compounds will "cut it". M-105 will cut it but fast cutting with it is very dependent on technique w/rotary/wool.

Agreed.

We will need to set up a detail day in PA at your shop. I'm currently working on cleaning up the garage and renovating it with new lights, scissor lift, and cabinets.
 
Dang y'all. I wasn't quite planning on full paint correction. It's an 08 so that has the ceramiclear or whatever? I haven't seen any stickers or anything describing it.
 
If your color code has a "C" in it, you have ceramiclear.

And never settle for less. I love full restos.
 
I was thinking of hitting it with the uber I have left with a MF cutting pad, play a bit with the reflect then topping with max wax
 
I have more Uber for the samples that were handed out last time, if anyone needs to top off.
 
I just moved to the area but have been following this thread for a couple of months now; just wondering if the monthly meets will continue through the winter. I'm a novice and I'd love to get some tips from some of the more experienced guys in the area.

Any plans for a December meet?
 
Hmm I will definitly have to look up the KB info on the Dynabrade head I really thought it went from forced rotation to DA. That does change it a bit. The research continues!
