    Rotary vs Dual Action

    I have used a medium cut Edge pad on a rotary to get rid of 2000 grit sanding marks and it was tough work. I'd never attempt it with a DA. Personally I only ever use a rotary. I did have a DAS-6 but when I purchased the rotary I didn't touch it again. If I was the OP I'd be purchasing a better...

    Best Waxes & Sealants? (updated)

    No such thing as a good cleaner wax imo. It is an oxymoron.

    Pinnacle Souveran vs. P21S

    You're wasting your time layering NXT2.0 as it contains cleaners. You're just removing what you've previously put down. Personally I love P21S100 and it is all I use. No sealant either, just multiple layers of P21S.

    Prep for polishing questions....

    Don't need to make it complicated. If the car is clean then clay, polish, ipa wipedown then seal. Doing one panel at a time isn't a problem either. Not convinced Citrus Wash is the product to use to strip old LSP either. It will simply replace it with its own Gloss Enhancers.

    God have mercy...

    I was going to do some paint correction on one of my wife's friends cars as a favour. She had tried to remove some stains with scotch brite as well. So I did some experimentation on a test panel I had (which happened to be off a BMW 1 series) by rubbing it down with a scotch brite pad. It took...

    Best finish polish

    I prefer the Menz as it has longer working time. Much easier polish to work with imo.

    Sealants containing silicone?

    Silicones are cheap. Simple as that.

    The Difference Between a Cleaner/Wax and a Finishing Wax

    Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60 is rubbish in my opinion and I certainly wouldn't recommend it. Apparently Powerlock is so much better but I haven't personally used it as it is not available in Australia. I've recently gone from layering carnauba over a sealant to just multiple layers of Carnauba. I...

    Ford BF XR8 UTE "Magnet"

    Awesome car mate. I'm an aussie myself. Also a member on AFF. Small world hey! That's pretty heavy swirling. Did you manage to get rid of it all with the DAS-6. I also purchased one of these. Did 1 car and it frustrated the hell out of me. Ended up getting rid of it soon after and buying a...

    What are you working on today?

    Been meaning to give my SS a good going over with the rotary then start layering some carnauba. But after doing other cars all week then trying to keep the wife and little one amused on the weekend, there is never enough time! I did manage to get one front quarter wet sanded, polished and...

    9227 from Makita

    I too use the makita 9227CB. I was a bit concerned about the weight as well especially when the machine I was comparing to was a couple of pounds lighter. But I think the little extra weight actually works in its favour. It is actually weighted quite well. I'm only small fellow but have no...
