I use mf bonnets on top of my 6" edge pads all the time. Works great. Undoubtedly the easiest way to get the majority off. Usually just use it after polishing though. Prefer by hand for the wax.

I've yet to polish a re painted vehicle, and it just makes me nervous when people start telling me the type of paint used. I've got a restored beetle to polish this weekend painted with polyurethane enamel. Seems to be a common finish, but I don't know if it is cleared or not, or if it...

I own the whole gammit of edge pads and I don't like the orange one. Seems to be the stiffest of them all, yet claimed to be middle of the road for cutting. I go straight to the green for cutting. I prefer the pad to form at least a little to undulations.

Are any of you watching this? Live on Discovery HD theater. The Mecum muscle car auction. HD rocks! These paint/polish jobs are incredible, not to mention the cars. Check out turbo.com.

I'm starting to get better at this. Our CX-7 was starting to show some spider webbing from the winter. My wife told me not to go near her car with "that thing" (the Makita Rotary) after I burned a molding on my truck the first time using it - but she was at work... Used a combination of the...

Well, it's snowing again, and I'm bored. But Spring is right around the corner and my baby needs a cleanin'. This is my pride and joy. A custom built, by me, Fetish Cycles "Seduction" no pivot, full suspension mountain bike. This machine cost nearly as much as it's combustion powered...

This past Thursday, some friends and I got to play hockey on NHL ice! First, we got to watch the Avalanche destroy Edmonton from club level seats, then we hit the ice ourselves! It was "Old Style" vs "Strohs". We were all very, very happy... I'm the Strohs goalie in white. They gave us refs...

I was using an orange Edge pad. They are all I own. Very nice because they work on my PC or rotary in a click. The main problem was that the edge of the Edge pad was dry, spinning at 1200 rpms and bumped the plastic molding. Instant paint gone! The orange pad is pretty stiff too. Doesn't...

I happen to have a garage attached to our unit, most are privately owned condos.

That "This Blow's" thread from earlier got me thinking. What, in your opinion, is the best car chase scene ever? - Don't ask me how a drunk driver hitting a parked car leads to this - There are so many from the 70's and 80's that I simply can't remember. Saw Vantage Point a couple weeks ago...

:iagree: the PC is for polishing, minor correcting. Gonna need some polishes. You can certainly use your PC for applying waxes or sealants, but it's usually easier and more thorough if you do it by hand.

So the weather forecast didn't show any snow for at least five days... finally! I bought a Makita rotary this winter and decided to give it a shot on my '05 Ranger. I began with an Edge orange pad and Menz FP. The paint wasn't in bad shape to start with, just some minor spider webs. I...

I'm a huge NHL (AV'S) fan, and a player myself. I'll be watching if I'm awake! No, I doubt 70k will be in attendance, but it's good for the league. I was wondering myself if this one was going down in the books, or just exhibition?
