    Video: Wow! 3M #5000 Grit Polishing I mean Sanding Discs!

    I have been using the 3m disc's for awhile, and the only thing that will put a dent in my cars clear. Compounding alone with a rotary is almost a wast of time unless you wet sand first. In my opinion on very hard clears with clear coat scratches the 3000 and sometimes 2500 is the only way to get...

    Meguiars Marine line really different??

    I have a question, can you use marine compound on a car? My car has extremely hard clear coat, DuPont chromaster paint and clear. My paint rep wants me to 1500 and 3000 wet sand then hit it with perfect it line of compounds and pads. Well if I use 3000 paper and megs compound pad it is a...

    The most over-rated products?

    Well it does say insulator wax on bottle! I really think it is better then all the other stuff I have used and really pops my corollas metallic red paint. I do have Souverän wax, but i think 845 looks as good and has far more protection.

    The most over-rated products?

    Let me tell you a story about 845 and my new corolla, I applied 845 to to the car a week after i got it and a week later I noticed bird crap on the door, so I wiped it of with warm water and a rag. I noticed that their was an oil streak after I was done, weird looking streak. I got more 845 and...

    The most over-rated products?

    Ya, I like 845 too, one of the few products I bought that I really did not have to study to realize I liked it.

    Rotary or Flex 3401

    I have a 3401 and a Hitachi rotary, 3m and a rotary is a must for me. I cannot get a DA to do what a rotary can in a 1/4 of the time.

    Menzerna polishes break down WAY faster with a rotary!

    I learned on a rotary and then bought a 3401. well got to tell you it takes 3 times longer to do same job and sometimes cannot get same results with 3401. Now I know the first thing to be said is my technique, well I have seen all video numerous times and my conclusion is that the 3401 just is...

    Charge for a good friend?

    Ya, tough call cause I have four other friends who are going to want me to do the same thing and I really do not want to start a whole big thing. I always end up doing everything for free and I am a little tired of it, computers, home repair, small engine repair, woodworking, painting etc etc...

    Charge for a good friend?

    Ya, I was thinking 150.00, 200.00. I guess it depends on how hard it would be to correct his paint. My paint, i thought was soft cause my 3401 either took nothing off the clear or made more scratches, I think it is to hard? Had to go back to rotary as nothing i did worked. My car took me two...

    Charge for a good friend?

    Definitely a discount, but what is a job like that worth? Ya this question is tricky cause he is a friend, but I have to shoot him some kind of number?

    Charge for a good friend?

    He wants me to do it so I can earn some extra money, he does not want to be bothered with it and would rather be installing a new ls motor in his other car.
