Just a stupid question when you talk clockwise verses counter clockwise are you looking down at the pad from the operators position or are you looking directly at the shaft ??? Thank you in advance for the reply ! Brian

I did use the Solution finish on the Avalanche, I prepared it as recommended , hand brushed and cleaned the vinyl, let it get good and dry. The I applied the Solution Finish absolutely amazing what a difference it made ! I did get into some trouble, due to the fact that it was an extremely humid...

Hey guys thank you for the input, it does not go unappreciated ! I do have a couple of Rotary buffers, that I use when I do a job that is real oxidized with a fine lambs wool pad, but we all know that it leaves swirl marks. I like the Orbital Machine, nice and light, but it has limitations...

Thank you Mike I appreciate your input very much ! I am 71 years old and have done many cars and boats over the years, but there is nothing that I hate more than the cars with all that vinyl trim on it ! Many of my clients and or friends call me and ask me about the fading of the vinyl. And...

Thank you Mantilgh, for the information I very much appreciate you taking the time to post it ! Brian

This seems to be a real new product, I watched the Video with Mike Phillips doing some work with the tool ! Seems to be a real nice machine . Has anyone on here acquired and used it yet ? My orbital polisher is getting tired and I want to get a new one to replace it ! My problem is once again...

I have buffed the vehicle out and it looks nice, but the vinyl is no longer black or grey or what ever color it is suppose to be ! In the past I have tried many different products and they all seem to work out ok at the time, but in three months it is back to its old faded self ! Have you...

Mr.Mike WOW, I must say that was an impressive review. After reading all that I realize how much I do not know. I guess I have no choice but to buy a new Flex Rotary Polisher ! Thank you for taking the time to reply.

How many individuals on here own the Flex Rotary 14-2-150 ? And the big question is how is it holding up ? I have owned Dewalt, Black and Decker, AEG, and Makita Rotary polishes. I am a boat enthusiast and when you buff a boat you are really beating on any machine that you are using, any...

Put the car outside in the sunlight and look at it from different angles. Often the car looks great inside of a building with fluorescent lighting. Put it in the sunlight and you sometimes will be amazed, any swirl marks will show up pretty quickly. Good luck

I am looking for a quality vinyl cleaner and treatment that has some staying power and is not real slippery. Once again there are tooooo many products available for detailing black plastic fender flares, and rubber parts on trim. I have used Armor-all. Wow vinyl treatment, Nuvinyl, and a few...

Funny how we are all searching for the best least costly product to do a great job. I was over my friends house the other day, he has several show quality cars. I popped the question regarding Maguires products. He brought me over to his detail cabinet, HONEST TO GOD IT WAS FILLED FROM TOP TO...

Boat was in storage for two years covered with tarp, not as tight as shrink wrap but not bad. We had a pretty intense storm blowing sideways, it did wet the upholstery that I was not aware of. Uncovered the boat a year later, mold everywhere and plenty of it. Mixed up a what I thought was a...

Boy this thread has really been quite informative, I have not had a chance to read it and wished I did sooner. I do appreciate the input from everyone, especially some of the products that I did not know existed. This is a great website for guys who like shinny cars, boats , etc. My solution to...

That is a great secret but in reality masking the vinyl is problematic because most of the vehicles I do work on are pretty clean and people typically treat the vinyl. Now the masking tape does not want to stick ! So typically I will hand work the paint up near the molding but as we all know you...
