    6" backing plate on PC??

    I have the HD version that AG sells. Unless they have come out with a even more HD version in the last 4 months(I got mine through you in May or early June). Also, my extension cord I use is 10 gauge, for those curious. I can gurantee you that it is more than capable of providing the current...

    tried the menzerna line up

    Menzerna is the only product I am going to use once I finish out the various lines I purchased from AG to try. While I agree that most of the products AG sells to do the work, Menzerna does it better. I also like the fact that Menzerna FP II contains little to no fillers/hiders, which is...

    6" backing plate on PC??

    Yeah, I think this may be my issue as well. I went ahead and put the threaded handle shaft on it and put it to work on some large truck panels. It did get warm, but not hot, using the same 6" backing plate. I'll chalk it up to a combination of my hands covering the vent/breathing area and the...

    6" backing plate on PC??

    I was trying to think of the pressure issue. With the larger backing plate, it would be very easy to apply more pressure to the pad and not notice. With the smaller backing plate, you can actually see the pad bend around the backing plate as you apply more pressure. The extension cord isn't...

    6" backing plate on PC??

    I have a 6" backing plate and was wondering if the PC can handle it. I am working on large, flat panels(truck) and don't need the safety margin of the smaller backing plate on a 6.5" pad. However, I feel like the PC may have been getting a tad warmer, almost hot, during use, so I went back to...

    P21s & S100

    I'm jumping in on this as well. I would like to know. I can say the P21S is reviewed often and very well liked in the reviews I read on it. Todd

    Wet sanding orange peel

    I take it upon myself to wet sand just about every car we purchase over the first several months of ownership. I do NOT like orange peel and I love to purchase black vehicles. The Magnum in my avatar is only about 50% completed at this time and our black Dodge Ram is just now being finished...

    DACP#83 and Poorboys SSR3?

    Interesting....I do not like SSR3 with my rotary. I get very little working time with it. I have had good results with SSR3 and my PC. Do small areas at a time, but it can really cut some tuff swirl/paint issues that way. Todd

    well i thought i got all the swirls out but

    It may sound like a bit more dramatic step, but I have used compound and extra cut compounds with my PC and a yellow pad and got great results. I would suggest you try one area or panel at a time and completely wipe it down with a alcohol/water mix or a prep cleaner to see where you are at...

    How do you get polish residue out of plastic

    Okay, the PB worked, but now I am told it is only the oil in PB that allow the stain to disappear just like hitting it with black again or similar. Basically, it sounds like the residue is going to show again a few washes down the road. Todd

    How do you get polish residue out of plastic

    I had a little failure of my painters tape a while back. It was covering some of t his textured black plastic you find on so many of the vehicles today. I have tried several things to remove the residue, the whitish discoloration, from the plastic, but it continues to show up after every few...

    RV detail.. college party bus

    Good going....I honestly would not take on a job like that. It is hard enough to get me to clean my house......I'll clean the cars anyday, but I like the exterior more than interior work..... Todd

    Zaino Z2Pro vs. Poorboys EX-P

    It will depend on what you are using to polish the vehicle out with. PB's has a final polish with carnuaba in it and you cannot do that under Zaino. The surface must be free from wax and oils for Zaino. I haven't gotten good results using Zaino and the PC to apply it....If it is working for...

    Edge 2000 4" Pads

    Couldn't wait any longer. Ordered the AG spot buff kit. It will be a while before I wear out those pads, so the Edge system will be put on the back burner for a long while... Todd

    For the pro detailer!!

    The kit is nice, but I have to put my 2 cents in on the additional 2 backing plates. Most of us already have backing plates from our purchase of the PC included in one of your kits and I simply don't need to waste money on additional backing plates(especially 5" plates.....). It would be nice...
