    Rupes LHR 12E Duetto or LHR 15ES for Weekend Warrior

    I am in the market for a new polisher and I am having a hard time deciding between the Duetto and the LHR 15ES. I am a weekend warrior and will mainly use it for my own car and some friends and family that ask for a detail. Because of this I am thinking that the LHR 15ES might be to much machine...

    Foam vs Microfiber Pads For Soft Paint

    Going to do some work on my Subaru this weekend. I normally use foam pads as I can get away with using some fairly non aggressive pads to get good correction. I have been noticing that more and more people are using microfiber pads. I was just wondering if I would get quicker or better results...

    A Shiny Red G8 GT... showing the benefits of a one step correction on a daily driver.

    This might be a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyway lol. I see that you washed and decontaminated the car, then put it away for the night and polished it the next day. My question is did you do anything to the car the next morning to get dust or anything like that off the car that...

    Paint Correction: Hood Scoop and Spoiler

    There not deep ... It's basically just swirls. I don't plan on using any compound. I've got some SF4000 and going to work my way up if needed. I know the paint is soft so I figure it should't take much to get them out.

    Oh ok now I get it lol. I will definitely watch out for that. I have a bottle of blacklight so I will use that. I will order some SF4000 and Crimson LC pads. Just hope the weather up here in Canada warms up soon so I can get to work lol.

    Compound and Polish Help

    Thanks allot for your help guys. I will defiantly be picking up some SF4000. Would you know what the Hex-Logic equivalent to the Crimson LC or black Menzerna pad be? I currently have white and black Hex-Logic pads so I'm hoping to use those and not have to buy new ones lol.

    Compound and Polish Help

    Hello everyone, This is my first post and I'am still a bit of a noob when it comes to paint correction so please take it easy on me lol.
