The plastic plug is easy to lose (at least for me). An easy fix is to add liquid rubber for tool handles on the end of the brush. Dipped the brush with about 5 coats of it on the end and it has lasted for a year now. Other than that, it is the best that I have used.

Even better, for those with that kind of bent (me...) the new 2010 Fusion will be available as a hybrid with a reported 38 mpg overall rating. With that car, the Escape and the European Focus and Fiesta imported/produced here, Ford is looking like it MIGHT make it for another year.

Another here for good old 3M.

Makita at 10 amps = 1200 watts Most 6 HP Shop Vacs at +/- 12 amps = 1440 watts Halogen lights (if needed) assumed to be 1200 watts With nothing but lights and Shop Vac, you would need 2640 watts plus a safety margin (startup draw) of roughly 30% which would give you +/- 3432. If the numbers...

On a DD I learned a long time ago to accept a certain amount of rock chips, minor dings (door bumps) and other imperfections in the paint. When they total up to an unacceptable amount it's repaint time. What is considered an unacceptable amount of dings varies greatly however between different...

Thanks Megan....

OK, I have learned to live with the lids on Sig II and Sov but I tried my new jar of Fusion today. Max has GOT to find a better jar for a $175.00 wax.... It took a minute to get the #!%* lid back on. And yes, I learned about righty tighty, lefty loosey about 50 years ago.... My neighbor kept...

You could put a good carnauba over the sealant as it will "warm up" the look. IMO, I would not put NXT over my sealant but that's just me... I like a nice carnauba....

If your paint is real soft, I doubt that you will need 105 and a cutting pad. For soft paint, try your mildest polish with a finish pad and then start working up until you find a combination that works. Don't be afraid to try a mild polish with a cutting pad or a more aggressive polish with a...

If you are going to the effort of learning, buy the Makita rotary or equal (DeWalt, Metabo, Flex, Hitachi....). You have some great products and the rotary will help utilize them them to the fullest. Pads are more personal than anything else. I use the edge system for the PC and the Makita as I...

hvaughn, I still use SSR every now and then. You need to work it a little longer. If you still have any marring of the paint, go to a blue or grey finishing pad. I have and use Menz Nano, Final Polish and Micro Polish, 3M Ultrafina and PB SSR 1 as my final polish. They might have slight...

Use 2 pads. If the white does not work with the SSR 2.5, try the orange with it and then the white with SSR 1

Sciontest, Natty's blue over WDGPS is a great combo that I have used a lot. Another to try is Natty's red. I don't think they can be beat for the money.

Autozone carries CD2 (at least in the southeast)

colonel, I think you need to take this area back to bare metal, prime and start from scratch. Does the entire car have this problem? I know how my temper would flare if this was my car and these "spots" showed up on the new paint.... The car would need a LOT of body work done at that point....
