    Giveaway! Flex Changeable Backing Plate System

    I love my Flex and how quick it cuts with the forced rotations. Also love the significantly reduced vibration compared to a PC. Love this machine and the ability to change pads would push this over the top!

    No problem. Mine is a 97 F250 Heavy Duty (square body style) that has a beautiful cab, but the bed has the typical New England camouflage over the wheel wells. Unfortunately, nothing too unique, just a diamond in the rough. The paint was neglected and had some brush rub on it, but once I...

    You too can burn paint with your 3401, follow these easy steps!

    Thanks Mike, I should have been more diligent about documenting the process and all I have is the one lame cell phone pic LOL :) We worked on the truck for several months so it was: go over, work for an hour or two, then leave. Great experience though. I learned a lot from it and I'm...

    Actually I did it all with the 3401. I used the foamed wool pad with Poorboy's SSR3 for the initial cut, Optimum polish after that and wrapped up with Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish (which was the first time I used it, love the product). I experimented with a few different products (PB...

    Thanks, we painted and wet sanded the entire truck. Didn't come out bad for a barn paint job. :D First time wet sanding to that extent.

    Bingo, the whole truck was torn apart so while the bed was off I played with the back of the cab. I had many, many hours into that thing.

    It was a great opportunity to try. I was always careful but always wondered what "threshold of adventure" was as far as how much was too much pressure on an edge and so on and so forth. Here's how the truck came out after I wet sanded and buffed.

    Black spots on my truck - artillary fungus

    Ugh, I deal with this a lot and haven't found an easy way yet. I've found the clay to load up with just the top part of the fungus and can scratch the paint leaving the spots behind. Any thoughts on using a plastic razor blade? I'll have to try vinegar.

    I like Mustangs!

    Here was mine before I got rid of her. Wife lost her job so the toy had to go. :( Definitely will have another some day!

    Optimum G-P-S is Here + Giveaway!

    Super interested in this since Poli-Seal is my go-to AIO, just used it this weekend on a customer car as a matter of fact. I've always been a fan of the Optimum line and actually got started with the original Optimum compound and Polish. Also enjoyed Optimum hyper-compound too. Love the...
