I stopped watching all those guys myself. So contrived the vast majority of it. I don't watch so many detailing videos actually...go riddance lol Are the brothers from BIO Bombs? I think some of the people involved had/have good intentions. Definitely not the 2 French Canadian guys. Which are...

I almost ordered the Mark 5 when it was first released. Good to hear your happy with the purchase. Beautiful machine. I just can't justify the price. Its ridiculous. Flex as even become worst. I'm still happy with my first generation 15mm griots polisher - i've had it close to 7 years now. Its...

Some really good corded 15mm machines too that are relatively inexpensive. Shinemate 620 would be an example. Liquid elements also have a new more powerful 15mm corded machine. Both have more power than the Mark 5. Rupes is a high priced cult brand IMO. edit: Barjack tools is the new kid on the...

Finally! What can you guys tell me about the replacement makita batteries on amazon. I just quickly found two 5.0Ah batteries for like $50USD. awful cheap.

FYI Labocosmetica is working on a rinseless with no sealant - i might get a full gallon, without any reviews, i like Labocosmetica that much. My gold sponge never got stained from Idrosave personally. I don't let my sponge soak in the solution, if that's the reason... If i was looking for a...

Lake Country as updated their Blue Sponge. It's probably just as good as anything out there. My big gold sponge is still holding up fine.

If i could get one of those Hercules machines in Canada, i probably would. Never tried force before. Barjack plans to make one too but i doubt it will be as cheap as HF. They are making one that spins clockwise.

Great looking machines. I'm still contend with my first generation griots G15. Its a nice polisher. Good bit more power than my SPTA 15mm cordless. If i ever buy another machine it will be something cordless i'd imagine - shinemate as a nice machine but i expect they are working on a new unit...

Just the fact it can remove some decent defects really. DA fine is a nice polish too with some bite to it. 3D One is good but many similar products out their so i'm no One fanboy. I like working with Perfect Finish, Labo's leale etc more. One has more bite than those 2 however all things being...

I would just keep using the Scholl stuff. 3D One and S20 are both 1 step light cutting polishes. Very similar performance i'd imagine. I have use One a nice bit. Its oily if you use to much.

Yeah I'm sure you will be fine with lake country's orange pads with a super fine polish. Of course you could try a different liquid. Some AIO's have decent correction. But we are splitting hairs at this point. Advanced does have abrasives and besides being mindful of the thin consistently its...

v2 is super simple to use. I wasn't looking for any correction so i didn't really pay much attention. If you want some correction use lake country SDO Blue or orange one step microfiber. Other options could be the blue teal rupes pads or yellow wool, buff and shine uro 50/50 and foam...

I would use the LC orange too. The soft finishing pads are best suited for 2 step polishing. Using the black sdo pad will be a waste of time imo. I have about 12 foam pads and 8 or so are medium orange and yellow foam pads :) Lots of people 1 step with the BLUE SDO/HDO too for harder and more...

Its decent. I'm going to try it again i think in 4 weeks, when i get home. Its a thin pink like liquid and i found it a bit more work to clean out the pads. But no big deal. You can leave it on the panel for a longtime before wiping too if you want to speed polish and do whole panels at a time...

You bought Rupes DA fine pads for a Porter Cable? Too big man IMO - they are designed for large throw machines with more power. Just stick with the CCS pads. Or if you want to try something different the Lake Country SDO flat or CCS pads.
