    Steamer Attachment Compatibility / Chief and Duprey

    Also, anyone run one of the 220V machines? I have a Honda EU7000 generator that would run 220. Is the upgrade that big over 110?

    Steamer Attachment Compatibility / Chief and Duprey

    After a bunch of years my chief steamer 125 finally bit the dust. I am looking at replacing it, but also considering a Duprey Hill Injection model. Does anyone know if the assessors (hoses, etc.) fit each other or are cross compatible? I have a big bag of assessors and it would be nice to...

    Marine 31 Captain Coating

    I have never used Marine 31, but I had some high spots that I missed on the hood of my Audi using CQuatz UK 3.0 (a different ceramic coating product for paint). I compounded the hood with a fine polish and pad and then an ultra fine polish and pad then Eraser (an IPA based cleaner to remove...

    Ceramic Coating Removal

    I'd like to redo a panel I did in Cquartz 3.0 and Gliss to remove some light scuffs I put on the coating and then reapply both to the panel. Which Rules pad and polish would be ideal? Do I need to go to a green? Or would a yellow be better. I don't mind multiple steps either. Also, the...

    1st time machine compounding, a bit disappointed

    I am fairly new at machine compounding, but I use the Rupes pads and polishes because they work and are fairly idiot proof. The previous poster is right about the sling on the blue pads, but other than being a bit messy, they work as advertised. Someone put a 5 inch (and pretty deep into the...

    KILLER CAR WASH - Wolfgang Uber SiO2 Coating Wash

    Two questions: Would this product be good to wash a CQuartz UK 3.0 coated / Gliss topcoated car; and Can I put this product in the chemical bottle of my Chief 125 Steamer like I currently do with a rinseless wash product and apply through my steamer to wash the car. Chief Steamer 125...

    Carpro question??? I am so confused....

    I am not a pro and just got into working my own vehicles. I have a Rupes: Nano, Mini, Bigfoot 21, Mille, and the new Rotary. I use all of them. I gave away some of the cheaper orbitals I started with. If I had to pick one it would be the Mille. You can crush cars/paint and boats/gel with...

    New GMC Denali 3500 Dually Black

    I have Rupes polishers, pads, and polish and basically the same truck ('16 GMC Black 2500). Its been through a physical carwash several times (don't ask how or why) and it has lots of swirls and micro scratches that I want to address. What would be the advised Rupes pad and polish to start...

    New GMC Denali 3500 Dually Black

    I have a '16 Black 2500 Denali with a Black Canopy. Its a lot of real estate. And its tall and hard to get to. My wife also has a Black SUV. I broke down and ordered a Rupes BigFoot 21, Mini, and Nano. These pretty much cover the gamut of spaces that need polishing. I also like the fact...

    Cleaning microfiber towels with steam?

    Lately I have been using cheap Costco/Kirkland microfiber for a lot of tasks and just treat them as disposable. Complete the task/toss in trash/done. The pack is so cheap and they seem to do fine. I have some nicer towels that I save for some tasks, but I have not seen any evidence yet that...
