For the money, DURAGLOSS makes some great products. You don't need any fancy Si02 based sealants or Graphene coatings or infused sealants. While I certainly have and use Si02 and graphene infused waxes and sealants, I personally prefer the #105 along with their #601 Bonding Agent put on the...

POLISHANGEL makes a really good two step system for leather called Charisma and Bella Clean. It's similar to the Leatherique system where you apply the Charisma first and wait for it to work 30 minutes to infinity depending on how long you want to leave it on the leather. I usually apply the...

My ultimate trio from CarPro is FIXER, REFLECT, and then ESSENCE. Once I get to the essence, I used the Car Pro Gloss Pad and after a couple passes, I ramp the speed up to about speed 5 and let the gloss pad barely touch the paint with just the pressure of the polisher itself and let it...

I have a 2014 Nissan 370Z in red. I just did a full cut and polish and I used Menzerna FG400 to cut and level the paint. Then I used CarPro Essence in a two stage process. I used Essence with a polishing pad. Then I redid the entire vehicle with a black finishing pad, again using CarPro...

CAN THIS PRODUCT BE USED AS A RINSELESS WASH? (i.e. Can I dilute it down with distilled water or some type of treated water and use a sponge to wash the vehicle with the solution to use as a RINSELESS WASH similar to what ONR does?) I have a daily driver I just waxed with one of the new CERAMIC...

Re: Pictures: New FLEX PXE by Mike Phillips I will definitely be adding one of these incredible looking tools to my FLEX arsenal of tools. I absolutely love my 3401 forced rotation unit as it can really correct some paint flaws with speed and precision. I also love my KOMPACT Flex tool...

Pardon the pun, but literally the new "Gold Standard" of paint correction. There are very few equals to Scholl Concepts products (both in compounds/polishes and their pad innovation).

For the smaller areas I actually used 3" pads of cut, polish, finish. I got a 3" german made METABO DA polisher/sander for Christmas. Metabo is a fantastic machine. It's similar to the popular small DA polisher that Griot's sells. I know a lot of people use the Griot's 3" machine as it's...

I would say YES to your question about having a few more of the cutting pads vs. the polishing pads. Typically, I don't use as many polishing pads as I do cutting pads but that all depends on the product being used.

:dblthumb2:I have not experimented using the FG400 or the Reflect yet on the Nanoskin pads. I have just stuck with using the Nanoskin products Speed Cut, Formula 67, and Nanocut on the three different nanoskin pads. I really like the Nanoskin system and their products work very well if used...

I have these Microbuff Pads (The Compounding and Polishing Pads) I must say, I have had extremely good results with these pads! I am a complete "novice" in detailing and I am only a "home enthusiast". I am not a professional detailer at all nor do I do detailing for any type of profit...
