Looking for a new color match light. Any non china made ones out there?

Blackstone Laboratories | Oil Analysis - Learn What's Going On In Your Engine I have switched every one of my vehicles except for the antiques, over to synthetic oil, Mobile one. I used to have oil analysis run on my vehicles to help determine when the oil change was needed. It's really the...

I just finished up a job on a Hudson that had been repainted in the 90's with single stage acrylic enamel. Someone had tried to wipe off some overspray from another job that had settled on the car. They used abrasive cleaning pads on one quarter and had scratched the hell out of it. I used a...

The "oily" part doesn't bother me, seems to clean up fine. I wish they produced buffing pads to complement their products. The variety of products have made it much harder for people like me to choose, I would like to stick with one line, top to bottom.

I am confused when looking at the Menzerna products chart, namely the "cut and gloss" portion. Menzerna Polishing Compounds Products of Germany Somehow the "gloss" does not make sense to me. Shouldn't the "gloss" ration go up with each succeeding finer cut polish? Also see the "300" listed...

Mike, How different is this from the 3401? My hands are getting arthritic and something easier to use would be nice. I do love my 3401!

I see that autogeek has discontinued the Trizact 5000. What is recommended in place of it? I had been using abralon 1000-2000-3000-4000 but found that Trizact 1500-3000-5000 did a faster job on some hard clear I am working on. Then using Merzana 400 and finer to finish. (Flex 3401 and 6" wool...

To me, there is a big difference in "gloss" and "depth". You can have two identical cars side by side and paint depth will beat gloss in my eyes.

Mike, I'd like to get a copy of the form. Thanks, [email protected]

For this reason alone, my next polisher will be a RUPES. I hear all the time about guys wanting USA made tools. Now you have a top of the line polisher that is made here.

Mike, where is the belt made?

Just purchased a Flex 3401 from AG and love it. However, now that I can buy an "assembled in the USA" RUPES, that will be my next machine purchase.

I forgot to say that I had color sanded with 4000 grit last before buffing. Well I finally broke down and bought a Flex 3401 (Jessie at auto geek) and want to say what a good handling machine it is. After reading about some that complained about the reverse rotation affecting handling, I was...

I'm having a heck of a time with getting the final finish I want with Tamco 2021 Clear. One is a roof panel on a 53 Hudson sedan that was base coated and cleared about 3 months ago. The other is a Toyota Tacoma hood that was sprayed less than 24 hours ago. Same issue with both, buffing the...
