I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but how can you call a place a Mexican eatery if it sells queso dip? I have never seen anything remotely resembling queso dip anywhere in Mexico. Having said that, I understand the appeal of queso dip, I just don't think it has anything to do with good Mexican...

I've had the Harbor Freight for a couple of months and it's been great for me. I've worked on my own car and a friend's and have had zero issues. Got it for $50 with a two year warranty. I bought a 5" backing plate for it and have never used the 6" one that came with it, so I can't comment on...

I use a 5" Meg's backing plate with my Opt cutting and polishing 5.25" MF pads, and it's worked fine for me. Can't answer definitively on the 3.25" pads though since I don't have any, but I imagine your trimmed down 3" plate is the right way to go.

501 ftw

I'll be interested to see how this compares to HD Poxy in terms of looks (since they're obviously different in price and the fact that one's a paste, the other a liquid). Anyone know of other waxes or sealants that use montan wax?

Ralph, the backing plate you have listed is for a rotary polisher, not a DA. The correct Meguiar's backing plate for the HF DA would be this one: Meguiars Mirror Glaze W67DA G110 DA Polisher 5 inch Backing Plate I have this same DA/backing plate combo myself, and it's worked great for me. I'm...

CM8, what makes you say Ultimate Polish is better than SF4500? I'm curious because I was thinking of picking up some SF4500 for finishing and soft paints.

Unfortunately, Square doesn't have a Blackberry app. If you have an iPod Touch or an iPad and a wifi connection (or can tether your Blackberry), that could be a solution.

Actually, there's at least one other online retailer who sells SV over the net. I know because their warehouse/showroom is less than a 10 min drive from my house, and I bought an SV wheel brush from them recently. Works great too.

Thanks a lot! Exactly the info I was looking for. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! I'm new around here, but I've already learned so much from you. So thank you, and best wishes for your new life together!

Hi Roshan, just checked out your video and also read the thread with your m101 review. Great job on both—thanks for putting in all that work. I had a couple of questions and would appreciate any feedback you have. 1. I noticed you also have Hyper Compound. How does Hyper Compound compare to...

Thanks mg, the info in that post was exactly what I was looking for. On a side note, I swung by the Chemical Bros headquarters in LA on Sunday and picked up some Blacklight and V7 for cheap. Nice to have that option when I'm too impatient to wait for an autogeek shipment. It's a bit like...

Thanks again everyone—looks like I'll be using the tangerine foam pads. I might pick up an Opt MF disc and try a side-by-side comparison, though I've been buying so much stuff lately I don't know if it's worth it. How many foam pads do you guys usually go through we polishing a whole car? I...

68bowtie, do you finish with HP on your white pad or do you use something else afterwards?
