We just recently got a pair of used 2008 Sea Doo RXT-X Wave Runners. The beasts have 255 horse power and will take you for a real ride. I decided though that the exterior needed to match the performance. My problem is that I cannot seem to get a good shine off of the gel coat. The boats have...

If money is no object then I would have it transported to the UK and have Topaz Detailing take care of it. My understanding is that they are the best in the world.

I understand that I have to wait for payment to clear, however with my debit card it clears just as fast as anything else, and it clears right away. I also understand that there might be hundreds of orders ahead, but if they are going to tell me on the shipping page that it'll be sent on x/y/z...

What frustrates me the most with Autogeek shipping is when I placed an order with a value of $775 on a Saturday and it took them till Thursday to ship it. I understand it's a large order, but 4 days processing??? Especially when you claimed on your shipping processing page 1 business day. That...

I just have to ask have you tested it with the rupes pads? Also do you have put a line on your backing plate to know when it starts stalling?

I know that m105 and m205 are solvent based products and the rupes pads are designed to be used with water based polishes. The rupes pads I have had no problem polishing a Tacoma this weekend. I only really went through 1 3in pad but I didn't harm any of the 7in pads. I know that fg400 and...

I have tried both the meguires microfiber and the rupes foam and I like them both pretty equally. The microfiber doesn't really sling or dust as much but does leave a DA haze. The rupes dusts a lot more but doesn't leave behind a haze (that's with the blue pad and zephir). I haven't yet tried...

I think it also needs to be stated what size pad you are using. As on the 100mm pads I use 2 drops then 1 till I switch, but I on the 170mm pads I'll use like 5-6 drops, and then 3 till I switch.

On my car which was neglected for the first 9 out of 10 years of its life I have polished it using the blue pad and then going straight to white to make it extra beautiful. It's and 05 Toyota Camry, not really sure how the paint is in terms of hardness compared to others. I use the appropriate...

Your best bet would to test it in an inconspicuous spot first. Maybe the bottom of the metal and just see if there's any problems with it. Then once you know either way you can take the correct course of action.

It could also possibly be that the paint is so soft that you will need to do a further jeweling step to remove those marks. This could happen if it is DA haza. Just a thought though.

It's my understanding that the blue rupes pad should be used for correcting heavy oxidation and deep swirls/rids. Then you can use the green pad for swirls too. The white pad can also be used for jeweling the paint. My question is is the yellow pad necessary. I recently order white, blue, and...

I was glad that there was the 15% off sale. I made a purchase of over $600 so I might have gone a little overboard. I got a rupes mini as well as pads for it and my 21 plus other misc. stuff.

You don't want to use ammonia as it can mess with window tint that is installed aftermarket (almost all)

Can you not push it in any farther? I didn't realize that buckets came in different sizes.
