    what product to use next.....

    thanks - good point - wasn't thinking straight there on the pigtails.... I probably could have used another pass or so with the rotary. I will say that after several days of morning then evening sessions with the PC and then the Dewalt, my arms are feeling it :p Depending on how next weekend...

    what product to use next.....

    Well, I decided to plow forward with the kit I had..... after wet/damp sanding to 3000 grit with the PC7424XP I used the Marine 31 Heavy-Cut Oxidation Cleaner and a wool cutting pad on the Dewalt rotary polisher - this brought a lot of reflection & luster out of the gel-coat. I followed up...

    New Car - prep before OptiCoat

    Any issues with opti coating, then PPF and the applying a coat of Opti-coat to tend PPF (as I will have plenty). Seem to be reading conflicting answers if the Opti-coat could cause adhesion issues with the PPF - though I believe I've read at least one response from Chris at Opti indicating it...

    New Car - prep before OptiCoat

    New to the forum - and my new car :) If this is in the wrong place, please excuse and help relocate..... I took delivery of a 2015 Mazda 6 last week and I have an appointment in about 2 weeks to have paint protection film applied to the front bumper, partial hood and side-view mirrors. I...
