I agree! I just slapped my 5" no on my 21 and polished a corolla. That bad boy is a defect killing machine and I don't thing it's possible to stop the backing plate regardless of how the panel is shaped.

My favorite was ONR the Original version! I don't know why but I like it better than any of the fruity or scented products out there.

Dave, There certainly is the potential for a profit. I am in the car business now and I sell used cars. I handle taking care of all of the reconditioning to fielding calls to drafting up the paperwork. When I came on board there were a few things I brought to the table... A keen eye to the...

I haven't had a single issue with mine. It is the DA that I use most and I have that, the PCxp and the Griots. Sorry to hear you are having troubles with yours

Being in the car business, I much prefer to have the detail done right. Selling a clean car is much easier than a dirty car. Don't get caught up in paint correction because people (him and his customers) don't look for that. The interior is very important and when working on the exterior remove...

I would like to see cheaper disposable applicators for Opticoat. I haven't used the neoprene applicators yet but if they really do work great I would rather have a smaller applicator that is cheaper and I can just throw it away when I am done. I will certainly buy one of these applicators and...

If you read any sales book out there all of them will tell you that if the person tries to speed up the sales process by jumping right to price they arent a customer anyways. If you give a price without a thorough explanation of what that price includes the potential customer has no idea what...

I agree Mark. I rarely use any other tool other than my traditional DA. I only pull out the rotary for nostalgia sake and only one car recently was the flex and easier machine to use. The microfiber system really changed everything for me. I don't even use a v2 g110, I use the v1 and it kicks...

Yes it is. I use that all of the time now. You tilt the pad and work the defect with the edge of the pad. You have to find the right amount of pressure and tilt to get optimum results from this. But once you do you can remove almost any removable defect. I have removed 800 grit dry sand marks...

Here is a link to an article/write up I did using a different technique to attain maximum defect removal with a DA. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/products-guides/39598-edging-da-game-changer.html Maybe this can help, it did with me.

That is an interesting idea. I have never done it before and if I were to try it I would use an APC that I know is safe such as OPC. Maybe throw some ONR in with it for some extra glide? If you try it let me know. I dont have a lease turn in with overspray where I could try it on right now...

I say go with the regular DA. I have 2 rotaries, Flex 3401, PC, GG6, and Megs g110 v1. I use every single tool I have for the most part. I have basically hung up my rotaries though. I use my g110 v1 most just because it was the first DA I got. The reason I would go with a DA is because...

No it is much easier to wipe off... But they are two totally different products used for two totally different reasons. 105 has much more cut. D151 has protection incorporated into it. What machine and pads were you using? And what was your goal for the project?

Gmck, I'm not totally sure the point you are trying to make? Is it to let everyone know that they may need to wait 90 days to polish it? Or is it to try and discredit Optimum?

I think you have a valid point. I do this part time now and when I say part time I have only one car under my belt in the last 6 months. And I haven't been on here much since I started the new job I know. Prior to starting my new job I detailed full time. I posted some of my work but I also...
