    Battery-Operated DA Polisher Available?

    I had the same problem with no power available sometimes. A 400 watt inverter hooked straight to the battery runs my PC now when I do mobile headlight restorations. I got the inverter to run small electrical items while tailgating but it has no problems running the PC unless it's going for a...

    Microfiber cutting pads -- 5 or 6 inch?

    I read on another forum that DA's work better with smaller pads, rotary with larger. I won't get into specifics of how and why. I've also found that larger pads can bog down some DA's and slow or stop rotation. 5"-5.5" is a good compromise between the larger and smaller pads. I use 5.5" and...

    Headlight Restoration Fail, Please Help!!

    1000 is hard to cut unless it's a softer lens and some heavy duty equipment is used. I have had luck on some lights with 1000 grit, Flex 3401, Meguiar's Xtra Cut Microfiber Disc, and M100. Cutting it out by hand or yellow pad and UC would be a tedious if not almost impossible task. Best bet...

    Boom! Menzerna raises the bar again!

    Looks like a new tool for me. Guess I'll be making a huge order for hybrid pads, like I don't have plenty of flat already. And the wife thought she'd get to upgrade appliances after the house fire. We don't need no whiz bang super food cooker when I can upgrade detailing equipment instead. She...

    Detailer's with bad back's check in.

    Lol, sealership work. Got a father/son duo car salesmen in my apartments. The father knows I do higher end detailing. The son made a comment about me getting some extra work at his dealership since they needed detailers. I told him I can't compete with production detailers. And I've got my own...

    Boom! Menzerna raises the bar again!

    Next set of cloudy headlights I do will get an LC foamed wool with FG400 and the Flex. Been using M100 and right to Opti-Lens. Polishing didn't get any discernible difference. M100 and Meg's Xtra Cut took out 600 grit sanding marks on the last set I did with a little cloudiness. The wool pad...

    Detailer's with bad back's check in.

    Sitting here now contorted from a half day of polishing. Tried to get my little girl to walk on it but she's not interested. And my chiro is moving and probably won't be set up till late next week. I did notice prednisone I took for an allergic rash had me pain free for about a month. Might have...

    Detailer's with bad back's check in.

    I've got one too. Soft tissue injury from the Air Force about 12 years ago. Army docs misdiagnosed and I got bad treatment. Had to have an Air Force neurosurgeon figure it out and let them know they screwed me up worse. Used to just be my lower back. Now its from my neck to my toes. Only...
