    Oh. Can you not use the flex 3401 with a microfiber pad? Do I need to purchase a different polisher?

    Water etched windows and paint help requested.

    I purchased a LR4 with severe water etched windows and paint. Because the car is white the spots are not that noticeable to the average person but they irritate me. My windows though are pretty terrible as well as any trim. I have tried to fix the windows with vinegar, 0000 steel wool etc...

    Mike, I need your help with my 2014 RV

    Mike, Another question. Why not recommend something like marine31 or meguairs marine wax? Is there a significant difference when protecting a gel coat versus an automobile clear coat? Thanks Phillip

    Considering selling flex 3401 and buying griots random

    I feel like the flex is too much of an orbital buffer and with a narrow throw. I am wondering if a larger throw will give me a better, faster shine without the risks of swirls by using the flex. I have used the flex 2x and it is ok but it doesn't seem like it is exactly what I am looking for...

    Remove wax prior then sanding and compounding???

    Sorry but but not sure what bc/cc or SS is. I do know that this part of the car was repainted hence the orange peel. I did already wet sand it and did a good correction but noticed that after I polished it I needed to do one more spot. I used a paint thickness gauge and the paint is averaging...

    Remove wax prior then sanding and compounding???

    This may be a stupid question but I need to lightly wet sand some areas of my hood and of course compound my hood. The hood has a fresh coat of polish and wax. Do I need to remove the polishes first before wet sanding and compounding? If I do not remove the polish and start compounding will...
