I was taxed with polishing the rims, chrome/SS trim and a SS tank for the fire department. I have access to a HS buffer as well as a Older PC. Looking for recommendations on the pads/wool for the buffers and what chemicals are recommended. The wheels are alcoa and they are in rough shape, the...

I remember when 1/4 scale was just coming out. Those got crazy expensive, way past that max price even.

The R?C Hobby like any thing has a rabbit hole that you can get sucked into. I worked at a Hobby shop for 17 years and signed my paycheck back to the boss on more occasions then I would like to admit. We supported the local racers in our area that traveled to different tracks to race throughout...

The problems with genesis is that they are not marketed well so know one knows they are available. I know of a ship close by that has both brands and I think they service 1 a month and maybe sell one a month if they are lucky. No dealer principle is going to build a stand alone store for a...

I guess as far as type of correction I am not sure I understand what you are asking. I have the usual swirls and light scratches from people running there hands on a dirty vehicle. I want the scratches to be gone, I want to keep the vehicles looking there best. If I can use the DA I have and...

I was given a PC DA buffer that is one of the original units not the XP but it was upgraded with a 5" backing plate and several Chem guys hex logic pads. I am looking to maintain my black truck and wife's dark blue van. Will I be able to get good results with this setup or should I step up to...

I am currently using the original porter cable buffer the non xp version and am thinking of upgrading. I am also looking at getting into a pressure washer. I can only do one purchase at this time and am looking for recommendations. Thank you in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, I have not been able to get to my shed were it was being stored for the winter. The pressure washer is a 2150 PSI with a 1.9 GPM. I am looking for MTM but can't seem to find there site.

I was gifted an older Craftsman gas power washer from my folks since then never used it more than once a year. I would like to upgrade the hose and the gun to more usable one. If possible please leave part numbers for what is recommended as I am having a hard time figuring out what I need to go...

I have the whole 2 bucket system lots of MF towels as well as an assortment of waffle towels from a few suppliers to get my washing done but havent done any paint correction in 20+ years. I was given a PC 7335 to add to my collection but havent thought about digging it out until now. I have a...

I used to detail my cars all by hand when i was 20+ years younger and have since let time slip by. I recently purchased a used Black Honda Ridgeline that I want to take care of compared to my last POS as well as my wife's Blue Odessey as the kids are hard on that vehicle. I have lots of...

I'm not sure on the paint. The oldest truck which won't get much love is about about 20 years old and the newest is 10 years old.

We would prefer a machine to use due to the size of the items and the quanity. I have 3 engines, 2 tenders W/ 2000 gallon stainless tank bodies, 2 ambulance, 1 brush truck, and 1 command car. I think it would take me a year from start to finish to do the entire fleet and then have to start all...

I have been tasked with finding a "kit" for making our rigs shine, especially the polished stainless and chrome. We do have an IO water system that is supposed to be used to help eliminate the hard water spots but not everyone uses it like there supposed to. Any way on to my question. We are...

I have a PC/Meguires 7336 Polisher and it currently has a backing plate on it but I would like to remove it to go to a different brand and also a smaller unit for some metal polishing. I was looking at how to remove the plate but I see 2 problems. 1. I don't seem to have a spindle lock 2. I...
