Thank you, it really is a gem. It is a manual, and my friend reluctantly sold it because the car does not suit a growing family anymore.. but nevertheless we were happy with the result!

Had a chance to detail friend's Bright Red 1997 Toyota Celica over the weekend. Since I only had 5 hours block of time I asked my friend to wash the car prior coming to my house so I can go straight to paint correction. :xyxthumbs: Because of the limited time and the car was going to be put on...

I actually have this thing just for spreading AND removing wax at night time / midnight since noise is an issue even with DA on speed 2. I can say it is pretty quiet, definitely a time saver and saves your arm. But if noise is not an issue I would choose DA over this. There was a hack I read...

Hello fellow Aussie detailer! I understand your frustration of difficulty getting many products mentioned in AG Online from retail stores over here. Last time I check M66, FK215, Optimum GPS, DG105, Zaino AIO, Chem Guys are available from Australian online stores. If you want the websites...

Just curious. For those who have both types of machines, any particular situation you would use just DA ie. PC 7424XP and other situation you'd grab the Forced Rotation ie. Flex 3401?

Great article, thanks for writing! Is it just me that use dishwashing liquid like dawn / fairy? It's easy to dissolve, cleans well and rinse off clean with no residue. And it's cheap.

I have this exact same one from Japan and have used it several times. To last years?? Hmm.. I applied on my windscreen that was well prepped with glass polish and IPA lasted about a month before I need to reapply again. But definitely lasts longer than rain-x What I really like is the...

You're welcome! :thumbup: Just bear in mind the wax might turns softer when your body temperature warms it up in your pocket :)

That's good size. At 2.5oz should make enough wax stick to do 20-30 cars?

Ouch! In case you use a pot/pan on the stove with this plastic bag trick, make sure the plastic bag never touch the pot/pan, otherwise the hot pot/pan might melt & puncture the plastic bag.

Thanks guys! :) I have used the wax stick twice now and absolutely loving it everytime!

I totally agree with Mike Phllips and Ken. In fact I just did an experiment over the weekend to try out how effective an AIO with polishing pad was. I purposely 'scour' a test section of my paint with surbuf MF pad to simulate haze and dullness. I then taped half a section and used Megs...

When I read somewhere in the forum that someone made their own wax stick from a paste wax I decided to make one myself. As many of us know, spreading wax by machine is easier, faster, more uniform and can apply very thin. Applying wax to the foam pad is not an issue with with liquid waxes...
