I know this has probably been answered already. I know that the flex requires more cushioning on the MF pads than the rupes so I'm leaning towards the optimum pads. Just want to make sure this is the BEST choice. Thanks fellas
I remember reading Mike Phillips article about working on Ceramiclear. He stated that one should use the least aggressive product possible. Obviously that wasn't the case here, but you got amazing results. Im a little confused now :(
Depends on the car. For neglected wheels that couldn't be cleaned properly while on the car this is a good option. If you are applying a coating to the wheels this is also a good option. Do you have experience jacking up cars? Do you know where the lift plates are located? Last thing you want to...
In one of your pictures...the one where the tire had been dried, I can see residue that wasn't cleaned off your tire from something (not sure what it is) but its in the same place as the Poorboys BNB
and Im certain thats why it came out splotchy. Ive used it before with great results. In fact...

I keep a bucket of ONR next to me and my grit guard pad washer. I have clean towels in the ONR and when its time to remove compound/polish, I wring the towel out so its not dripping wet (still nice and damp) and wipe the panel. Its a breeze. Then take a dry microfiber and buff clean. I love the...
Thats the exact patten it left! Thanks zach...I already polished it afterwards but I was looking forward to using them on clients vehicles. I will hold off on the medium grade until I find a technique that works better and doesn't leave "marring"
I haven't broken out the fine grade yet...hoping...
Black 2010 Ford Escape. Its my personal car and has been very well maintained. I was just doing some product testing. I applied very minimal pressure. The sponge picked up some stuff and I was excited about that.
