All my personal cars are junk. I have my gf's old 2004 GMC Canyon (yellow single cab), and my Dad's old, rusted 2006 Dodge Charger. I'm sentimental and perpetually broke, hate payments, and prefer to save, thus a nicer vehicle is a ways away. However, even with Cheri's Jeep Sahara 4×E she...

You and I both. I was surprised when Rupes used to say that too. Using pressure like that seems counterintuitive to me, even though many great detailers get excellent results with it. Many roads lead to Rome.

Yes, been so for a long time thanks to ONR. I do have a separate wheel bucket though.

I'm going to go regardless - if they post one, which I bet they will. As odd as it might sound, he's been a huge presence in my professional derailing life, and even before then. I actually miss the guy. It just wasn't the same for me, even with the mighty 3D. The idea of having him join Bob...

Duragloss 111.

I had an excellent experience last week with the Rupes Blue Wool pad. I had done some touch ups on a plastic portion of the front end of a Ford F150. I was able to remove the sanding marks from the metal parts of the bumper with relative ease using the Rupes Nano, LC 1" microfiber cutting pads...

Either will work great. I've been really liking the Rupes Wool pads and LC HDO CCS. My only concern with the HDO is that the really stiff grey interface foam has been breaking down quickly. I might give the SDO a shot and see what happens. I also like the Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber and...

I use a lot of Optimum Gloss Coat. I use it because it holds up well and is easy to use. It also looks great on the paint! But I've been really impressed with the Meguiar's Hybrid Paint Coating. Holds up great, easy to apply and remove, and in one ongoing test repels dirt better than Cquartz UK...

I agree. When I took the advanced Rupes sanding and polishing class they sanded the hood of a late 90's / early 2000's Poltiac Sunfire a bunch of times the day before. Todd (Helme) said is was fifteen times. During our class it was finally broken through. That's repeated 1500, followed by...

If I had the cash to purchase and keep it going, I'd do it!

I'm literally 4.6 miles away from Hi - Tech industries as I sit in front of my guitarists house(rehearsal day) in Redford, MI. I had no idea this place existed. I'd like to see what they're all about . I need to read more to find out what this means for 3D.

If this place goes belly up, maybe Bob can purchase the forum, and Mike can return? I'm guessing that Mike will create a new Fournier at Autoforge, which will probably replace AG in my life. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of us on a forum over there. Things haven't felt the same sine...

3D ONE is my go-to.

Way back in 2014 I had ordered some pads from DI and they contacted me because they hadn't shown up to my house yet! They told me they were sending then again and that if the others show up, to simply send them back with the included bad and label. I said no way, I'll just purchase the extra...

I like 101. If I don't need the correction potential of 3D Speed or 505, 101 is great, and it holds up longer than any cleaner wax I've used to date.

I just went a did a quick scan of some of my favorite brands, and the selections have shrunk. I can only assume they won't be restocked. I hate reading too far into things, but that can't be a good sign. I haven't felt good about this site since Bob sold it. Since Mike left it feels the...

Optimum Opti-Seal

The bassist from one of my bands bought a brand new BMW M3 last summer that the person who ordered it did end up buying. They told him that it was ceramic coated to the tune of $3,000.00. There was no ceramic coating applied. While it was in our parking lot a bird took a dump on it and...

I still use it as often as I can. I'll always love my pc!

I'd recommend the same tool I'd swap Speed for 3D One, that way you can choose your protection of choice. I've been using the Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber for cutting, but they can finish nice on some paints too. Lake Country HDO CCS Orange or Buff and Shine Uro-Tec Yellow would round out my...
