M100 has become one of my favorites replacing M105 on my shelf. If more cut is needed I drag out the M101 and a mf pad.

Once you experience the 21 mm stroke you will find that not to be true IMO. Also with the buzzy Griots my hands were wasted at the end of a long day. My Rupes is silky smooth.

The 5th works best for me. The Knoxville get together is the 12-13.

Thanks Chris. Good reason to use a Optimum polish before OC 2.0 .

Basically Dr.G claims if only Optimum products are used , no wipe down is required. As for the OP's question of coating failure , after a deep cleaning it can be seen if it is a failure or not. I can only speak from my own experience but have not had any failures due to wiping off after only...

Posted 14 November 2013 - 09:20 AM Time to update and clarify this post. With Opti-coat pro, it now comes with a dedicatd primer polish, and all that should be done is to remove the polish residue and apply, or ONR wash if you wish. When using the primer polish an IPA wipedown is actually...

I have Iron-X but have never tried Iron-X soap. Iron-x will not harm the coating but I have found the Opt PC to do the trick for me.I use a trigger sprayer on the Power Clean at 4:1.

On the Optimum forum they discuss the polishing process before coating and claim that no IPA wipe down is needed when using only their products. A new Primer is offered for the OCP now.On my Optimum coatings both OC 2.0 and Pro , I have used Eraser with no customer complaints. On cars sitting...

Went out on the 12th and stayed till the 18th arriving home last night. The auction just keeps getting bigger and better. About 1,400 cars and a couple of days worth of automobilia auctions to start out with. It's a car guys dream to walk around and see so many various types of automobiles...

:buffing: Have a date set yet ?? :buffing:

Welcome from Indy's west-side. Off of Rockville and Raceway Rd.

Great choice on machines. It will only get better. :)

:iagree:Technique is Very important. There is a short learning curve for the long stroke. Placing a lot of downward pressure is a hard habit to break.

^^^ agreed and they are a LOT more durable.

Funny seeing a cord dragged around a panel at a detailing school. :)

Will be flying out Sunday the 12 th and staying at the Embassy Suites Phoenix - Scottsdale 4415 E. Paradise Village Pkwy South, Phoenix, Arizona, 85032, till the 18 th. Will try that place out Flash. Also looking for other good steak or Italian restaurants that aren't too fancy or chain deals...

Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip, hmmmm... Are old hoosiers allowed ?

If everyone spent as much time perfecting their technique as trying to decide which da ( or rotary ) is best we would all be as good as Mike Phillips , Todd Helme or Paul Dalton. I'm willing to bet most pro's could do a blind test with any of todays machines and you couldn't tell which one was...

You can dress up small amounts of cc failure but it's only temporary at best. Time for a repaint.

Sounds like a loud thrashing machine. I'll pass.
