I see your points and agree with all of them especially my receiving a medal of valor. LOL I can give it to my wife she is still shaking from the thought of my having no experience and taking the Flex to a new black Porsche. I didn't want to infer that all reviews be done by seasoned pros...

That sounds good except that often is the case when reviews are born out of a forum member winning a free giveaway as was the case with me and the fk218 sealant that I reviewed. And as you know son I have very little experience. Seeing as we are talking about product reviews and testing and...

Re: 4 part prosses still has swirls? Hey Dana, In this situation would you have gone to an orange pad after the yellow instead of the gray pad?. This is a great example of (as you always said) how important it is to do an IPA after each stage of polishing.

I wonder, does Richie use the KBM method of paint correction or was this a stunning example of old school detailling. I would love to know the details in the detailling if you know what I mean. This car looks great, now. I just can't understand how a person would let such an expensive car...

Re: 4 part prosses still has swirls? Just a guess but could it be that going from a yellow pad down to a gray pad was to much of a jump I had great results using wtsr with an orange pad followed by wfg with a white pad followed by menz85rd and a blue pad..It seemed that you went with a very...

Thanks for the quick reply Emile. BTW how are you enjoying your new Flex3401? look at me I am hijacking my own thread LOL Do you use the Edge 4" pads with your Flex on the small panels or do you just go back to your PC for those areas?

:iagree: Polishing I have found to be a lot like magic. In that the magic lies not within the magicians wand but within the hands of the magician performing the trick. With proper preparation and attention to detail you will be just fine. True the Flex will get the job done quicker but...

What would be the consequences of applying my second coat of WDGPS3.0 in direct sunlight? The temperature is in the mid 50's and the surface temperature of the vehicle is not hot to the touch. Would the consequences associated with a direct sunlight application be a factor of the sunlight...

I don't think that you will have any problems at all. I had a similar situation on a smaller scale. I accidentally left wdgps un-buffed on half of the right rear 1/4 panel of my car. It remained on the panel for two days while the car was in the garage. The wdgps buffed right off with no...

I think that is a great idea. Especially for those of us who only have one or two cars in the family. I think that I will try that out when I decide to move up to a rotary LOL

Thanks for the kind words buddy And"may the shine be with you" my brother

NUBIE TAKES 1ST PLACE!!! Way to go Tad and all of the other winners.:dblthumb2::xyxthumbs::props:

Assuming that the paint on the car is not thinned out already I can't imagine how polishing the car with the proper tools and technique would cause there to be a failure in the paint. Unless that is you would intend to polish the car 8 or 9 times as opposed to just doing it once correctly. I...

I think it best to correct the imperfections in the paint (swirls,scratches etc) before applying an LSP. It would definitely be more economical to polish out the scratches or swirls IMO as opposed to trying to fill them in with 8 or 9 coats of wax. It has been said that it is 90% technique...

I went into a local auto body shop and explained that the dealership scratched my car and sent it to their body shop to repaint the panel. I asked if they could take a reading on my paint thickness and they were more than happy to check the paint thickness on the repainted panel as well as the...

If you really want to add some punch to the appearance of your ride after the application of the wtsr and the wfg try the menz 85rd with a blue lc pad before you apply your lsp. I didn't think that my Porsche could look any better after applying the wfg but the menz 85rd brought it to a ne...

That is right, Lou thanks for reminding me and thanks for sharing this useful information about the wax thickness test:dblthumb2:

I have recently seen, posted on another forum, a lab test that was performed to determine the benefits in layering waxes. Basically the test showed that applying a third coat of wax actually diminished the thickness of your previous coats of wax. In other words applying a third coat of wax...

Wow I love your viperrrrrr. You are doing a show car job :dblthumb2:. What products are you using for the jeweling?
