CTS-V WAGON Go to the dragstrip then home depot then pickup the kids.

Awesome job! Is that midnight blue? I see a little speckle in there which you were able to bring out.

I have both in all three colors. Hybrid definitely if you own the flex.

If you have the 3401 then hybrid If you have a PC then hydro

Go with a 15+mini as both are somewhat redundant in their throw and cutting ability. I've got both but ended up purchasing a FLEX for heavier correction. I use the FLEX to compound, Duetto to polish/finish, and Mini for tighter areas. Also have a PC from ages ago to do beater work.

I've had some left-over adhesive from taping etc. and used TAR-X. It says it's a tar/adhesive remover. Sprayed on and let it soak, then agitated with MF sponge, and rinsed with water. Worked like a charm. Whether or not a detail spray, bug cleaner, bug sponge would work equally as well I don't...

FG400 finishes pretty nice. I do get some dusting but nothing compared to PG1000. Paired with a Rupes MF pad or blue coarse pad it'll finish pretty close to LSP ready. I do this as a hobby so I always finish with SF4500 or Rupes Diamond to get that extra pop. The Rupes Zephir and Quarz are...

LC has always been at the forefront of pad tech and quality, with that being said the REAL question is... How do these perform next to the RUPES foam pads? Is the dual density material cost savings (less foam material) or will it perform/outperform the RUPES pads? If they can perform on par...

Recently coated my daily driver (silver) with CQUK and the other (black) with PBL Coating. Both are TOP NOTCH and give you that glassy/mirror shine. CQUK recommends using ERASER before coating and PBL recommends PBL Surface Cleansing Polish. Do your research on coatings and watch videos of the...

Helluva kit

Even PG1000 with the duetto/mf pad wouldn't get rid of the swirls/scratches in my brand new Prius. Had to bust out FG400 to get the job done. As people have said always do a test spot with the least aggressive combo. Start with SF4000 and go from there.

Figure out your budget. If it's correction power you want then 3401/21ES. If you want a good all around performer on a budget then GG/7424XP...or upgrade to a Duetto which has the same compact body of the GG/7424XP but smoother operation. Or a 3401/or21es/or15es & mini combo would get you into...

Nanoskin medium will get the job done on bad contamination. If it's in decent condition then the fine is plenty.

Pre-soak to get the heavy soils loose. If you're using a HE washer the Wolfgang's stuff is pretty darn good. I've only used Pinnacle and Wolfgang but the towels came out much better with the Wolfgang.

At $5.83 per rag that's very expensive for a "wheel detailing & dirty work" towel. That's in the 500+ gsm waterless wash/extra plush/zero edge territory. Best bet is to email AG and ask for the specs on the towel but if I had to make a guess it's a 75/25 made in China. Personally I would...

Keep me posted on the FLEX. Might just need to get one for heavier corrections. The Rupes is a super smooth polisher...just need to figure it out.

Used the 7424 to clay the car. Plan on applying the wax/sealant with it or terry cloth buff. Just might need to step up to the forced rotation of the 3401 to get the results I want. Need to do the washer mod on the duetto to see if that'll help but I only worked on the hood which was fairly...

Hello fellow geekers I need your help and expertise. Just got back into the detailing hobby after a long hiatus and upgraded from a 7424 to a Rupes Duetto. Car is a new 2014 Prius in classic metallic silver. Pulled out the LED lighting and saw swirls on the hood. Clayed the car with nanoskin...

Awesome work! How many hours spent?
