I really like the black force finishing pads. The orange is a bit too firm for me. I probably wouldn't get the force pads unless you're using a forced rotation polisher

How do you like the Pinnacle Crystal Clear glass cleaner? I thought it was pretty exceptional when I tried it. Since I ran out of pinnacle I've been using wolfgang Uber diluted @ (3oz per gallon) Also, those cobra glass towels are REALLY nice, especially when you need to cut through lots of...

not a fan of the Megs #7 method but lots of guys swear by it. I prefer to start out using a standard 8mm polisher like the pc7424xp or the GG6 and a fine finishing polish like HD Polish+ or a cleaner wax like HD Speed or Blackfire one step and a white polishing pad. If the paint is really soft...

No, Super Degreaser isn't a very good tire cleaner IME. Especially if you're trying to remove previously applied tire dressings. You should stick with D143 for tires. If you want a better tire cleaner Optimum Power Clean 3:1 is the best I've found by a long shot. 3D orange degreaser 4:1 is...

I like D155 Last Touch it's a great product. But I'll likely never purchase it again. Wolfgang Uber (3oz per gallon) is better in every way. It provides as much gloss as any quick detailer, is slicker than any qd, less streaky, is far more economical than any dedicated qd, and is the best...

Those are great questions! Hopefully I can give you some adequate answers. Having both Mckee's 37 APC+ and OPC is probably overkill, and if I wasn't detailing for a living I probably would only have OPC. But yes, I consider M37 APC+ (10:1) my dedicated interior cleaner. It sits right in...

Power Clean at 3:1 is better at degreasing, removing nasty tire dressing and tire browning, deep cleaning trim, degreasing engine bays etc than Super Degreaser 4:1. I honestly didn't think the initial higher cost would be worth it until I actually used it and realized all the time OPC saved me...

I admit that I'm naive to using a pad washer to clean pads in between polishing sets. With foam pads I have always had the most consistent results when using a clean dry lightly primed/unprimed pad on a dual action polisher. I use compressed air to blow out as much residue and spent product in...

I use both on a daily basis. While I love Mirka Abralon pads and buy the 1000 and 2000 abralon discs in 3" and 6" sizes. The Trizact 3000 and 5000 discs are completely worth the money IMO. I can do with one Trizact 3000 disc what would require 5 mirka abralon 3000 discs to achieve. On the plus...

completely agree^ I was shocked when I heard that people were using these pads on a 21mm throw polisher.

I'm a big fan of products like HD Polish+, Scholl Concepts S20 Black, Jescar Correcting Compound, The Last Cut Compounding Glaze, & even the Boss Creams because they are heavily lubricated and work best on a completely dry pad in my experience. Oh man, You should hear the vulgarities that come...

I can't believe I waited so long to buy this. Once I did buy it, I hardly used it because I thought it was basically "just an APC" boy was I wrong OPC cleans better than any APC, degreases better than the harshest degreasers, and is the least irritating for the ol' lungs. I was shocked...

lol, I'm not trying to get your hopes up but I honestly think you'll find BF 1-step even easier. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts:dblthumb2:

I always thought the pad washer would be a good investment but I assumed most people were using the pad washer to clean their pads then putting it on a rack to dry and switching to a clean dry pad. I know I've heard of some guys using wet/damp pads but for the most part I thought guys were just...

I've always been able to get at least a month with HD Speed, even on glass. Maybe they updated the formulation at some point or possibly our application process is different.

BF one step on a microfiber cutting pad will finish better than D166 on a soft foam polishing pad I use D166/microfiber when I'm only getting paid for a 1-step on a light color vehicle. Because it's non-diminishing I can work larger areas and D166 removes 70-75% of scratches and marring pretty...

Completely agree

Thanks for the great review Guz! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts after trying it on black paint or softer paint. I find myself reaching for it first when doing a 1-step on light color paints. I only use it with MF cutting pad anymore. It cuts pretty darn well with microfiber. Despite the...

I was also hoping they would come out with a uro-fiber cutting pa but since the uro-fiber cuts pretty well I guess they are just going to add a finishing microfiber. IMO it's kind of redundant to release another finishing microfiber pad if they aren't planning on increasing the cut of the...

uro-tec 6" yellow and maroon. (very similar to rupes yellow and green with better durability at a lower price point) Best MF cutting pad IMO is the LC HDO Microfiber Cutting pad. The uro-fiber 5" pads are great too if you're a fan of exact fit pads. Meguiar's MF is great but poor durability...
