    I bit the bullet.. I just bought a G21

    Nice to see a very unbiased review. I ended up picking up the mkii just based on when we tested the mkii at the Socal roadshow. I was just too impressed with the smoothness and ergonomics. But I still want to pick up a g15.

    Mystery Box is BACK and BETTER Than Ever! (Now with 3 Boxes!)

    I'm trying my hardest to resist. I recently picked up a mark ii with various Rupes and lake country pads. I want to either pick up a mini or duetto, but mystery boxes are just so much fun.

    Flex or Rupes?

    I've worked with both and currently owner of a Rupes markii. The reason I went with the Rupes is because it's far smoother and easier on the hands. With the Flex, I found myself constantly fighting with it due to its forced rotation. After a couple of hours, it left me a bit beat.

    Rupes 15 with non-rupes pads

    I'm have the mkii 21 and while I have been using the Rupes pads, I also use the lake country thinpro pads, hydro tech pads, and microfiber pads. I absolutely love the thinpro pads. I've been wanting to try the meguiars thin pads as well. Been sing good reviews in those as well.

    Brand new car - Bumpers don't match - ?

    I don't have that problem with my current Wrx, but mine is also an 03. However, my current Toyota and past toyotas always had a different shade compared to the rest of the car. Toyota always explained it as something along the lines that because it was different materials (plastic vs aluminium)...

    Nanoskin Autoscrub question

    It's happened to me quite a few times. Ever use claybar that turn instantly brown after claying an area? That's all the contaminants it's captured. I don't believe the nanoskin captures contaminants like a claybar would. That's perhaps a very neglected vehicle you're working with.

    I bit the bullet.. I just bought a G21

    I don't feel like it's much of a drawback not having the hole. Just takes a couple of extra seconds to center the pads. As far as the microfiber pads go, I really only use them for compounding spots with tough rids. If I was compounding an entire car, I really do feel it would be overkill and it...

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Been using the UHS system for some time already. I actually tested it out first on an old pc7424. With the markii it's even better. You're gonna enjoy it. Easy to use and very long work cycle plus no dusting.

    I bit the bullet.. I just bought a G21

    I picked up the Rupes just because I like the latest new tech, lol. Still plan to pick up the boss. With that being said as far as pads go, the boss pads do look promising plus it's part of the system. In a huge fan of the Rupes system. Very efficient. As far as other pads go, I love how...

    Advice on Upgrading Polisher??

    I recently upgraded to the mark ii 21 and absolutely love it. I use both rotary and finished off with a pc7424. I can't say anything about the boss because I haven't tried it, however I'm considering purchasing a g15 to compare and it never hurts to have extra on hand. As far pads go, I use the...

    Opinions On Chemical Guys?

    Like many others I started off using many chemical guys products. One if the first was jetseal. I was curious about it since they said it was jet grade sealant. At first I was impressed. I worked close to their uncle wood location. I picked more products. But then I started to get more into...

    Meguiars last touch feedback?

    I primarily use last touch as a qd and te remove light dusting in between washes. Couldn't be happier with it. Although as previously mentioned, the smell was a little off putting at first but now I enjoy it.

    Headlight Restoration-new UV sealant idea

    Flashing period is dependent on environment. Temperatures and humidity can change that. For the most port it can be anywhere from 2-10 minutes. I'm in California so when it's warmer it's usually a bit faster
