    BOSS 21 or Rupes 21 MkII

    No Sir, my female Akita, almost nine yrs. old now, called Milky. It is kinda rare, since she's all white. I'm a big fan of Akitas, silent, loyal, trusty dogs, and good with kids.

    BOSS 21 or Rupes 21 MkII

    I had problems with BS cutting and finishing MF pads, and velcro issues, wearing out a lot faster. Indeed, it cuts a lot more. But when I need more cut than 21mm on 7in pads, I grab a rotary, it is just my style. It is very common the chinese 21mm knock offs coming with 5in BP. But, imho, I...

    BOSS 21 or Rupes 21 MkII

    Agreed. 21mm with 5in BP becomes a pad eater, lot of heat build up. I used to do that for a while, never went back. I'm thinking about buying a 15mm for using 6in pads.

    Hologram HELL!!!

    Nice work, Aaryn! I've been getting a lot of work like this lately, people only bring their cars to detail when they can't stand looking at it, and usually black cars. Probably due to the economical crisis, they look for the cheapest, get the worst, and then try to fix it when the deal is done...

    My Recent International Order Experience, read this BEFORE YOU ORDER

    I don't know, man, but I've been buying from AG for years, and never had a problem that wasn't solved. International shipping as well. It takes one or two days for them to figure out shipping charges, but package sizes and merchandise weight varies, it has to be done manually. Imho, you are not...

    Collinite 915 oily holograms after wipe off

    I found out that it leaves oily residue when ambient temperature is over 30C. At least in my personal experience, I avoid using in hot environment. Also, black cars show it more. With the 476S, I had a slightly better result leaving it in the fridge for one hour before using it. I have the same...

    SCANGRIP Sunmatch Swirl Finder Light - Product Review by Mike Phillips

    I've been using it for couple months, amazing light. CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 95, it can remain on for a long time, and when fully charged it'll take hours before recharging. I use it for polishing as well. Pleasant yellowish tone, I believe its 4300K, it seems to show more swirls than...

    your "go to compound"?

    We're close, Menzerna SHC300, FG400, Meguiars M100 and M101, Scholl Concepts S3 Gold XXL, Sonax CutMax, Koch Chemie H8, Norton XtraCut and Lincoln's HiCut+ (Brazilian brand). But the go to would be FG400, Koch Chemie H8 and Lincoln HiCut+. Sonax Cutmax I'm increasingly liking it, it cuts a lot...

    HD Speed - wrong pad choice or bad technique?

    There you go, I think it sums up.

    rupes 21 destroyed some good quality pads

    The 21mm throw is hard on pads, even if you use the Chinese Rupes knock offs it will wear out pads fast. With the 21mm throw, you have to use Rupes pads or pads designed for it, like LC HD line or B&F Urotecs. The 15mm orbit is less forgiving, in case you want to play around with different pads.

    Water Spot Issues after Coatings are applied and how Paint reacts to hot and cold temperatures

    To Velocitybts This thread is really interesting, learned a lot here. All the info you presented was informative, rich in details, and your concern about coating issues after application is extremely valid. I never thought about reocurring water spots behind the coating, but I had one case and...
