So - today I got the package Nick was kind enough to send. At the risk of setting unreasonable expectations for others who deal with Nick and McKee's, let's say I was willing to pay to replace something worth a couple bucks. Nick not only offered to send it to me for free (and pay the shipping)...

Investigation complete. Thanks.

Mike, What's the Comet for?

I shot McKee's 37's customer service folks an e-mail concerning a problem that I caused while using one of their products. The problem was completely my issue, and I was only looking for a solution I could implement. Nick responded early this morning saying he would take care of the problem. He...

If I understand the question, I think the answer is zero. I don't believe the throw is different from one size backing plate to another. In this case, it will still be 21mm. The distance the pad would travel, I think would be larger by 1/2", or @ 12mm. I get that by taking the difference in...

Mine should NOT be the final word on the topic, but (as someone who is just now transitioning from a hobbyist just doing two vehicles to someone who wants to make money polishing cars), if I were remaining a hobbyist, I would stay with whatever you have. I started with an off-brand 6" DA, and it...

I refuse to talk politics, so I'll refrain from that. But my hope was that by now hydrogen technology would be at least as prevalent as all-electric. That's the direction I wanted to go. In fact, I bought a 2003 vehicle with the plan that it would be my last internal combustion car. Boy was I...

Pickles, it wasn't dust. See my note above.

LSN, The glass isn't tinted, so no issue there. But I do know a panel pry tool with a very thin cleaning cloth (for cleaning eyeglasses) was too thick to wedge in there without fear of leaving the cloth in between the glass and the light. Also, it wasn't dust. It was streaky, oily smooj...

Hmmmm... If that scrubbing pad is well attached, I can see that working. I might have to give that a try! Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. I'm not so sure I sold myself short as much as I think I am lacking knowledge on the topic. It surprises me that there is an area on a car that cannot be cleaned, but is so visible. I figured I just don't know enough. After all, to steal one of my father's lines - I...

Being new to detailing for profit, I guess it shouldn't surprise me to come across something I've never seen before, but here's one I had no clue how to handle. Did an '07 Nissan Altima this weekend. it was pretty trashed in the interior. The glass, particularly, was really bad. Turned out very...

Rsurfer, Excellent point, but one then has to ask why such an imbalance? I presume a lot has to do with how long each has been available. Any other reason to support such a large percentage of Flex owners? And you're now the second person to suggest perhaps a long throw machine might be a good...

B5visser, That does help, thanks! Just from pictures alone, I would have guessed the Mille to be more friendly to hold and use. Thanks for giving me your opinion.

Well, without any more input, seems like the consensus is the forced rotation category. At the risk of hijacking my own thread, now I'd like to know why the Flex is recommended so much more highly than the Mille. Here's my comparison: Price - Roughly the same, although the Rupes will incur...

Thanks guys. I was leaning forced rotation as well, although by a narrow margin, I'm leaning toward the Mille. I think the learning curve will be shorter with the rotation working in the same direction as I am used to. Minds not made up, but right now, it's the way I am thinking. Seems like at...

OK, so this is my first new post since joining. I've generally been able to find answers to my questions by doing searches. But this one seems to be one for which there is a gap in the information. When I started out, I bought an off brand 6" DA. It worked fine, but I quickly realized it could...

" Yes... there are products on the market that DON'T use great abrasive technology and while they may remove defects they will leave their own defects behind. Each time you go to remove defects you remove a little paint and the picture above of my fingers holding a post-it note teaches you that...

"Even quit golf"? Now that's blasphemous! I would like to reduce the number of balls I lose. But hitting those bowling balls with a golf club hurts!

I'm a real believer in "to each his own", and would never criticize anyone for a lack of love for the outdoors. Even my fondness only goes so far - I have been very active with the Boy Scouts for many years, but only go on a couple campouts per year, and that is because I can't stand sleeping on...
