    When do you put down the polisher and pick up the sander?

    I rarely use extremely aggressive pads or polishes. 3M Trizact 1500-5000 has pretty much made severe defect removal quick, easy, and safe. Harsh pads and polishes will heat up the surface no matter what polisher you are using, and clearcoats do not like heat. Also, correcting the paint should...

    Do I need a hot water extractor?

    I bought a Mytee this year for the house and to do cars. Truly an amazing machine!

    Which do you think would be the better topper?

    :iagree: Souveran is a ***superb*** show-car wax on darker shades, but durability is about 9 rain drops.

    Thinking of Jeweling my Car

    True "jeweling" is done with a rotary. (Mike Phillips has one of the best posts/videos I've ever seen on this. PM him for location I've lost it.) Do not attempt this unless you really know what you're doing. If you are using a GG or similar polisher you can get 80%+ of the same result and...

    One step polish

    Are you looking to truly fix it or make it look great until Spring time until you can do it right? If the latter you can't beat Auto Finesse Tripple.

    What is AVerage Life of Force Rotation DA Polishers

    Not a bad question. I don't have a concrete answer, but I can tell you my Rupes 21 was one of the first available, and it has literally hundreds of polishing hours on it. Rupes 15 is not nearly as tough in my experience. Mine has been rewired at the plug twice. Rupes Mini has stood up to...

    Has Modern Compounds and Finishing Polishes Made Medium Cut Polishes Obsolet?

    It is rare to have to wet sand an entire vehicle. If you have never wet sanded I suggest reading Mike's outstanding post. (PM Mike and ask where it is I have lost it.) Start with a Griot's Garage 3" polisher, Trizact 5000 paper, and a foam interface pad. After you get the hang of that I'll...

    Has Modern Compounds and Finishing Polishes Made Medium Cut Polishes Obsolet?

    Quite the opposite, I think the days of heavier compounds and pads are about over. I rarely use them. I use the 3M Trizact system to remove heavier defects. Once and done, then you have all the time in the world to spend on polishing.

    Porsche Carrera Paint Polishing and Correction

    Very kind and flattering words from you all. Deeply appreciated. I did my best in the time in I had to work with it, only three days, including wheels in and out, paint decontamination, correction, polishing, glass, headlamps, and time for multiple coats of wax to cure.

    The Most Expensive Wax You Have Bought?

    I disagree, wealthy people know that generosity is a magnet for more money, more personal power, and more influence. Maybe it depends on where you live and demographics. My customers are more than willing to pay for serious results. Having said that, you'd better !@#$% well produce serious...

    Certainly not perfect by any means, but a lot better than it was!

    The Most Expensive Wax You Have Bought?

    Actually the highest priced wax I own is $3500, Swissvax Divine, nothing in the $5000 range.

    The Most Expensive Wax You Have Bought?

    I'll have to side with you here, although I think "hoodwinked snobbery" is a little harsh. LOLOLOLOL. Applying wax with your bare hands is okay if you have really soft skin. LOLOLOL.

    The Most Expensive Wax You Have Bought?

    What were you expecting? Crap? Zymol Concours, very similar to Swissvax Concorso, is a fabulous wax, with much better than average durability. If you use automatic car washes, "the tunnel of death", you get what you deserve!
