That's right Al I forgot about that one. I've been meaning to get a gallon of it and some of their washes next order, you can't beat $30 for a gallon of quality liquid wax.
The vector has an 11 amp motor, compared to only 10 for the dewalt and makita. It is light and quieter than most other rotaries as well. It's definitely not a "cheapie."
Haha, not when starting out. The rotary is a heavy duty machine that I'd at least polish 20+ cars with a PC before purchasing. The PC will get out most swirls on a car, and if using for personal cars, it's both safer than a rotary as well as sufficient for the job. when you detail care for...
Yeah, I mean I'm not picking up a harbor freight one here, I would love a Hitachi, but I'm not even sure how I'll like a rotary after not having picked one up in 5+ yrs. If I love the Vector and it's working well for me, I might even spring for a Metabo soon. Can't have too many polishers. :)
Nice review on those items/processes. You, like many of us are seeing the rotary light haha. The PC is such a pain in the #%^ to get anything accomplished in less than 10 hours. I'm over it and going to buy a Vector/Chicago rotary....$65 bucks and I hear they perform well.
I have a sample of the regular opt car wash and I too like it. Works good for me. If you *really* want a good cleaning wash with amazing suds, try chemical guy's citrus wash n gloss. Off the charts lubricity and suds. Nothing touches this stuff. And at stronger concentrations, it's good for...
Right, because a car with a low cd, 280+ at the wheels, and less than 3000lbs is slow. ;)
I've driven/owned (dad and i):
Lotus Esprit TT V8
C5 Z06
BPU+ Supra TT
997 Carrera S
E36 M3
E46 M3
C55 AMG
E55 AMG
etc, etc
I'm kicking the PC to the curb and going rotary and ccs pads to keep heat down. These 4" edge pads are a godsend for defect removal via PC though, they really cut well.
Nice work on that MKV! I had a candy white 06 GTI last year, looked just like that. I'm out of the scene as I havent seen that dual center exhaust before, looks sweet.
