Thanks...maybe I will go that route then. What pads are recommended most? What size backing plate and pads?

Yea the more I've read about the Rupes the more I think I'd rather go with a Flex 3401 or go back to Griots. Can the Flex 3401 be used effectively as a "one stop shop"? Meaning can it be used for finishing (just correcting minor defects)? Or is it really just used for heavy defects? I'm...

Thanks for the feedback. My vehicles are pretty well taken care of. That said, the Flex would be nice. I'd actually consider the Rupes 15 as well. I guess I'll have to do some more research and go from there.

Well...maybe it is. I'm a hobbyist and thought maybe the Flex is just too much polisher. That said I'm certainly not new to polishing so it might be good next polisher. Only problem is...am I going to have to go with all new pads with the Flex? Also for the price of the Flex I could get both a...

Hey guys, I had a Griots GG6 with 5" backing plate that I got a ton of use out of over the years (just as a hobbyist). I ended up selling it about 2 years ago, but luckily I kept all my Griots Boss 5.5" pads (mostly orange pads and a handful of white pads). I'm in the market to buy another...

Yea this looks like a good option I might try it.

I totally get it…problem is I’d be using this mostly for my V tail Bonanza (airplane). I basically don’t wash it and keep it maintained with more of waterless wash method or just maintaining it with detail sprays. It’s not practical for me to do a full wash so that’s why I was asking about...

I had a NanoSkin Clay mitt which was great, but after years of sitting in a hot garage it was in rough shape. I’d like to get something I can use with a quick detailer instead of a mitt that requires a full wash. Is traditional clay bar still the way to go? It would be nice to have something...

I think I might try the new Griots Cermaic AIO and the Griots Ceramic Spray. Seems to have very good feedback and something that lasts longer would be a huge plus.

Hey guys, It's been years since I've paid much attention to what is going on in the detailing world in terms of products. I'm a big fan of HD Speed and have used it as my AIO for quite some time, but I'm sure there is something better out by now (maybe not?). I've got a lot of old products...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some recommendations on a good sealant. It's been years since I've done much research on what's out there now a days. I've been using HD Poxy, but I'm sure there are much better products out there at this point. I will primarily be using this on my airplane, which is...

I know HD Speed is an AIO, but can you apply 303 Graphene over HD Speed? Thanks.

Thanks. LOL. That simplifies my life. I'm gonna order some more orange pads and call it a day. Already got a new bottle of Speed.

I just stated that I could do Megs M205 and top it off with the spray you recommended. I have Menzerna 3500 as well, although that may or may not be aggressive enough

It will be hangared and all the work will be done in a hangar. Heck if I can do 3D Speed and top with that Graphene spray that sounds like a good way to go. Or any spray sealant for that matter that will work with Speed. Especially since I already purchased some 3D Speed!

Absolutely hangared!

Could I polish with something like Megs M205 and then top it off with that spray sealant?

I'm not opposed to some sort of ceramic coating. I've been out of the detail scene for years, but I remember they used to be a real pain to apply. I know the newer stuff is a lot easier, I guess I am just a little overwhelmed by it all. Everyone has their own opinion. CarPro Essence isn't really...

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. I think I’ll stick to that plan

I’m certainly open to other products than an AIO like 3D Speed. I was planning to use Speed and follow up with some Collinite 845. That said, I’m not sure I want to do more than a two step process here as it would be extremely time consuming. Polishing the underside of the wings and belly of an...
