No way! Rotaries are still superior for: 1) Polishing mirrors, headlights, and narrow pillars. 2) Grunt work on nasty or large vehicles like boats, trailers, planes, ect. 3) Jeweling

I gave away my 9227, got the 849x from Mike Phillip's Bumble Bee comparison above. I do all my grunt work with the Dewalt and use the Flex PE-14 for tight area. For boat work, the 849x can spin a 8-10" wool pad all day

Looks good! Much better equipped to go toe-to-toe with the Dewalt 849x. I miss my 9227, that thing was indestructible.

Any "finishing" pad with no cut will do.

If you have faith or believe in Optimum and the product, then continue using it. If you sense shenanigan, then move on another product. There are plenty of choices.:xyxthumbs:

That is not the case. Coating, sealants, waxes will not be discernible. The prep work is the key. Before someone jumps in and says otherwise, just think if 3 sections (Coating, sealant, waxes), who would be able to tell them apart without smelling or touching them? One section may look more...

All film will yellow. Some in 3 years, some in 5 years. Nothing you can do about it. Replace when needed. Same your money and stop trying to protect the film designed to protect the paint.

I agree the Griots is better with a deafening loud motor and jackhammer-like vibration. :xyxthumbs:

All Microfiber Madness towels are amazing. The Mothers towel is nothing to write home about.

I never found M105 it to be a great product. IMO, FG400 is more versatile, I would use FG400, Scholl S0, M100, or M101 over m105 anyday.

Vibration. There are sensors attached to the metal racks

They changed a while back. I too have the #$@*&% smelling old formula. One of the few disappointments from DP.

:iagree: Fix it, drive into the closest California CHP/PD, pay $10-$15 and get it signed off. You don't need to drive 7 hours back.

Correct. I use a garden sprayer to pre-soak the car. Takes minutes. Then do a regular ONR wash for the entire car. Then dry the entire car. In the garage you will not need to do a panel at a time. No. I'm still using a bucket and doing a regular ONR wash after presoaking the car first...

Agreed. In the garage. 1) Spray entire car with ONR. 1 gallon is sprayed and only 1/2 gallon drips to the floor. 2) Wash entire car 3) Dry entire car. Takes 28 minutes including wheels and quick interior wipe down. Even with ONR, the city code enforcement tried asked me not to wash my car...

Hybrid here too. Since you're in Germany look into the 3m backing plate # 09628. Match made in heaven with the PE-14.

I had a tiny sample bottle. It didn't knock my socks off so I threw it away.

Use the "search" button, almost everything on AG has been beaten to death. In the dying process, many informative discussion have been posted. If you want to learn; then use the wealth of knowledge posted here throughout the years.

What a great review! It is a fantastic product, but anyone using a APC type cleaner on those textured dash and door pieces need to wipe it down with some water to help neutralize and remove APC residual. I'm had instances where APC residual causes a weird sheen. Definitely use gloves to...

Carfax is utterly useless. There's millions of ways to avoid having it show on the Carfax. I'm surprise folks are still drinking the Carfax KoolAide.
