    Buying a new DA: MT300, Flex or Rupes for a hobbyist?

    I am in the same boat has you. Definitely love my flex 3401. Highly recommend getting the LC interchangeable plate system. Use the included 4" bp. Paired with 5" hybrid lake country pads it is about as good as it gets.

    M105 in rock chips

    Are you sure that is actually polish? Maybe the primer underneath is lighter?? Surprised that a heavy ipa used immediately after didn't take care of it. I have a black vehicle that has tiny chips that look similar but it is just the chip.... Use a clothes iron to create steam.

    It's good to see they are offering stuff for you detailers. But if you really wanna become an expert take a class or go to a local supplier. Jon don, interlink. But be careful. Some stuff is highly concentrated and is possible to take color out of carpet and upholstery. Fiber rinse is great...

    Removing Shoe Polish from Carpets?

    Not necessarily. I honestly don't know why you would use an acid 1st. This makes absolutely no sense. Maybe meguairs need to take an IICRC class on carpet and upholstery if they are truly recommending a fiber rinse prior to pretreatment for general soiling and stains. Most stains are on the...

    Removing Shoe Polish from Carpets?

    With the right products and education it is possible to remove. I'd say I have a 20-50% success rate. Many times using the wrong products will set stains.

    Removing Shoe Polish from Carpets?

    An alkaline doesn't neutralize an alkaline...(i highly doubt folex is alkaline) A solvent will dissolve shoe polish. Ideally you want to use one made for carpet and upholstery but goo gone or goof off will work okay. Just rinse like crazy with water. Matt Professional carpet cleaner

    Whats your go to Microfiber Detergent right now and why?

    I bet you don't even need an acid in the rinse cycle. Go test ph and I bet it's neutral. It uses a ton of water and agitation to easily rinse soap.

    If I claybar, do I need to use a cleaner wax/polish before wax?

    If the paint is in good shape go straight to collinite. If not cleaner wax will remove light oxidation from paint.
