    Exploding Pad

    What size backing plate were you using? If it's too small, it will cause stress on the pad from being jerked back and forth leading to premature failure.

    What to use to correct dark blue honda paint???

    Hondas usually have quite soft paint. I would start with a polishing pad and light/medium polish and work up from there.

    Griots, Flex, Rupes DA clone

    There are posts with foam inside the gear housing, clumped grease, people breaking the machine modding it, spindles failing inside a year, and some just.. not turning on out of the box. If you're doing this professionally, no I do not understand cheaping out the tool that will bring your...

    Griots, Flex, Rupes DA clone

    You cannot cheap out tools. The motor, materials, and steel especially are probably sub par. Just stay with the real deal. The Rupes guys are great people and have put a lot of effort into their system and really support Autogeek customers. Go for the real deal. I feel like ever since the...

    Preferred way to use Aqua Wax?

    I've always used it while drying. Spray while wet, wipe off!

    Meguiars MT300 Impressions @ Detail Fest

    The flex has almost done too good of a job in that it will just rotate through anything and IMO has caused unfair judgments versus plain DA machines. I'd say the machine overall is a step up in ergonomics and machine operation of any machine not named flex or rupes.

    Meguiars MT300 Impressions @ Detail Fest

    I think that's a big part of the machine. The ergonomics are great. If you already have a DA that is the real benefit that for the money, it's very smooth. You can of course use other products with the megs pads.

    Meguiars MT300 Impressions @ Detail Fest

    Hello all, I wanted to give my impressions of the new Meguiar's MT300 DA polisher here at Detail Fest 2015. I am in the market for another buffing system. I still have my venerable 7336 PC and FLEX VVB rotary polishers. (I know..) How it feels: I think this is very important for any tool in...

    Meguiars MT300 or Flex 3401

    I thought that I would give you an answer on this after thoroughly testing all of the above today at detail fest and after some prolonged conversations with the reps. RUPES (thought Id give input on this): I want to like this SYSTEM. The machines are designed to use their backing plates, pads...

    Clay marring paint but client on wants AIO

    This is a situation you will consistently run into in the detailing business. Person with soft paint comes in and it is just loaded with all sorts of goodies.. It needs claying obviously but its to the point where marring will occur as it's so bad? Well for it to be perfect, the paint will...

    Paint Decontamination

    In that they are all formulated to skin the cat in the same way, I'd look at price per application and go from there. I'd also like to add that the biggest problem I have with these products is that to spray a whole car down really uses the product. Seems expensive per use and I would only go...

    discount tire crossed threaded a lug nut errghh

    I was going to comment but they beat me to it. Discount Tire is usually the height of customer service in their industry. I had something similar happen and they footed the entire bill 100%.

    Rbl da?

    Yeah they sell rebranded versions of my favorite pump-foam sprayers. I have a hard time believing this.. If they were the first to make a good product like that then their name would've been in more places.
