If someone will bring their car over if be happy to try.

Here is my two cents worth. Your list may be long on specialty tools (I.e., things like the interior brush, metro vac)and short on cleaners, paint correction stuff, sealers/waxes. In all honesty, you might be better off focusing on a porter cable package that includes some of the paint related...

Thanks Wors I will still pull them out when nasty like those were. But for the life of me, why haven't I tried spraying them with an APC first(duh). I was thinking about spot cleaning them in the car with an APC when they just need touch up. That's why I like this forum, something that...

Learned something in this thread! I'm a creature of habit and always pull them out of the vehicle, spray them off with a hose, then use dawn and the tire brush. It works fine, but I always let them dry before putting them back in my vehicles. I can't believe I never thought of spraying them...

Have had them in my last 4 vehicles, will never be without them as long as I can afford them.

To qualify what I'm saying, I've never worked on trim that gray. However, I was amazed using an APC with a scrub brush when I washed, then an APC with a microfiber, before sealing with UTTG(Ultima). Going on 4 months, still beads water and looks like new.

So I was planning to vacuum, and do a quick detail on the interior of my garage queen(below). It also doubles as a hunting truck, dog kennel, etc so it's not always perfect and gets used, but I spend a considerable amount of time taking care of it, inside and out. I vacuumed the dog hair...

Collinite 845 on flagstone patio! Not really, but the sealer worked!

Thanks for the feedback guys! Anyone else have opinions?

Will probably do most correction and polishing with the rotary. Using the flex with my existing 5.5 CCS pads for less aggressive needs.

Would the flex 4-3/8" backing plate work ok on the 5" hybrids?

Hi all, need recommendations on which pad type (not color) to purchase. These will mostly be used for maintenance polish, sealants on well maintained cars, but occasionally used on corrections. The pads will be used on BOTH a Flex 3401 dual action & Flex PE-14 rotary. I only want Lake Country...

Can't wait to see this one! That is an awesome looking truck!

Started with a PC, upgraded to flex, worth every penny in my opinion if you can afford it and make use of it.

Gonna take a lot of orange pads and m105 to get that out....at least it was un eventful!

Look on autogeek for their polish guide, probably comparable to a swirl remover.......only used it by hand myself, so I'm no expert.

Thinking about trying some on my PE14, all I have is CCS pads, do they hold up better to a pad brush? How about splatter with compound / polishes compared to CCS? Thanks

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish, but I'd go heavy on orange and white, then fill in with red. Compounds and polishes cake require more pad cleaning, while waxes and sealants rarely require you to change or clean pads on the same vehicle(in my opinion). You will also abuse the...

Why not use a light polish, then wax/sealant?

Considering what you are looking for, I would hand polish what you have in pics with a light polish, then seal or cleaner wax with polisher depending on what it needs.
