The irony here kills me: I get that the typo keeps you from wanting to be an early adopter .....especially since you have been on the CMX bandwagon the last 1001 years!!! (Since 1019)

Very nice!! Jeep’s can be a bit of a PITA to polish out. Pics look great!! I need to try some of the New Rupes AIO. Tom, seems like you are enjoying the CBeast!!! I love mine! Cordless is king!

Never heard of it. I will say 303 makes some quality products and I’m sure if it’s worthy, AG will carry it.

This certainly looks awesome! Personally, I would be fine with spending the $ on a quality buffer. I think it’s awesome being able to blast out a flat panel with the 21mm then switching to a smaller orbit for a curvy or convex panel all with a quick turn of the collar. I’m not sure if I will...

The finest clay I have used that is still effective is Pinnacle. It is the most likely clay to not leave marring behind. Won’t always be the case tho. Try a test spot. Shall I say it is the most gentle clay product on the market.. Pinnacle?s Ultra Poly Clay is the single finest clay...

For the really nasty jobs using the Beast, I use LC Hybrid foamed wool and 3D ACA 500. That combo will remove some serious defects and sanding marks. It will definitely need a second step after that to finish. Other compounds I will use with a foamed wool pad on the Beast are: Megs 110 Sonax...

Maybe theoretically but..... I have used a ton of closed cell pads in my lifetime. They still become wet and less effective at the same rate as open called pads. Also closed cell pads wear out much quicker, so swapping them frequently will help lengthen the lifespan of the pad.

I use 6.5 inch hybrids a lot with the Beast. Love them. Here is one personal observation of the Beast.... after you get some time in with the machine, you learn to balance it. Obviously that time will be different for individuals. You should get to the point where you can run (steer) the...

I have an older bigger one so I’m no help in that department. Whatever extractor you have, I highly suggest running distilled or filtered water thru it at the end of each and every day you use it. Talking to the Mytee rep about 15 to 20 years ago, he said this is the single most important...

Yes it works great. Nice thing that I found about BF One Step is that it’s synergetic.... meaning any of their true LSP products work great with it. I’m a huge fan of BF One Step with a layer of Midnight sun wax on top.

I love the Flex cordless and use them as much as possible. No cords are amazing. That being said, I’m power hungry and sometimes their corded cousins just can’t be beat!

This stuff looks amazing with some durability to boot!! Removing 5000 grit is pretty good in my books and I’m sure you can up the aggression with a different pad. Although bumping up from a white LC Hybrid may leave some pad marring from my experience. So test spots will determine... Mike...

A few of my thoughts here: First is the fact there are so many different brands and TYPES of buffers..... great for detailers. The best buffer is what you are comfortable with and works for YOU!! If you are happy with the results, then you have the right machine. Personally, I cut with a...

My suggestion: If you aren’t experienced at sanding, don’t do it ....especially on factory clear coat. You are better off living with some scratches that sanding thru clear coat.

Buff Brite Fur-eel Pet Hair Remover This works really good. You may need to get an adaptor direct from the company since AG doesn’t carry it. Think it’s called “the Fang”

Very very very cool!! Mike has always been very generous......with his knowledge and also giveaways like this. Mike is a prime example of how great the detailing community is.

Stick with an AIO product. I suggested Blackfire One Step. You can top with any of Blackfire’s protection protection products if you wish. It’s super easy to use and the results may have you second thinking about getting a professional correction. HD Speed is also another great AIO product.

To Add: From experience, if you are using an AIO properly, you should be using 6-8 ounces a vehicle depending on the size of the vehicle area. It is easy to keep track of how much I use since I transfer in a smaller 8oz squeeze bottle as I explained here: BLACKFIRE One Step Proficiency Tips

Mike, at about 25:25 you discuss silly pea size drops in the “how to buff you car out in one hour or less” video. You already sent me some cool stuff recently so me need to do so. Just wanted to help! :props:

Spend the money and get a Flex PiXiE. Trust me.... one of the best tools out there.
