Nice work! I need some stands badly. Mike, what temperate max will that wheel coating withstand?

Mine is one of the originals from years ago. If it breaks and I buy a new one then I won't lube the ring anymore:xyxthumbs:

I used a pin, the one with the ball at the end.

Not a official from flex. Mike said it a year or 2 ago. But I will look for the post in a bit for you.

Actually it is recommended if you apply a lot of pressure or are on a slight angle once in a while. It was also stated that it does not hurt to do it so why not take the precaution? The issue of the burnt backing plates a few years back was stopped by taking this precaution. If it doesn't...

I use a lithium grease on the felt ring. I usually apply twice a year. No need to over do it. And yes a good extension cord.

I would just rewash the car if it is too dirty to apply a second coat.

I have been using my 3401 for years now without issue. Yes it gets a little hot sometimes. Make sure you use the right extension cord and lube the felt ring a little.

I have used this as a QD for a while now. It works pretty good and leaves a slick finish.

The black/grey lets the finishing polish do its thing. No chance for the pad to cause marring. It works good with menzerna finishing polishes by letting the abrasives diminish and leave a nice gloss. The pad is strong enough to help eliminate minor marring and fine swirls. There are 2 green...

I use the black/grey pad for finishing polishes(optimum finishing, menz 85rd/106fa and etc). Light green pads for one step like power finish, 106fa and optimum hyper polish.

Kirpal let me what you think about the new MDX a week or so after getting it. I am deciding between that and the Audi Q7 s-line.

Car looks great

:iagree: I really didn't like the pinnacle either. It gets to tacky when working. Dodo lime prime lite is easier to use. But like stated above, you really don't need to use it after polishing. Kind of a wasted step and time.

I was going to comment, but I will leave this one alone:xyxthumbs:

Pinnacle yellow

A little harsh don't you think. I never apply a LSP with a DA. What does that have to do with anything anyway? Even if it was applied thick, wiping it, then letting it sit again should help it dry. If it is still smearing then maybe something is wrong. Unless you sit and watch these guys...

A pin with a round head is what I used to stick in there.

Did you rewash the car after polishing? So you say you didn't IPA? I would think that the oils from the polish are preventing the sealant from drying and bonding. Do you get a smear after wiping it? I get this problem from time to time. But only if the polish is not fully removed. Usually...
