Thanks for the help!

Driving myself crazy trying to decide which electric washer I should get. I want it for my cars but also to remove mold from siding and some small areas on concrete. Has anyone owning this 1400 psi pressure washer tried It on concrete and siding? Enough power to clean them, maybe after...

Fellow worker has the polisher for about 6 years and its beginning to cause him some problems. Its grinding, like a wrench thrown in a turbine (not my words) runs slow than eventually kicks in to the setting speed. Has anyone experienced this? If yes, have a solution? Thanks, Howard

Hoping you can help so I can plan on what to do in the Spring. When cleaning the car this past weekend I saw this new spot. What you think it is? Is it the start of clear coat failing? Paint discoloring under clear coat, is that possible? The area is smooth, like rest of the roof. I...

You just don't really ever know what you're removing and what is left behind. If you're trying to avoid using a polisher, you can do your prep wash, clay bar (if needed) and then wipe the car down with something like Kleen-Strip Prep-All. It is pretty cheap for a gallon at somewhere like...

Yes, its still beading quite well. Think you getting those afternoon showers often and my car parked in the garage each night certainly make the difference. Will see if northeast has a snowy winter and how PL holds up.

Huh, curious, what if I use a prep wash to remove the wax, this may also remove powerlock in some areas but at least the wax is gone. Now reapply powerlock, 24 hrs later apply Collinite. Since the surface is clear of wax wouldn't the sealant be strong?

Right now have Powerlock with Fuzion. Both were applied late June. Though was to put Powerlock back on with Collinite 476.

Prepping car for winter but having difficulty finding a thread that tells me if I need to do anything special to remove this? Thanks, Howard

Have a couple of CCS Smart Pads left, so I was looking to see if there any that work better with FG 400, MC2400 and SF 3800? Thanks, Howard

Thanks.........I will try this

Thanks for the help, will prepare for 2 steps this weekend.

Okay, so the normal process.....thanks!

Yep, this is exactly what I am getting............bummer!

Polishing certain colors like a black or a pearl blue seems to give payback in terms of getting good reflection, using power lock and Wolfgang Fuzion to have it shine bright. But how 'bout a color like Honda's Urban Titanium Metallic? I can get good reflection but just can't get that wet look...

Had difficulty finding a clear answer to this when doing a search. For a soft Honda Civic clear coat what pad should I use to hopefully do this in one step? Thanks, Howard

Thanks for the clarification. Planning on trying this tomorrow.

Sorry to bother you with this but I don't see an answer or just don't know all the acronyms used :confused: Once I go through wet sanding with 1000, 2000 and/or 3000 grit what is next? Use a DA or rotary? What pad and how aggressive a polish to work with? I have Menzerna products. Plan IPA...

LC Smart Pad

Past weekend I polished this car with a Flex DA, blue pad and 3500. For the most part the car only had light swirls, some scratches were removed with rotary, orange pad and 2400. My 2 questions: First, how is the reflection? Considered good or still too cloudy? Also, how do I get this color...
