    Griots 6" Pad recomendations

    I actually haven't purchased yet but I am leaning towards a flex. It is -12 degrees here in Chicago and the flex only has a 1 year warranty and I wouldn't use it until April so I think I am going to wait unless I find a nice deal on a used one.

    Masking Tape

    When you watch the video's on you tube even the pros have a line of tape going vertically down the hood of the car (over the gap between the hood and fender). If your using a rotary on a car, you should be good enough that you won't burn anything but I guess that is why they use the tape.

    My first engine detail - waterless method

    I agree 100%. Your engine is waterproof. As long as you don't go removing plastic part you can spray away with no worries. I have been cleaning my engines for the last 10 years and ( I don't cover anything) I have had no problems.

    Exterior Detail for the Winter

    I think you should see if the shop can do just add a wax. That should get you through the winter and get the correction done in the spring so you can enjoy it.

    Where can I find some IPA?

    When you guys do a IPA wipedown on your paint before you wax what is the concentration you use? Do you put it into a spray bottle and spray the paint like you would a quick detailer?

    What is your flex 3401 go to polish?

    I am thinking about picking up M105 and some M205 but am also thinking about cutting out a step and going with some Menzerna SIP. What would be the best combo for mostly daily drivers no exotics or show cars (My cars and my families cars)?

    I just sold one about a month ago. It was about 5 years old and worked great.

    How often?

    typically I clay 1 time per year and wax 2 times per year. I like to use a sealant since they typically last longer. I also use a spray wax (Lucas Slick Mist) after every wash. It only takes 5 mins for the lucas and adds a little more protection.

    What PDA are you using?

    Blackberry for the last 4 years and no problems. Iphones are nice but way too much hype and to fragile.

    Daily Driver combo

    I am happy and instead of spending another $75 on products, I would like to see if there are any other alternatives that I should give a shot. I guess it is to experiment.

    Daily Driver combo

    I am currently applying the zaino by hand. I am going to be picking up a Griots RO this spring and will probably also get some M105 and M205 for swirls. I am looking for a great sealant/wax combo that will last but also still have a very deep wet shine. I guess I should say I am looking for...

    How durable is the flex 3401

    I am down to getting either a griots Da or a Flex. I know the Griots comes with a lifetime warranty and the Flex comes with a one year warranty. They only problem is that I might use either one only 3-4 times a year. I think the one year warranty wouldn't really help me. For those that own a...
