    Rotary Polish/pad selection and specs!

    Today I just picked up my Harbor Freight rotary, and my first impressions on it is that whoever built it, didn't go all the way to make sure it was a quality fit-and-finish tool. The screws to get the handle on were virtually impossible to tighten up as the screw holes were too small, and I...

    Should I ONR with this?

    Do a test area and see how it works. I can't see it hurting the paint, but ya never know.

    Rotary Polish/pad selection and specs!

    I've rattle canned a bumper before, and that was trying to match a pearl white coat. I've found that the best way to do it is to do thin layers and let it dry. Usually takes a couple days to do properly. Patience is key. On the side note, I am going to call around for a quote to paint it. It...

    Rotary Polish/pad selection and specs!

    Good to know :) :buffing: You know it! I actually have used the Hi-Tech sponge before, and to say the very least, I LOVE IT! I wrote a review on it some time back. What I will say is that you should only use it in the shade on a cool, freshly washed surface. Just make sure that you wash it...

    Rotary Polish/pad selection and specs!

    So I ended up getting a few Polishing and Finishing pads from Meguiar's So1o line as I have heard great things from it. Otherthan that, I have M83 and M80 already so I just ordered M9, the Hi-Tech Body Sponge, M39, Duospur Pad Cleaning Tool, Mothers Wheel Brush, DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator...

    Rotary Polish/pad selection and specs!

    So I am getting a rotary, though I am a bit bewildered on what polishes to get. I am on a budget of roughly $150 for pads, backing plate, and polish. My goal for the rotary is to remove mild and medium swirls (picture below). I also will be repainting the bumper with some rattle cans, and will...

    Silicone Tire Dressings Bad!! For Tires And Paint!!!!

    Just pulled this off of the Meguiar's forum, and thought it was very interesting in regards to tires. Goes along with what you guys were saying about the chemicle (it's called antiozonant). Their tire dressings apparently replenish the antiozonant in the tire from what they say, and I believe...

    What's everybody's favorite APC

    In terms of stuff you can buy from Walmart and such, nothing beats Simple Green. Smells MUCH better than Purple Power and works better IMO. Overall though, Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner is my #1 pick.

    motor oil.....

    I find nothing wrong with dino oil. Synthetic may give you those extra few ponies, but it does so by being a very light oil, and tries to make up for that protection loss of being light in with other methods. This simply means that while the oil itself will not break down as fast, these...

    Trim protection

    I suppose I could always opt out for some Zxilon treatment from the dealer (roflmao) :p Seriously though, I can't wait to get my rotary for Christmas and do a side by side comparison of this snake oil, NXT 2.0, and M7+M26 for laughs :)

    Trim protection

    So far, it seems I will be using M40 for the interior, and either Hyper-Dressing or ASD for the outside. If anyone has any recomendations on other products and have experience with M40, HD, or ASD, please chime in!

    Trim protection

    I forgot to mention the other big part of me asking is that I am looking for something more economical and cut down on the number of products I need. I was just informed that it is not the product that causes the fogging, and that it was just a rumor. So right now, I am looking for something...

    Trim protection

    As of right now, I am using Meguiar's Natural Shine, and while I do like it, I have heard rumors that some products will fog up the inside of the windows, and I notice that they do infact fog up (I hate dealing with glass). I have no problem with constant application of the product every week...

    Microfiber Woes

    With it settled that I will defiantly air dry them, the question that now bewilders me is whether to get Micro Restore or Micro Rejuvinator. What I am really concerned is performance, but what I've gotten so far is that both work equally as well. Searched through pages and pages of threads and...

    Bavarian Beauty

    We then went to the beach! We then settled home while it went to sleep for the night :) I washed her over at the public coin wash, ran down the freeway (erm at the speed limit of course... ) to dry her off, then went home and applied some QuikWax. About a few months ago, I had buffed...
