    Before and after with carpro inside

    Just a small job I did over the weekend on a 370z. Used carpro inside on the seats combining use of a nail brush and softer bristle boars hair brush. And a very diluted Apc on the suede. I think it turned out great.

    Plastic Restoration 101 with Solution Finish - Do it yourself - Save Time - Save Money!

    Perfect response for me Mike. Yes I know nothing is forever but how you refer to it as not a dressing is basically what I needed. Most products I have tried look great for a tiny bit but don't last similar to the oem plastic. I'm looking for a solution to faded trim that might be able to just...

    New to Forum - Which Flex 3401 VRG Kit?

    No big deal if you don't wait though. The hybrid pads are still really good on the 3401. I've done tons of vehicles with them. These new force ones I think are to replace the hybrids.

    New to Forum - Which Flex 3401 VRG Kit?

    I think lake country is coming out with new pads called force pads. They are thicker and have a cooling hole. I'm waiting to hear back on when autogeek might get them. I would wait for these honestly. It looks like they will work with the flex oem backing plates which would be awesome since I...

    Help Before I Start My Polishing Process

    M205 with orange pad or white should finish out really well on VW paint. Try with orange. If you have any haze or anything just do one more step with a white pad and m205

    Need a NEW polisher....what would you guys recommend?

    I was also going to suggest maybe the BOSS 21. I have a GG6, 3401, lh75e and the BOSS 21 now. So far my thoughts are the larger throw polisher is a great time saver on big hoods and doors. Then I grab my lh75e for small areas and things that the BOSS doesn't fit into. After using the boss I'm...

    Is This Pitting on My Bumper?

    If they are actual chips and you can feel them with your nail, you should have some success with the dr color chip kit. All depends how many there are and how much time you want to spend on that. If it bugs you, maybe have it painted and do clear paint protection film over it for protection.

    ONR--What do you guys use it for?

    I use it for clay lube and rinse less wash.

    Help Before I Start My Polishing Process

    It should. Just something to get a little moisture on the pad is good. You will want to test what you have either way. If you can do orange pad and 205 and get your desired results on a small spot by all means try that on the whole car. Without seeing it I can only really speculate on what a...

    Also with 105 it can be dusty so mask the rubber and plastic trim and also tape off the window seal. I like to mist the pad every panel with distilled water to minimize dust

    Help Before I Start My Polishing Process

    I'm going to chime in and first go with OP said he got 105 and 205 which are just fine so we don't need to start throwing tons of other products as suggestions. These two with orange and white pads are going to be great. And since he has them already no need to go down the rabbit hole of...

    Torq 10FX polisher

    No big deal either way I think the PC or the gg as a first would have served you equally as well.

    IRON X or TRIX

    I just finished up a bottle of trix after exclusively using iron x and stoner tarminator. I have to say the trix worked great and I feel like I'm going to use it a lot. On the white vehicle I worked on it seemed to work great removing iron deposits and it just melted the tar away. I haven't had...

    Torq 10FX polisher

    I've used the PC and I own a GG6. Within minutes of using the PC I noticed it bogs down way faster. The GG6 was my first polisher and I loved it. I feel like it's much better than the PC but at the same time I would just wait and save up a little more for a Rupes or a BOSS polisher. Much bigger...

    SAMPLES (original post updated)

    I've got 3x white and 3x orange 5 inch LC Hybrid pads new in package I was looking to trade for some LC thin 6.5 or 5.5 inch pads. Would be interested in trading for any similar LC, BOSS, or Meg's similar thin pads. Just got a boss 21 and I'm looking to split up my pads a little more evenly...

    CarPro Cquartz and DLUX

    Yea essence should work just fine on a white pad. Just use the same speed that you did your final polish on before applying. It may take a bit more passes than you would expect to come off, which is a good thing as for durability, so just work slow. I had my flex 3401 at 4 with a white pad and...

    CarPro Cquartz and DLUX

    On my own car I was able to use a very light finish polish to level off a spot i found. If you are worried about going too far you could just polish it level and then ipa or eraser wipe down the area and re apply the cquartz to the area overlapping the polished areas edges.
