Will I be wasting my time if I try to apply wax or a sealant this Saturday with high temperatures in the low 40s? Thanks,

not sure what I was supposed to get out of that?

since when was the interior NOT part of detailing a car!?! Understand that the main point of AGO is waxes, sealants, cleaners, and buffers/polishers for exterior paint but that doesn't mean that's the end of detailing!

I always thought interiors were just as important as exteriors.

^^^ This one belongs here, I got a new package but forgot to take pictures. just 6 pads and weather tech floor mats for my truck. oh and silver grit guards.

Thanks rmagnus that makes alot of sense. I would love to try the 3401 and the pe 14 from Flex, but right now I'm leaning heavily towards the dewalt 845, it has the nice price attraction.

Re: How to use a Rotary Buffer Any reason the students were using the Flex and not the Dewalt?

Thanks for asking these questions. What I'm trying to accomplish is, going from hand sanding to da polishing. The technique I'm using seems to be a waste of product and time, the end results are great but the process seems clunky and awkward. I have my eye on the Dewallt or maybe the makita...

OK, I'm very satisfied with the results with my PC and you can see that in the pictures. But since the WRX/STi has small panels I've been using a lot of 4" pads and have been wondering how much better the flex could be. But the few times I did get to use the big pads I have stalled them now and...

Yes I have, but I need help deciding which one is best for me. Its tough to make these decisions on 300$ + tools without even getting to see them let alone hold them or even hear them run.

What is the best coplimnt the PC? Or what tool should I buy next to cover what the PC doesn't and I will get alot of use from? Here is the project I'm working on now with just the PC.

So this is what I need to learn. After hand sanding to 3000 grit and polishing with m105 on a 3" orange pad on a drill (cuz that's all I have on hand) I could still see sanding marks. So i went back to 3000 on the PC speed 4 - 3.5" backplate. then repeated m105 and things look a heck of alot...

I picked up some 105 today, I will give this a try next before I buy a dedicated da sander.

Yes I am aware, there are many rock chips that need repaired so a repaint is not a big deal. If I get the scratches out I will live with the chips. Or Until I build a garage with a paint booth ... :-) Adams heavy swirl remover with Adams green pad is correct combination. sorry for the confusion.

reading through all of these wonderful articles is making my head spin and I am having difficulty addressing my specific problem. Im having trouble removing these scratches , i resulted to wet sanding but created different scratches of lesser value using, 1500, 2000 then 3000 grit followed by...

Feed back please :autowash:

Re: first order fourteenth post Ok, I hope I'm not annoying anyone with all of these questions and updates.. Anyways here is what the hood looks like after severe swirl remover on a green pad after about 4 applications. Now you can see why I am interested in a flex or rotary tool :-) I...

Thanks, i know! i still have 4 doors, 2 fenders, 2 bumpers, 1 hatch, 1 roof, a quarter panel, and half a hood to go... Thank you.

Yesterday Today :) There is still a learning curve going on here, but i would say this is my official first try at swirl remover/paint correction with the PC i used Severe swirl remover w/green pad twice before moving on to the swirl/haze remover with orange pad polish white pad sealant...

Actually I've been hooked decades ago but never had a place i could do this for myself or at this level. By hand? Ha, never again. Thank You, the Truck was easy :props: I may be crazy, but i like to think I'm not stupid :D The paint on the F150 is plenty good enough for a year round driver...
