    I'm baffled - still have swirls after hours of work

    No your not being too picky! but something is a miss. and I agree those are swirl marks and don't warrant using m105. start looking at things like how are you washing your mf towels? and pads. I only use liquid laundry detergent and as little as possible. Now I think I read somewhere that...

    Confessions of a Frustrated detailer

    Whoah your in Cleveland, this is the land of "dumb and dumber". No not all clevelanders but there seems to be an unbalanced majority of them around these parts. Anyways talk to your boss first then go up from there. Be calm and show genuine concern. If that doesn't work, stay there until you...

    I'm baffled - still have swirls after hours of work

    What temp is your garage? If its below 40° or extra dry you may need an extra squirt of detail spray to keep it lubricated if its skipping. As stated above it sounds like you need to get more aggressive.

    next machine

    I did polish my friends 2003 Acura over the weekend but we ran out of light to take pictures. So what I learned was I need more speed! And that if I had another da I could have put one in his hands. So now I'm waiting for a 15% off sale for the Flex 3401. And maybe if i sell enough junk in my...

    Porter Cable 7424XP

    Thanks, I have been using the 6.5" pads and they have been working great, but now I'm reading that 5.5 and some 5" pads are better or give a nicer finish. If that's the case just wondering why they sell all the kits with 6.5" pads...

    Porter Cable 7424XP

    If the pc is only supposed to use 5" pads then why does it ship with 6.5" pads? am I missing something here?

    Waiting for my 7424XP to arrive...

    that should work fine for you, since the blackfire is an all in one and it contains a sealant you wont need to wax. unless you want to. some people like to to get extra gloss. im not an expert but to be on the safe side try doing a panel section first with just the blakcfire and see how that...

    well, since he has 3 boys and a tight driveway there were much larger priorities then a few leftover swirls lol, and since we got a late start we did the best we could. He/we are impressed with the revitalized paint :)

    Well I did the best I could on my friends 03 Acura TSX yesterday, and got a little done on my Baja. With temps in the single digits the rest of the week I guess this avenger of swirls will be stalled for a while...
