Blue Painters tape for "Multi-surfaces" can leave a residue on some trim but, blue tape for "Delicate surfaces" works great and leaves no residue.

It is typical for any aggressive polish or when a polish is not worked in or broken down properly. And yes, OP does take longer to break down then other polishes...try using less product and check a section periodically as the polish break downs (at each change in the polish) until the hazing...

I use an APC and detailing toothbrush - How to remove dried wax from plastic trim on your car or Poorboy's Trim Restorer

Welcome! I grew up in Ventura - lived there for 15 years off of Kimball/Telephone Rd. I go down there at least a few times a year to visit family (my sister lives in Camarillo). Great Place!

Like MotorCity Honda said, the cut of the orange pad is the cause of the marring...not the CCS pad itself. Working on black or dark non metallic colored cars is a whole different ball game and IMO polishing black is the only way to truely learn and understand how to polish and use a machine...

Don't know?? I haven't seen the condition of the paint....I'd start off with FPII/blue pad and go up from there. 106FF has a bit more cut then FPII but there isn't that much difference in cutting with a PC. If you are going to step up, I'd look into getting something like Menzerna IP, Poorboy's...

I know...it can get so confusing :confused:...anyway it's still a mild combo & when using this with a PC/UDM it has very little correcting abilities....depending on the severity, you might need to do multiple passes with the UDM.

That is a very mild polish/pad combination...I'd use that combo for a finishing pass to remove hazing or very, very light surface marring and bring back the gloss...not for any correction. Try a test area and see if it works. If it's not removing the swirls, slow down your passes and add...

Yes, there is a small amount of play in the backing plate, and if the hex screw is tight, it does take some pressure for the backing plate to touch the machine....but if the screw is loose the backing plate does have more play and if pressure is applied will cause it to rub. Thanks, I remember...

Excessive Detail check your hex screw on the backing plate and make sure it's not loose....when I got my Flex, all the screws on mine needed to be tightened. If the backing plate is loose I could see it causing excessive rubbing when pressure is applied. With that being said, I can see if you...

Or even wetsanding...I've had good luck removing stain with 2000 grit paper. +1 for Metallwerks they have great metal polishes and the Aluminum Compound might actually be strong enough to remove the stains. Here is Metallwerks kit at work: Like Budman3 said though, your gonna...

Cool shot Scott!! You gotta love the fast shutter speed. The 40D is a great camera. I was playing around with it yesterday with the kids and got some cool shots:

Thanks guys....now the weather is clearing up I need to get some shots of some cars! Thanks and I am! If you enjoy taking pictures it's well worth it...both Canon and Nikon make great entry level DSLR that cost about the same as a higher end P&S.

Well I got it...my D300 came last week :cheers: and all I have to say is WOW it's an incredible camera. Great autofocus, metering, features and high ISO (about time Nikon!) I also love being able to fine tune each of your lenses...no more back or front focusing! the tripod Live view works...

First beautiful model and background :cheers: I like the composition in the first few images, but I'm just not feeling the crocked horizon lines in 5-7...IMO it's very distracting and takes away from the shots.

:whs: Folex is one of the best interior cleaners available

:iagree: I had the same experience with it...only used it a few times because it was such a PITA to remove. I'd use XMT glaze or Clearkote Red Machine Glaze instead.

My website isn't for a detailing business more for detailing information. Paintcare & Detailing - Enthusiasts guide to detailing - website, layout, design, photos, videos, graphics, etc all done in house...my house, by me :D.

The kids were gung ho this year to carve some pumpkins so we found some templates and started early. We'll do a few more on Halloween but this is what we've do so far:
