    what dual action orbital polisher to buy???

    I think it also depends on how serious you are and how much money you want to spend. I have the older PC 7424 and Griot's. I would say the PC is better built, but I like the power of the Griot's. I do like them both. If this is your first, you could probably pick up a used/older 7424 for...

    Cost to install outdoor water faucet?

    There are really too many variables for anyone to say. One thing I would highly recommend if your intent is to wash your car with it is to have it added as part of a water softener installation. Then, the delta cost is pretty small, generally not much more than the hose bib. Of course, the...

    Wheel Spacers...How Thick??

    As mentioned, it really depends on the application. A general rule-of-thumb is that you need to have AT LEAST as many threads' worth of engagement as diameter. For example and simplicity's sake, if you had a 1/2" bolt with a 10 thread pitch (10 threads per inch), you would need minimum 5 turns...

    Well, the closest *available* number to my actual guess is 993, which also happens to be a nice Porsche.

    Two accidents in Two days

    Boy, that's some bad luck. I wouldn't go out and buy any lottery tickets if I were you. Glad you're OK. Good luck with the outcome. Hope they total it.

    tips for buying a new car?

    I would concur with others about not worrying so much about the paint. If the car is used, I would Google some forums related to the car that you are seriously interested in and become a forum member. Then surf, and ask. You will find a lot of advice about problem areas and what to look for...

    Cyclo or Porter Cable?

    My 2 cents: If you already have a Makita rotary and are looking for only putting down sealants/waxes, then a PC is plenty powerful. I would definitely vote for the PC since it is very maneuverable with a compact body, so you can get it into a lot of tight spaces like around mirrors, bumpers...

    What to use after m205?

    PO85RD3.02 has been shortened to PO83. They are nothing alike. PO83 is a heavy swirl remover "Super Intensive Polish". I think Menz's primary market focus (production line OEM) does not lend to consumer-friendly product names/numbers.

    Souveran- What am I doing wrong???

    Unfortunately, I did not leave a bare panel after finishing mine with 85RD, but my impression was that after the sealants, it was worse, and after Fuzion, it was better -- maybe approaching bare 85RD. This is not so different than your impressions. My observation is maybe this is just how...

    Big issues finding a product I need !!!

    Without too much grunge, a small brush like that should work. I found that the APC works much better with some brush agitation compared to much higher strengths APC without. Then when it get's close to the ground (so you don't scrape your knuckles), I switch to holding the brush on one end...

    Big issues finding a product I need !!!

    Don't know if this helps or not, but I've always just used a cheapo brush from the drugstore, supermarket, etc. They are typically 1-1/2" x 4". You can just check the stiffness and bristle density right there at the store to see if it meets your needs. The ones I get are similar to Vinyl &...
