I'm not Jason, but I'll do my best to answer your questions. Jason is actually in the Ukraine right now, but I just had a 30 minute conversation with him and covered some of the questions you asked. The smaller but more frequent orbital of the action of the Mille (me-lay) did present some...

That's my dad - all the way to the right - under the American Flag. Wow, I wasn't expecting that at all when I clicked on this. My father was an amazing man and made the trip to the Meguiar's Roadshow with me to support my passion. Thanks for the great memory (and yes, that is me in the...

"Lake Country HDO 5.5 Inch Foam Pads Lake Country 5.5 Inch HDO Foam Pads were designed for use with the Griot's Garage BOSS G15 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher, or other similar long throw polishers. The face of the Lake Country 5.5 inch HDO Foam Pad is 5.5 inches with a 5 inch backing. A 5 inch...

I'm not a chemist but I'll play one on the internet... :) It is my understanding that most of the exposure to O2 is comes from when the product is misted onto the paint. The fine atomization is what allows a lot of the product to react, because of the almost inconceivable increase in surface...

Also, there may have been formula changes since I worked for PBMG, so I would trust their answers more than mine.

BFWD can separate. Shake the crap out of it, then flip it upside for a while, then shake the crap out of it again. You will actually hear an audible change when it mixes back together. Once it comes back together, shake some more. (It can take 5 minutes of hard shaking to get things back where...

"I can't imagine why Griot's says go ahead and Rupes doesn't advise? " Well I can certainly address this particular point of the question, and a few others, at least from RUPES perspective. First, it is important to keep in mind that RUPES is an actual tool manufacturer who has built an...

Another lesser known fact... Many of you may use or hear the term jeweling... It was a term I started using to talk about a dedicated rotary polishing step that was even finer than finer to help combat swirl marks and really push the gloss up... circa 2007. However, I was not the first to use...

I am sitting on an airplane so I cannot go into too much detail, but your polishing time per section is about 4 minutes too long. After 1 minute you are loading paint residue into the pad, the abrasives are loaded with paint, and the lubricant is no longer as effective. The combination of a...

A few things to note, for what it's worth. A 7-inch pad has a surface area of (approx) 38.5 inches squared. A 1.2-inch pad has a surface area of 1.1 inches squared. In other words a 7-inch pad has 38 times, or 3800% larger. This has a drastic effect when it comes to the amount of force the...

The back to back motion is a function of the oscillation and the soft start. Until enough torque is available to the pad to break it loose (think a drag car and traction) the tool will drive against you. It is usually very very minor and noticeable for a split second... However, if the shroud...

That's a big negative ghostrider. While it is possible the washer mod could cause some issues (I supposed an improperly aligned washer could some how slice into the backing plate but even then this would be very rare and unique), we are not going to void a warranty over an unrelated problem...

Both the ES (blue) and MKII (gray) backing plates attach to the microfiber hook and loop no problem. No need to feel uneasy other than you seem to have a unique circumstance. Did you try other RUPES microfiber pads? As far as the microfiber backing plate, the biggest difference if I remember...

On a random orbital tool, the oscillation is driven by the motor. The rotation is non-driven and is a function of multiple things such as friction applied to the pad, centrifugal force, and drag in the bearing. So modifying the tool by disengaging the anti-spin shroud is going to have the most...

Zero.

Looks great.. :) Just a suggestion... Instead of reducing pressure (assuming you are using a DA), keep pressure constant and perhaps reduce speed for the last pass or so... You will get a better result on a DA by not letting the pad spin up under light load, although I think your results...

Likely was Jermey Harding.

When you review P808, try it as a drying aid. Flood your car, then add a few mists per panel before towel drying. I think you will be VERY pleased!

Thank you for the review. M606 doesn't leave behind any "gloss enhancers" (i.e. silicones, waxes, etc) so I am not surprised that you wouldn't see an improvement in gloss or sheen. The targets for this product were extreme ease of use (it should be very difficult to create streaks), rapid...
