Similar thoughts here about the Flex Wax: decent gloss, but not user friendly. Due to a pricing discrepancy at Pep Boys, I was able to buy two bottles of the Flex Wax for like $20 when the product was first released. Returned the unopened bottle and gave away the opened bottle I was working...

I recently used some 3D HD Polish+ that I had sitting around unused from a while back and have absolutely fallen in love with its gloss, work time, and easy wipe off. Not in love with the fact that it has been discontinued. I emailed 3D and they recommended the ACA 520 or AAT 502 products as...

3D HD Polish+ Looking for someone with extra 3D HD Polish+, which was discontinued by 3D a few years back. It’s the only polish that finishes out two of my black cars (due for their winter prep polish) without hazing, and I just realized after looking that I don’t have another 16 oz. bottle in...

Picked up a qt. m210 on clearance at Autozone for $22. After reading up on m210 afterwards, it appears that it was formulated to finish down the paint after a compounding stage to remove any faint tick marks or hologramming left from the compounding. Would a m210/yellow Rupes pad combo be...

I have (x2) 23oz. bottles of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Graphene Flex Wax to trade. One bottle is unopened and the other has about 90-95% left, if I had to guess (bottle is black). Looking to try out Carpro Reset and Duragloss 931 Rinseless Wash.

TW Graphene Flex Wax and TW Seal and Shine (old version) have been considerable disappointments for me. Flex Wax- I have applied the Flex Wax (1-2 sprays per panel) using both a square mf applicator and and it was always a streaky mess, regardless of the amount of product I used, ambient...

Wolfgang Fuzion Hi, all. I know it’s a long-shot, but does anyone have some extra Wolfgang Fuzion that they would be willing to trade for some P21s 100%? Bought an e63 M6 manual that will be a garage queen and not a daily driver, and the WGF seems like it would be perfect.

Mike, I run mostly 3” & 4” pads, with the appropriately sized backing plates, on my GG6. Did you experiment with running these smaller sized pads during your testing of the G9? If so, what was your experience? If not, would you have any reservations about doing so (i.e. running 3” and 4”-sized...

I dampened the pad, initially, with (x2) sprays of BF Pad Conditioner and spurred the pad after every section, which usually consisted of ~5 passes, and added another spray of the conditioner before moving on. The pad was always clean for each section and did not appear to be over saturated...

Megs m101. It will dust a little, but definitely tolerable. The cut is for real (significantly greater than m105 in my experience), and I can finish out LSP ready on harder paints w/close to 100% defect removal. For instance, combos I recently/currently used (panel by panel experimenting) on...

+1 Have been dressing my painted wipers with OOS as well, lately. 2 or 3 light coats with a few minutes b/w applications really darkens the black and provides great protection.

A tip for OP and all: Wipe the area (with a MF towel), both vertically and horizontally, that you suspect is hologramming and inspect the results. For illustration: wipe vertically and inspect, then wipe horizontally and inspect. If you see the direction of the lines/hologramming mirroring the...

+1 Used the leaf blower on a snow covered car this past weekend and it worked great. Started the car, put the seat warmers and heat on, went around the car w/the blower in ~5 minutes- done. Hopped in the (warm) car w/95% of the snow off of it, all without the risk of marring/scratching the...

Buff 'n Shine's Uro-cell pads are also closed-cell pads that come in a simple cutting (blue), polishing (orange), and finishing (red) format, and are purportedly designed to absorb less product. I am partial to the red Uros for finishing. The orange pads cuts slightly less than the LC...

I feel your pain, and can attest to the rotary saving my a** more than a few times. Last week my partner and I detailed a white '08 F150 Sport. Hardest clear I have ever worked with. Experimented with various pad, polish, and polisher combos (including GG6, Flex 3401, HD Cut +, Ultimate...

I have used both, although not extensively, and would not say that I notice an appreciable difference between them when equipped on my Makita, tbh. I originally loaded up on the blue Hybrid wool pads for use with a Flex 3401 that I purchased, but have found the amount of cut slightly...

Similar experience here w/the PO106FF. A year ago I purchased a bundle on Craigslist from a guy who was unloading detailing supplies he had been keeping in his basement since 2008-ish. This included several bottles of opened and unopened Menzerna polishes and other products (FMJ, Acrylic Shield...

Possible steps to accomplish your stated objective(s), as I understand them: (i.) Spray Poorboys Bug Squash on the more contaminated areas of the car at, say, undiluted, 1:1, or 2:1, depending on the level of contaminants present (ii.) Wait ~10 minutes for product to work. (iii.) Rinse car...

Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. It lives up to the hype.
