+1 on the thicker pads when using a rotary. Stay away from the low profile/thinner pads. I have used the Buff and Shine 6" flat pads with good results on my Makita 9227. I really like their cream finishing pad. I have been trying to source the 1.25" thick LC Hydrotechs, but have not had any...

CarPro Flash Pads & Gray LC Force pads. These were the only pads that gave full correction on 2008 Mazda MX-5 paint that I buffed out with a friend of mine last Sunday. Clear was very hard, as I came to find out. Friend & I test-spotted with 6" Buff & Shine URO-cell Cyan pads, 6.5" Buff &...

Blackfire Crystal Coat.........Im the MAN

If the pad quantity being washed is small, I recommend: (i.) wet face of the pad with warm water and rub in a small amount of Dawn; let sit for 30 min. (ii.) rinse out pad (ii.) spray pad with LATA (either undiluted or 1:1, depending on how bad the pad is soiled) and agitate face of pad with...

CarPro PERL @ 3:1 works great for what I'm looking for (low to medium shine). 4:1 would probably also work great and leave a nice fresh, clean look. This past weekend I wiped down my interior with some UWW+ mix and then dressed with PERL. Instead of using a Buff and Shine red foam applicator...

Have tried all three when I was polishing w/a GG6, which I have since swapped for the Makita rotary. The Compound II did not impress me, tbh, but I have read that it was meant for rotary usage and thus performs much better with forced rotation machines, which I wouldn't doubt based upon my...

M101/Optimum Polish II produced outstanding results while correcting my front bumper, earlier today. Both are SMAT, so there is no need to "break down" the abrasives, but both products allow for long buffing cycles with just a spritz of water/QD. I used the M101 with a LC yellow flat pad and...

Very nice ride, great job! Question though- what product(s) did you use to dress the exterior window trim and b-pillars? Do you have success with them? I have an E39 and every product (Blackfire trim sealant, Duragloss 271, Meguiars Ultimate products, etc.) I have tried to dress the plastic...

Does anyone have additional experience, good or bad, with these Uro-cell pads? Thinking about pulling the trigger on (x3) of every color (Cyan, Orange, Crimson) as an alternative to the much pricier Hydro-techs.

I've had very good experiences with both Sonus All-in-1 TAC and Chemical Guys Nonsense; very underrated products. Both far exceed anything else I have used for spot-treating stains, and have performed wonders in situations where my Optimum Power Clean (which I found to be a bit overrated, TBH)...

I have a few LC Hydro-tech pads, along with some other regular flat pads, that have begun to shred some of their material, but not much. My question is- how compromised (if at all) are foam pads, with regard to their usefulness and effectiveness, when this occurs? If they are indeed compromised...

Buff 'n Shine Notched Red Applicators without a doubt. Ultra soft foam, good absorbent properties (i.e. the lack thereof), and the way you're able to hold them b/c of the notched middle area have made these applicators the only ones I use for sealant/wax application. Trust me- buy them. Buff...

After finishing up my winter prep, favorites at the moment are: Rubber polymer sponges (faster than clay, & rinsable if dropped) Optimum Polish II (don't know why this product doesn't get more love - long working time, wipes off with no effort, excellent polishing or finishing ability, and...

Got an unbelievable deal this past weekend on a former hobbyist detailer’s supplies that he no longer uses, which were sitting in his basement collecting dust. Bought everything he was offering, and picked through what I wanted to keep; here are the remainders that I am offering for trade...
