Facebook groups and pages are just like that. I'll make the same post on the AG FB page as I do here and the quality of answers is a whole new level on here compared to Facebook. Now there's some good information to be had but you need to mine for it. It seems to plague FB groups as a whole...

Tips aren't expected in all businesses in the US. Typically, if you are charging a price that compensates properly for labor no tip is required. Usually the tip for these kinds of jobs is a show of gratitude for going above and beyond. For example, in my business, a hot dog stand, I do not...

In the contract you have with him (verbal or written), did you specify a contract termination date, price changes, or the like? If not, you could (you may not like this idea but it might be so out of the box it works), draw up a notice that due to increasing costs, your price will be going up...

You're definitely talking me into going for the G21 instead now. With a smaller pad (5in plate and 5.5in diameter, 1/2in thick LC flat pad) I shouldn't bog down on the curves of the cars or the airplanes (the REALLY time draining/life sucking polishing projects I do) I would imagine.

Awesome turn around! Looks like you got it all out Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

These answers are great. I figured they were too thin to prevent the paint from getting hit but I wanted to verify. The big issue is I'll buff out a car for someone and then it needs it again down the road because of improper care (let's be honest, not everyone is like us here in how they take...

How well do they prevent the paint from receiving the swirls though?

I do try to keep a light had on my GG6in (~ 5lbs of pressure is my goal) and run Megs Mirror Glaze polishing products (M105/205 combo usually). I don't notice too much bogging down with the flat pads myself honestly. I just figured if they weren't helping my work time then I'd consider a switch...

I'm in the same boat with my time being limited due to family, work, military, school, life, and probably two other things I cannot even think of right now. How much time would you say you saved? I.e. 25% 50%, etc. Just a ballpark guess.

I already use a sealant. I'm trying to prevent the paint itself from receiving swirls with the care that my family will provide. I'm trying to figure out if the coating will take the marring instead of the paint Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

It's mostly time for them. I'm trying to get my dad to take over maintainence washes at home. In the winter, it's hard to clean due to living on dirt roads in Michigan. You can clean at a quarter wash but by the time you hit the driveway the car is gritty again. A lot of times, we just wash once...

I'm running a 5in pad on it. I use the Lake Country flat pads right now. I'm considering switching to the thin pads though. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

Hey everyone (I'm just full of questions today), I'm kicking the idea of upgrading the 6in DA to the BOSS 15mm throw orbital. How does the 15mm throw handle curves compared to the 8mm throw? Do you notice a real difference in the amount of time you spend working on compounding and polishing...

Sadly no one in the family is gonna jump on the PPF wagon (already tried to convince). They will do a good job cleaning but I still fear marring and spider webbing still which is the real problem the paint will face. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

I agree about the techniques and staying away from a SOM but not everyone I'll do work for (my families cars) is going to use full proper techniques. They won't cause any major scratching that a polish can't clear but they will slowly web up a car. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline...

Hey everyone, I was looking for some input on the protection offered by ceramic coatings. I understand the UV A/B protection, chemical resistance, easier washing, oxidization protection, and the like but I'm wondering about the paints mechanical protection (protecting the paint from swirls). I...

Hey everyone, I'm buffing plexiglass on airplane Windows right now and I'm having trouble removing fine swirl marks. I'm using Novus plastic compound and plastic polish. I'm working with the Griots Garage 6-inch orbital and Lake County pads. I began the process off by using a 6-inch...

I had the good fortune to fly one of the advanced simulators in Tennessee at the transition training center for a small private jet while there for Air Force leadership training. As for PlastX I think you're right. I haven't had a chance to try because temps have fallen sharply here in...

Another Airplane project of mine is to polish out my propeller (it's bare aluminum on the front, black on the back). I use Mother's Aluminum Polish by hand but I wanna step up to my DA. What pads would be recommended (foam vs microfiber vs wool). Thank you again for your inputs (the wealth of...
