    Flat or CCS doesn't matter. Just work menzerna until it starts clearing up.

    Air Knife? Knife Air Chuck?

    I am not a fan of vacuum or leaf-blower attachments. Our world is too noisy as it is. Too bad it won't hook to a compressor (and was a little smaller, my goodness).

    2 bucket...1 bucket too many

    The good ol' days...! Someone mentioned this before...It wasn't about planting flags. I thought it was a better method so I shared. kudos to Gary.

    Nissan tests self-cleaning paint

    "Ultra-Ever Dry® does protect electric connections from water and moisture and is non-conductive, but Ultra-Ever Dry® is not clear. It dries to a translucent white color, so we cannot recommend ..." Looks like unless your car is white, this could be a problem.

    GG Glass Polish

    You really only need one glass pad. The Griots seems to be sold in threes for the pad and the bottle of polish is perhaps larger than it needs to be if you are a hobbyist like me. So you wind up spending double. I'm sure the GG products work well and this would be a benefit to a shop or...

    A few questions before I turn on my GG6

    I actually like the handle on the GG6. I don't feel it gets in the way at all until you get near the side view mirror, and only just barely. With the handle, I can reposition my arms so I don't get carpal tunnel or sore from using the same "stance" holding the machine for hours. That said, I...

    My technique concerning the 3401, Menzerna products, and Hybrid pads

    Well to add to it, it was 70 degrees, black truck and I worked with it in direct sunlight. The paint was very warm to the touch. So the situation was stacked against me, thinking this would probably have made the polish dust even more. If I were to put a reasoning behind it, I believe the pad...

    My technique concerning the 3401, Menzerna products, and Hybrid pads

    Dusts like crazy? Strange, I used FG400/GG6 with a CCS orange LC pad with very good results - better than I ever hoped (multiple neighbors are begging me to do their cars now): http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/79369-menz-not-menz.html I used speed 2 to spread, then...

    Air Knife? Knife Air Chuck?

    In using the compressor to blow water off the car after a wash, it works well for the seams and trim, but for an open panel like a hood or roof, I find it lacking. I feel if there was an attachment to use that blew air out through a slit - like if I stabbed butter with a butterknife - it would...

    Advice on these scratches

    Here is a result on a black truck that is 15 years old used for construction. The paint was destroyed and what it looks like after one step FG400: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/79369-menz-not-menz.html

    bring the shine to the car

    Sorry for the hijack. Yea that mismatch annoys me. And by the way, i am in the cnc business and BMW nor any other car manufactures their own molds. So regardless the brand, the mold can still be cut to the same specifications and the cost will not be affected. No one notices 0.001", but that is...

    Looking for an economical trip protectant that doesn't drool

    How much are you applying? I found 303 to be quite good on exterior as well and don't have any running issues. But I apply it in gross moderation. A little goes a long way. If the pad is wet or damp, I keep rubbing new trim areas to use it all up till the pad is dry.

    bring the shine to the car

    It's a shame to see in today's day and age with CNC equipment holding 0.01mm tolerances easily, the poor matching between the bumper and driver front fender on your car. I would have probably rejected that if I was buying new and told them to get me another, identical car. How that passed...
