David, A word of advice. If you haven't opened the pads yet return them now and get your money back. I made the same mistake when I picked up my HF DA and the pads started to fall about before I finished my car for the first time. The backing plate is too big for the pads and eats the foam and...

Some how I always manage to find the one road with unavoidable puddles every time I clean her but she's still pretty clean from yesterday's wash.

Madico Onyx on mine. 35% on front 20% in back and back window with a lifetime no questions asked warranty. I love the look and so far haven't had any issues with scratching but it's only about 6 months old and I've been very careful with it. I have to park in direct sunlight at work as well and...

:xyxthumbs: Anyone ever give you crap for it?

I'm envious of some of these collections! A shot of my little work area and homemade shelves that are completely overbuilt! I was able to lay on them before I put the braces across the front and I'm by no means small. Slowly making the transition from OTC to some quality product though.

Re: SON1C Synopsis 42 : DoDo Juice Carnauba Waxes - Austintacious Haha! A bit harsh but I have to agree with the sentiment. Every time I see a fake "HDR" I'm instantly turned off. Anyone with a little photo knowledge can make a car look good compounding with contrast, polishing it off with...

Someone may come correct me later but here's my input. Falling apart with lots of residue. 2 things come to mind. First, were you using a clay lube? If you were my next guess would be dried out clay. Was it bought new or left over? If it's previously used make sure to seal it in a sandwich bag...

I can finally do a proper job! Time to get busy.

I admittedly don't know much about the 3401 but from a quick look it's basically the step between a DA and Rotary. Meaning it's going to be more forgiving than a rotary but because of the forced rotation you still run the chance of burning paint. Unlike most DA's that would stop with too much...

As long as the surface is clean and it truly is only dust you'll be fine cleaning it up with a QD first. Just make sure it really is clean, you don't want the clay to work harder than it has too or chance dragging crap across the paint. You'll be fine as long as you take your time, pay attention...

Maybe I'm late to the party but I can't find these anywhere else right now. I'm hunting on Amazon for some decent MF's and came across a 12 pack of CG (MIC_506) towels for $22. These look to be about the same as the supreme 530's as far as thickness goes. Is this a hidden find or is this price...

:iagree: I tried to be cheap. I'll be redoing my fogs this weekend. I've done wheels, badges and the fog housing and it's extremely easy to work with. Also, someone mentioned taping off everything because of not having much luck peeling up the over spray. The trick to this for me was just...

When I dry with a damp MF it still leaves a bit of water behind of which I usually take off with a dry MF if I'm not going back with an ID or spray wax. This usually takes a little bit of buffing to get 100% dry, that's what I meant by "buffing till slick" Thanks though, the last bit was what I...

Sorry, title may be a little misleading. I'm not talking about taking the DA to a dripping wet car. I've been washing using a bucket full of MF and ONR and drying until the MF no longer grabs and is slick on the paint. In an effort to cut down on time before I start detailing for others I've...

On the store side, left hand menu towards the bottom is the "log in or register" and "view wishlist" options. Select view wishlist to log in, after you log in at the top of the page there are 4 tabs one will be your wishlist if you've added anything it will be under that. If you've already tried...

No one said the air was unstable, only that the pressure change during temperature swings is much greater with air than it is with nitrogen. I'm guessing since they're track slicks you're deflating them somewhat before runs, right? If not you're testing your luck. I'd be willing to bet you that...

Our newest, Lilo - 6 month old German Shepherd / Blue Heeler Mix I'm actually partial to Boxers but have always wanted a GSD so we tried out a new breed this go round. Pele - She's gone now, I sure miss her though.

I'd have to agree if you're paying for it it's not worth it really. This thread has shed new light for me. The tire shop here in town fills for free and I just assumed this was standard practice. You may ask around locally and see if anyone does it for free but I wouldn't pay anyone $7 to put...

I prefer Nitrogen myself. Is there a measurable difference from the quality of ride stand point? No, not really. Evan is right, 70% or our air is nitrogen. The problem however is filling with crappy gas station air that could possibly have a high concentration of water from humidity. If you...

Oops, my fault. I meant the Optimum Poli-Seal, not Opti-seal. I'm looking for quality first but to my understanding the BF TPnS and PoliSeal should be the same type of product. So my question I guess is the PoliSeal on par with TPnS enough so that it would be worth it to get the BOGO instead of...
