I'm really not sure. I haven't noticed any distracting "bunching" of material, but then again I haven't paid attention to it. I've had my pair for quite a while and they're pretty worn. The first thing that started to wear out was the velcro. The gloves are on their last legs now and a new pair...

In 2015 I started using vibration reduction gloves. I liked them, but they were bulky and didn't give me a confident grip on my tools. In 2016 I started using the Griot's Garage gloves and they were perfect. I didn't wear them for one paint correction job that year and the lingering pain was...

With that many small pieces for the strobed stripes I wouldn't worry about using a matte-specific coating. If you want something that will last a long time and looks great on paintwork and matte vinyl graphics then look at Gtechniq's Crystal Serum Light. I've installed it on many Mopars with a...

I used Bead Maker as a drying aid the other day on my personal car. It has various coatings on it. It worked very well and left the paintwork looking nice from various angles and lighting. The paintwork didn't feel super slick afterward or 24 hours later, but it sure looked nice! C2v3 at 1:1 and...

Great job! F8 Green is a beautiful color! Also, the picture with the QuickJack has me reconsidering whether or not I get one. After all this time I'm still on the fence about it because of their one-year warranty. How well does it fit under a Challenger? Any issues?

I use Optimum Power Clean at 1:5 or 1:3 or ONR at 1:256 and a leather scrub brush followed up by slightly damp (with ONR) microfiber towel. This steering wheel was cleaned very gently with ONR and the below linked brush. Leather & Vinyl Interior Scrub Brush

That's my favorite Pantera song! I've been in a Glenn Hughes mood today. Glenn Hughes - The Boy can Sing the Blues

CarPro Reset us really, really nice. It cleans well and doesn't leave behind anything to interfere with one's LSP. The McKee's product is also great, but the smell eventually got to me and I don't look forward to using it much anymore. If I had to choose between the two I'd pick CarPro Reset...

I agree 100% - give me hockey any day and I'll be happy. I played hockey and football during school years and made the decision that football isn't where the fun and interest is at. I'm going to a pre-season Stars game next week. I can't wait! Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

Use light pressure and start at speed one on the PE8. Do a pass at speed one and then check your progress. If you're not in a hurry, and if you don't have prior experience with the PE8, it's a good idea to use the tool at the lowest speed setting for just a short amount of time, check your...

Re: Flex 3401 & WGUC issues I have this problem sometimes with compounds, especially if it's really hot outside. Shorter duration section passes and add a tiny bit of finishing polish and the problem can be made less impactful. I add two or three drops of M205 and then add the compound. You...

I haven't remediated a feral cat, but in 2014 I took in a stray who was partway domesticated. He was maybe eight or nine months old. He was small, he didn't look stunted, but there was something different about the look on his face. To this day I believe that his mind never developed completely...

Environmental conditions play such a big part in protection durability that it's hard to say how long a given product will last. I'm in North Texas and around November of 2016 I applied Wolfgang Fuzion to my Challenger. It's a hybrid wax/sealant that is wiped on and then wiped off (letting it...

Thank you for sharing an update! That's really cool to see! Do you know if the trim pieces have been cleaned very often since you made the first post?

I absolutely love my PE8 and make use of it frequently. I use it on mirror caps, bumpers, for removing sanding marks on spot repairs, headlights, and anything else that doesn't have a lot of surface area. On clear coat I use the one- to three-inch pads from Flex or sometimes the three-inch Boss...

The pads are one inch in diameter and won't fit a Porter Cable. You can use them with a rotary and a one-inch backing plate or I suppose the Rupes iBrid with its smallest backing plate, but I don't have an iBrid to test that thought. I tackle very small areas like what you describe by hand with...

I've worked on tons of Mopars with matte decals. What works for me is taping around the edges of the vinyl and then using a one-inch cutting pad to remove defects by hand. You can polish in the same way. It's important that compound or polish does not make contact with the vinyl. Apply two...

Great result! The Mustang looks fantastic! The 3D product looks like it will be a great choice for one-step jobs. Mike, do you recall how long it took you to polish the car? You mentioned using 6.5-inch pads and a Flex 3401. Lately I've been considering using 6.5-inch pads (after misplacing the...

I listen to rock and metal on Google Play Music. I'll add six or seven albums to a queue and listen to them in sequence. It's great when the artist tells a story that spans multiple albums (like what Rhapsody of Fire used to do). Sometimes I'll listen to the same album multiple times in a row if...

I second this. Mark and I have been working together for the past few months and he's a great guy who is very helpful. I can't say enough good things about him and his mentoring service.
