    tried menzerna fg400 for the first time

    I invested a lot of $ in other stuff until I found Menzerna. The only thing I've really not wrapped my head around is that a lot of folks do 400, then 1500/2500 and 4000/4500. Where do the other products best work in the lineup? These ranges for me have covered most. And Powerlock, don't...

    Having problems attaching foam cannon

    That's normal and looks correct. Those fittings are NPT, which is "pipe thread" which gets larger in diameter the further you screw in. It's designed so that it seals itself as it tightens. You want to get it tight, but you're not looking to do he-man on the tightening part. What you have is...

    Liquid Glass over spider web scratches

    He's going to have some worn out arms trying to polish off both the Liquid Glass and the swirls given he has no DA. I don't envy him. I'd attack a panel at a time personally.

    Well, this hurt my heart a little

    the 2002 was generally regarded as being one of the more popular F-Body years. The car in the picture is a Camaro anyway. Pontiac went out of business in 2010. In 2012, General Motors signed a licensing deal with the company, Trans Am Depot to use the Trans Am name and Pontiac logos in custom...

    using kerosome is it true ?

    kerosome = Kerosene? I'm not going to say it wouldn't work, because I could understand in some instances where it would, but when it finally evaporated you didn't fix anything just masked it.

    Long Throw Polisher Proper Technique????

    Thanks for the a-hole comment, I think that's giving me a better appreciation of the source. That said, you didn't answer the primary question. What is it about the Duetto and Mini that wouldn't work for you that you had to sell it at a loss?. Let's not let your panties in a bunch obfuscate that...

    Long Throw Polisher Proper Technique????

    You know, you seem to jump in every polisher thread these days bashing Rupes claiming this, but I have a problem with it that you need to explain. If you had "the whole Rupes line" Just what about a Duetto couldn't you get to work either that you had to sell it at the "huge loss" you've claimed...

    Want to try Rupes!

    I agree. In most cases the rotary will be all you need. Gelcoat is some hard stuff.

    Is it Flex and then everything else?

    I feel personally that I can get a better finish with the Rupes. Keep in mind also that my experience is with the Rupes 15, not the 21. I use both the Flex and the Rupes on the same car in many cases though. I'll use the Flex to get the car to an almost LSP ready state and the Rupes for finish...

    Is it Flex and then everything else?

    *Ding! That's your answer. The Flex is great if you don't want to learn technique and or match the pad and the product to the job. It's fast, simply because it won't stop mo matter what you do to it which can be totally boneheaded. If you buy a non-forced rotation DA you have to learn some...

    Meguiars MT300 Quick Review

    Wouldn't be mine. It's not a noticeable upgrade over the GG6, has the same throw, and doesn't carry a lifetime warranty like the GG6 does. It's not situated for the professional market, it's a hobbyist tool and as such that warranty becomes a much bigger factor as most hobbyists will only use a...

    How much should I charge for car clean ups?

    The high side of that $ amount will get you a drive through car wash and an interior vacuum and tire shine where I am. My thought is your time is worth much more. You do however have to worry about losing existing clientele raising the prices too quickly. Pricing like yours is like a rush to...

    Car might be burnt to a crisp

    Here's a solid link I believe: Military members’ personal vehicles among cargo aboard ship damaged by fire - News - Stripes Sucks.. Question will be is who's insurance covers it? Hope they don't have any escape clauses, but the comment at the end of that article about the BMW is a bit chilling.

    Shop Vac - Where am I going wrong?

    I own a Master Blaster, but I will say that if you think that one is nice try getting your hands on one of the Bosch hoses. Makes the MB one seem like a toy.

    Flex 3401vs Rupes 21

    That sir is a statement I can agree with. But as you yourself are an example when you say you use the PC - it's not always about getting the most expensive. There's a lot of misinformation on this site in people getting told they "should get x" for a polisher when most of the time they don't...

    Flex 3401vs Rupes 21

    My answer is like this: People gravitate to recommending what it is they bought whether it's the best or not. They are sure it's the best because they bought it. So generally take these threads and figure what they're worth. I own multiple. The Flex IMHO is good if you think you need to put...
