    5 or 6.5 inch hybrid pads?

    Yeah, but a smaller pad will conform to the curves better.

    Explanation of beeding all over?

    Aww, come on. When he hits the break peddle the beeds will roll right off anyway :P

    5 or 6.5 inch hybrid pads?

    You won't regret the smaller pads, but the interchangeable backing plates seem to have gone the way of the DoDo. You can get the smaller Lake Country plate, but it's still a wrench change to swap out. I was told when I ordered mine a few weeks ago that they'd had issues with the larger size...

    Is It OK To Use A DA Machine For Klasse HGSG Application?

    I'm exactly the same place.Best results by hand with the wipe on/wipe off method and 3 coats at least 8 hours apart.

    List of 30 min or less ways to upsell

    I think windshield clean/protect can be a slippery slope though. For every X you get there's going to be that 1 that looks like it was effectively sandblasted that the customer is going to expect miracles from. I'd say if you already have the car for a detail that as an add-in/upsell after...

    Sealant After Clay Lube?

    Personally I'd use a mild polish afterwards and before sealing as clay can induce micro marring but it's your vehicle to do what you want.

    Would you do this to your car (steam clean)?

    My thought is that my tap water is so crappy that I have to use distilled water in my Keurig for coffee, so I's destroy that unit in a couple weeks :-(

    Stuck On New Polisher FLEX/RUPES

    I have both a Flex and a Rupes 15. The Flex is definitely the master of the speed of cut, but I'll agree that it can be a beast. It's difficult at best to one-hand it. The Rupes I feel is a more finessed approach. Both have their place, I tend to use the Flex for hard correction and the Rupes...

    Dead wrong. When Are Your Fluorescent Lights Being Discontinued? " In effect since July 2012, the legislation eliminates nearly all 4-foot T12 lamps, some 4-foot T8 lamps, most 8-foot T12 lamps, and almost all standard halogen PAR38, PAR30 and PAR20 lamps from the market."

    Garage lighting

    I don't know where 3x for an LED strip works, because you'd need to be buying regular Fluorescents for just over $10. LED strips are $35 these days at Costco. And, at the end of the day they're worth it since fluorescents are being phased out, and the energy and the heat alone makes the LED's...

    Griots Garage BOSS long throw DA

    I'm the same way, 15mm over the 21mm. Unless you're doing a lot of flat panels then the 21 works, or else the extra throw in tight area and on curves is a hindrance not a help.

    Griots Garage BOSS long throw DA

    I can't speak for the polishes that come with the BOSS system, but their Machine Polish 1-4 you can do a lot better elsewhere. A lot of their other products are pretty good - their Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner, Rubber Cleaner, Interior Cleaner etc I like a lot.

    Browning tire

    I wouldn't get Purple Power anywhere near wheels. It's got a crazy high Ph (caustic)

    Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System

    Thing is, that wattage isn't necessarily a benchmark of how much power the device outputs, it's simply a measure of the rate of power drawn which can include heat loading of the equipment. You also don't know if that's peak or running wattage. Without a soft start i's possible that the only time...

    Dealerships, get out of the '80's!

    Oh agreed. Most exist only to hide enough to get the car out the door.

    Dealerships, get out of the '80's!

    Yeah, but it's really not like terry was the 80's. Microfiber didn't even start being available until the 90's and as late as the 2000 timeframe everyone was still saying terry or baby diapers. How soon we forget.

    anyone heard of 3M crystal Shield?!! and few other questions

    You may want to find out exactly what that 3M product is, because if it's a paint coating what you propose won't protect it, it'll probably polish it right off.
