    Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)

    Another couple votes for collinite 476 and 845! Years ago when I was doing dealer production detailing, we had a paint protection package that featured this "super sealant" that was suppose to last 2 years to be applied to brand new cars. I got my hands on some, properly prepped my car, and...

    Newbie looking to polish a black Volkswagen GTI

    X2. Did my wife's 2010 black sportwagen with the Blackfiire SRC duo with fantastic results. Orange LC CCS pad for cut, White CCS for polish. I used the GG6 on the entire vehicle. BF SRC compound finishes extremely nice. FWIW, I just did a 2007 Q7 this past weekend (with perhaps your exact...

    Franken-flex modded 3401

    So I'm the curious, tinkering type and I can't seem to leave anything alone. I had some leftover 3m 1080 vinyl from a set of wheels, so why not!? Also, trimmed down the backing plate to 4 15/16" to fit the 5.5" buff and shine flat pads that I prefer for this machine. My newest "tinker" is a...

    For me, the DAs are predominately used for finishing work, or "2nd" stage swirl removal after compounding with the PE14. Rotary polishers (especially the PE) are soooo smooth. Never used a long throw, but I can't imagine it being as smooth! One is on the short list though! The beautiful thing...

    DeWalt DWP849X or Makita 9227/9237

    My personal preference, Makita 9237 hands down. I owned the 849X for about a year and it was a fine tool, but some of its quirks got a little old to me. I now have the 9237 for sale and own the PE-14. Some of the quirks with my dewalt were: - It ran HOT. 4+ hour compound jobs with a wool pad...

    just ordered the Flex PE14-2-150

    Congrats on your purchase! I too, just recently snagged the PE14, and all I can say is, "Why did I wait so long!?" Superior maneuverability over the "larger" rotary units, and decibels quieter than even my Makita! (I can't stand the sound of the dewalt unit under load). Also runs much cooler...

    Thanks for all the greetings! I do hope to glean and further contribute to this forum! No relation that I know of. I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, and most my extended family lives around Kzoo, GR and Holland! Small world nevertheless!

    Greetings from Kalamazoo, MI! My name is Brandon and I have been detailing since I was 16 (29 now). I've been a long-time on-looker and sponge of all things AGO. Videos, articles, etc. Figured it's time to say, "HI." Been running rotary buffers (Makita 9227, 9237c and dewalt 849, 849x) in...
