    One handed polisher?

    The size of an air sander... powered by electricity! A guy wanting or needing to polish with one hand will appreciate the palm throttle lever, and the machine weighs 2 pounds. Still testing it out for polishing purposes. I know what pad combo works, but it's not available quite yet. Best...

    Can't Get Rid Of Brown Tires!

    Good points, Bob. I kinda wondered if I'd be called to the mat on this recommendation. Regardless which method is employed to remove sidewall "browning", once it in fact has been eliminated, the cleaned rubber will be exposed to the elements. As the tire rolls along, waxes or carbon black...

    Can't Get Rid Of Brown Tires!

    Whiplash Willy... Not everything that is cleanable is water soluble. This is the case... in this case! Saturate a portion of white cotton towel with lacquer thinner, and rub it against the tire. Any dirt, grime, oxidized rubber, wax, carbon black, etc., will wipe right off. Make sure to use...

    I'm not so sure about CarPro Eraser...

    I have been wondering for quite some time about paint "softness" or hardness", and what makes paint factually so. In other words, I don't know that it's actually density of mass that determines this parameter. I also don't know whether the paint "structure" itself (each individual molecule) is...

    The Holy Grail of Compound - M101

    Thanks, but I have an avatar... the one I use on all forums. I have to pull the Meguiar's logo out of it, as Meghan dropped the law on me some time ago. Can't keep free of the "fuzz" it seems... :doh:

    The Holy Grail of Compound - M101

    Who? Justin? I don't know her. Besides- I was at the matinee all day. How should I know which one? Ask the popcorn girl, she'll tell 'ya. What's that? You did? She's what?! Naw, something's not right, it's a frame job, see... I'm just a patsy. I'm being set up...! :dig:

    First Impression: Optimum Microfiber Polishing Pads

    I will try. I just sent this info to a friend yesterday, and recalled that you asked about final polishing with a microfiber disc. Certainly a microfiber disc can rival a foam pad in terms of finishing ability. However, I have seen what you speak of in that, on some paints it seems that no...

    First Impression: Optimum Microfiber Polishing Pads

    More from the article pertaining to keeping pads clean: WATER SPRITZING… THE NITROUS OF PAINT POLISHING? A large portion of this article touts the benefits of pad priming. However, once a pad has become excessively packed with abrasive particles and abraded paint residue, cutting power can...

    First Impression: Optimum Microfiber Polishing Pads

    Regarding clean pads, as taken from an article I wrote about Pad Priming and Supplemental Wetting Agents: A CLEAN SWEEP. Since today’s polishing technology does not allow us to eliminate abraded paint residue from the buffing liquid after each cycle, it is important to keep our pads clean...
