I am in the market for a corded drill. I am going to use it primarily for wheel cleaning/polishing as well as interior upholstery using the cyclo wheel. I will also use it for headlamp restorations. My 14.4 cordless doesn't have enough power to even turn the buffing wheel. I was thinking...

Mike I appreciate your input so far. How would you suggest charging for chip repair (both methods)? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

What are you guys using for your waterless washes that can be bought in bulk? I have been using DP Waterless but I am blowing through it way too quick. I will primarily use it for waterless washes and clay lubrication but I also use it for door jambs and wheels so I go through a lot of it. I...

I wanted to bump this one. Still looking for something. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Pics wouldn't really show anything. They don't go flat or sink in the middle or anything. They look the same. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Well I already have the camera, so... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

How do you guys charge for chip repair services for both options? I never know how much labor it will take or anything, plus the kit or paint has to be ordered in advance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm with you. I actually had a time or two when I forgot to take the lens cap off. I looked up photography classes from Nikon to just learn how to use it and they were several hundred dollars. I read the manual, but it was all foreign to me.

That was my thought. Would the wheels on this thing just be the standard casters?

Awesome. How do you go about setting it to A mode? The aperture the amount of light the lens lets in right? I need to look up how to focus on a single point. I wazs trying to get pictures of a rock chip repair the other day and it kept focusing on the reflection of the lights above the panel...

I have typically been using my Note 4 to get before and after photos, as well as whole car photos. I have been doing it this way because it is much easier to get uploaded to my FB page and website. I have been having some trouble lately getting good close-up shots for the paint correction before...

Has anyone out there replaced their rolling still casters with some beefier wheels? I ask because I have a Craftsman stool that works well, except the wheels get get caught on EVERYTHING. Every crack and crevice, every cord, etc. Poor design for a shoo chair IMO. I was thinking of trying to...

I don't use much pressure at all, the machine doesn't slow at all or anything, just slight pressure. I really only use pressure on scratch removal. The pads have held up well, I've had this set for about a year, doing about 2 cars a week. I've only encountered the concave center on one pad and...

Sorry, but this seems a little ridiculous. I've never heard of anyone using upwards of 20 pads on a single car. I'm not having a problem with the center sinking in, it's the entire pad. They should be able to go for longer than a minute before collapsing, especially at half speed. If this is the...

That makes sense. I will usually use about 3-4 pads per vehicle depending on how dirty they get or how saturated. 1 for the hood and roof and parts of the front and rear cover, 1 for each side, and 1 extra every now and then. I guess it's frustrating because I can only do real correction for...

Thanks Mike! I was wondering this as well. Is the step two product just glorified mineral spirits? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Gotcha. I should add I have also tried a couple of cheap LED's I picked up at Lowes for my son to play with. In my frustration the other day I seriously thought about bringing my 18 million candlewatt Cyclops light to my shop. (Oh, no swirls huh? What about now?) - my thoughts. I have looked...

I currently use the LC CCS 5.5 inch pads and 3 inch pads on my GG 6". I am having some issues with them that I wanted to get some feedback and find out if the issues are normal. I typically will run my GG at a speed of 4 or 4.5 for general polishing and compounding. I rarely have to go at the 5...

I'll start off by saying that I have read several of the swirl finder light threads and haven't quite found what I am looking for. I have a few questions about the whole process. I have a 1,500 square foot shop with several 8' fluorescent lights. I am looking for a lighting source to really help...

I have been using 3 inch pads on my 6 inch GG for the smaller areas. Obviously this isn't ideal, so I am looking for a separate small polisher. I have it pretty much narrowed down to the PE8 but I know that it's a rotary vs orbital. I have never used a rotary and have never had the need for one...
