    How do I convince customers to wax their cars with “Teflon” on them

    You don't. If they paid money for a coating from the dealership they may have gotten a 'warranty'. Putting wax on may void the warranty, so it's best to just let them dictate what's best for their car. Derrick

    Help! OPC stained my leather!

    That's what I thought. When cleaning leather use a white towel to do a test spot . If you see the leather's color coming off and going onto the towel, you may be removing the leather's color, otherwise it's usually just grime and dirt. Derrick

    Dynabrade random orbital polisher kit

    Hi Shiny, I don't advise using the dynabrade attachment with the Flex 3403. It's not really made to handle that amount of weight. Get a cheap "full size" buffer that can go at least 3000 rpm for the dynabrade attachment and use the 3403 as a rotary only, and you'll be happy. Derrick

    Dynabrade random orbital polisher kit

    You can unscrew the 8 inch backing pad off and screw on the 6 inch backing plate. Should take no more than 2 minutes to complete the job. That's a good price for that unit. Derrick

    Motor Guard SD-1 Spin Doctor Buffing Pad Cleaner

    They are not really flexible. While the rotary pad is spinning the spinner rotates to knock the used polish off the pad. My problem is I sometimes stuff the tool at the bottom of my bag and the weigh from the products that's on top will snap a blade or two off making the tool unable to...

    Motor Guard SD-1 Spin Doctor Buffing Pad Cleaner

    Mike, It only works with a rotary but it might work with a flex 3401. It depends on how fast the pad full rotates. I'm not totally positive about the the Flex though. Derrick

    Motor Guard SD-1 Spin Doctor Buffing Pad Cleaner

    I have one and it works well. The only problem I have is the spinning rubber blades keep breaking when I put it in my bag. The good news is the company will sell you a replacement spinner for a reasonable cost which makes it a good tool. Derrick

    Hello Bullitt AK. I wrote an article about this a year ago. Hopefully it will answer your questions. Here it is: The Dangers of Detailing! As far as I know, there is no lead in domestic or imported automotive paint, but it might sneak in from some new car maker who don't watch their...

    What else with flex/edge adapter?

    I think 3M seems to be very committed to them. They have their pads with the Edge system plus the original Edge pads are still being sold. Derrick
