Yes.

I used Stoner Xenit Cleaner & Remover as well as Swish Facto AT30.

CDO, APC? :confused: The only acronyms I know are from the flying world. ;)

Not being the bleeding heart type, I would take someone like that and volunteer them for mine sweeping duty in some war zone...on foot. Damn, you lose more a$$holes that way. That or use them for target practice.

I didn't primarily clean the underside for a "cleaner look". I did it for two reasons: 1) although I did a thorough inspection myself prior to purchase, to confirm the condition of a fourteen year old car that I bought, 2) I am a motorcycle guy and cars are filthy things to work on. Since this...

I just got the paper version a couple of weeks ago. Not mentioned at the start of the book are what some of the icons represent. I take it the PC icon and red underlined text represents "a link" that in the paper version provides no further info; how can it? Can those of us who bought the...

Unfortunately, I do not have any "before" photos, but you can imagine what almost fifteen years of dirt and grime would look like. The engine compartment and inside of the engine lid were the usual oily dirt. Not all that bad because it does stop corrosion, but since this is a summer vehicle...

Does the Quick Connect that attaches to the garden hose (coupler on the left) seal when the other part (coupler on the right) is removed? Or does one need to install a shut-off valve before it? Thanks!

So what products do? I know the Woolite I use does not contain fabric softeners or bleach. I have a microfiber specific detergent that I also use. Its good but no better and certainly no better considering the ridiculous price ($35 for a 64 oz bottle :eek: ...and we whine about the price of a...

I use Woolite and hang dry the towels in my basement. Results? Same as when they were new.

No choice unless I want to make it a life-long career out of it. I have the exhaust headers off my motorcycle to replace a couple of seals between them and the collector and also to clean the threads of the exhaust stubs on the heads and apply fresh anti-seize compound to the compression nuts...

The buffing wheel used is a stack of cotton discs sewn together. I got it ages ago. After I posted, I found a YouTube video from Eastwood about metal buffing. Sure enough, there are as many various buffing wheels as there are polishing pads for paint. There are various polishes as well. I'll...

Polishing some chrome with a buffing wheel, the edge of the buffing wheel got black, just as it does when polishing / buffing aluminum. The black deposits on the buffing wheel tend to bond the fibers together and harden the buffing edge. What do the pros do? Is there a way to dress the contact...

Those are what many call a "true" DA polisher.

Bob, I PMed Johny and ask why as well. According to him, "Lack of power for sure. Just apply a little pressure and it will stop rotating. Feel cheap too. Not worth the price". Obviously it will have less power needed since it is driving a 3" pad. As for it not rotating, if it isn't a true...

Which one are you referring to; the Flex or the Metabo? I have the Flex XC 3401 VRG and the quality is tops. I have absolutely no regrets spending the extra cash over the Porter Cable or Griot's. As for the Metabo, its on my shopping list pending more background information on it. As for...

I'll pay the $25 and not put up with the hassle of having to send cheap polishers back and forth.

Bob, that Metabo SXE 400 is not listed on the Metabo.de (Germany) or Metabo Canada sites. Its only shown on the Metabo US site. Is it a re-badged made in China unit, or is it made in Germany? And why isn't it listed on the company's main site?

I have a 6" machine in a Flex XC 3401 VRG. I'd like to add a 3" machine for the smaller stuff. The majority of the surface is left to my Flex, so for the little bit that is left over, I can live with less power and take more time. But its not the power I am worried about, its the reliability...

Yep, found it on Amazon...$120. Thanks. :xyxthumbs: Even though I have a massive air compressor in the basement, I prefer to use electric polishers. This one will do it. I'll do a bit more research and track down a parts list. I want to make sure they didn't cheap out. Just found the parts...
