    2nd Griots Polisher Failure!?

    Good move; buy quality, buy once. I want to add a 3" polisher to my Flex and considered the Griot's, but after reading a few reviews...no thanks. The question is, who makes a quality 3 inch polisher that I can use for the small sections of paintwork?

    What type of camera are you using to document your work?

    Not only is a DSLR not necessary, but due to its size, its impossible to get into tight areas if you need to take detailed pics of some component. Yes, a Canon S95 that I bought just as it came out in 2010. I travel a lot by motorcycle, so I needed a camera that was compact and that took very...

    New 4" and 6" Backing Plates for Flex 3401

    Mike, I have a few questions. Who is Eric Dunn? Is he with Flex, or is he making aftermarket backing plates for the Flex? As often as a shop like yours would run a Flex, what kind of life are you getting from the stock backing plate? I may be a rookie, but I prefer my pad to stick out past...

    How long does it take you to detail a Motorcycle ?

    Two days to a week depending on the type of motorcycle. I'm in no rush. This type of detailing includes removal of all items such as side covers, seat, gas tank, skid plate, engine protection bars, etc. The end result is a better than showroom clean, even on the ones that I use for multi-week...

    Lets hear from our Motorcycle owners!

    Even if the poll wasn't closed, I couldn't tick off any selection as none of them really apply to me. I started riding motorcycles in 1975 and quit in 1977. Then in 1986 I got back into motorcycling and I've been at it full time since then. Over that time period, I have bought 16...
