    I'm a huge BF fan, love all of their products. Up till now I haven't tried the sealant wax since I have a lot of Midnight Sun sitting on the shelf....looks like it's time to add another new product to the inventory.

    Advice for a noob

    In theory, yes, in practice, maybe. There is no way of knowing if your plan will work until you conduct a test spot. As I'm sure you have heard/read many times, go with the least aggressive method required. Maybe you can get away with the SSR 1 w/white pad, maybe SSR 1 w/orange pad, maybe the...

    Car lift

    Not yet, but one will be going into my new garage. The one you show in the example is nice, but unfortunately, it doesn't have enough capacity. Although I don't necessarily need it to get to rocker panels on trucks, I will also want to use it for maintenance such as oil changes and tire...

    Rv detailing

    You guys provide some great info, the websites are outstanding, and the info you provided to me through PMs was much appreciated. I'll be doing my first RV detail in the spring (mine), unfortunately the owner is cheap and underpays. The knowledge gained may just lead to a new venture.

    Anyone use the 7424xp with 4" pads?

    I have the exact set up as you are thinking about. I use my Flex 3401 with 5"- 6.5" pads and have my PC set up with 4". It works great for the few areas that I use it for such as mirrors and A pillars and bumpers. Personally, I'm very satisfied with the results and ease of correction for...

    Starting up a mobile detailing business...

    Wow, digging up some old threads, would probably have been better to ask your question on a new thread so people can respond directly to you. You will get more/better answers. Many people look at the OP and don't always see the embedded questions from other posts. As for how much to make a...

    Help!!! Gallon of paint spilled inside the Car!

    +1 My biggest concern is how deep has the paint penetrated? If it has soaked into the pad underneath it could continue to bleed back through for a very long time after you clean it. Most automotive padding/sound deadener is water resistant, not water proof. If the paint has gotten into the...

    Risk vs reward

    IMO, the worst part is when the edges start to lift a little and dirt and debris get trapped under them. I've seen so many that are like that. The biggest benefits I see from them, road rash on the front bumper is greatly reduces as well as fingernail scratches under door hadles. Another...

    Looking for a little input for interior detailing/care.

    Good Question, a little more info would really help us out. Of course, in general a decent APC (all purpose cleaner) will clean most of the items in your interior. You will get suggestions for everything from Fantastic/409 to Simple Green, to APC products from dedicated companies such as...

    Free gift with 25% off, but i forgot something.

    AGO customer service is awesome and will take care of you (probably already have). I once forgot to add my free sample, I contacted CS, the order had already shipped, they told me to add two to my next order. I did and they honored it, no problem.

    New Flex XC 3401 Owner … needs a little expert advice

    Here's a couple pics I did of my wife's camaro recently using my Flex 3401 and LC CCS 6.5" pads (pink, white, red) and BF Wet Ice Over Fire kit. As you can see, a lot can be done with 6.5" pads, the 5" or 5.5" are just a little bit easier to use. BTW, the orange pads that Mike recommended are...

    New Flex XC 3401 Owner … needs a little expert advice

    Wow, I was going to provide some info, but Mike pretty much hit everything for you. The only thing I would add/point out, if you decide to go with a product other than WG, such as BF Pinnacle, DP...with the range of cars you are dealing with, I would be sure to get a compound, polish, sealant...

    Grit guard filter

    Yes Patent is what I meant, that's what I get for being in a hurry and typing a response while trying to watch a football game. The main point I was trying to make is that the OP has a good/great idea of just one more method/security step to keep dirt from entering back into the washing cycle...

    Grit guard filter

    The design of the grit guard is supposed to keep the water from swirling and therefore keep the dirt in the bottom. Although I think the design is great and works better than nothing at all, I think this idea will only improve upon a great concept. Anything at all to help keep dirt/grit away...

    Applying/Buffing Carnuba with Flex XC 3401?

    I've applied with my Flex before, but prefer to apply wax with my PC and 4" pads. The process is the same way, tap on the bottom of the container, the wax will usually drop out, then just rub the wax across the pad to put the wax on it. I don't like removing with the DA so I always wipe off...
