I got my hands full this weekend with a 91 Cadillac Brougham (Lowrider). The car has painted pin stripes that go over the clear coat that the owner wants removed. What is the easiest (clear coat safe) option to remove the pinstripes? The car does have some areas on the hood were the clear coat...

Had a similar situation with my flex few weeks back. Funny part is I started a thread asking for recommendations for a back up polisher, just in case the flex goes out. Sure enough the flex stops working on the next job. 4 year old flex and out of warranty. Shipped it to powerhouse tools...

Thanks. I'm now planning on doing half the trunk with the left over coating and the 2nd half with just powerlock or powerlock/colinite combo just to see the difference over time on my personal car. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

How many cars can be coated with the Gyeon Syncro kit? GYEON Q2 Syncro includes: •50 ml. GYEON Q2 Mohs •30 ml. GYEON Q2 Skin The car it will be going on is a 08 Mercedes S550 and I plan on going with the recommended 2 coats of Mohs and single coat of Skin. Thank you. Sent from my SM-G930V...

Thanks Mike, I read about Ceramiclear on here when I first started getting into detailing. It's the first things I check for on any Mercedes that I've detailed or anyone that's inquired about having there car detailed. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'm going to do it this weekend. I'll see if the clay alone helps out but more then likely I will be polishing after claying. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That was or still is the plan, but then I came across products like 3D eraser or Optium MDR and figured maybe I can use that to avoid having to remove any clear. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'm kind of stuck and can't make up my mind. The car in question is a 14 black Mercedes. Paint was corrected 5 months ago, the hood roof and trunk now have beaded water spots from what I'm assuming is rain since there is no spotting on both sides. Would you go out and buy 3D eraser or any...

Thanks for the replies. I searched through all the reviews and Q&A section on Home Depots site last night. It turns out the Ridgid Detailing kit (1.5") won't work with the older Ridgid Vac I have. They do make the same hose in 1 7/8" it just doesn't include the extra attachments. I ended up...

I have a Ridgid 4050 for about 8 years now and still using the hose that came with it. Between the cord length and hose length, I always find my self stretching to the max distance from the outlet to get the job done. It's worked around the issue all this time but the time to upgrade is overdue...

Yes. I'm not sure why he didn't have it on. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

This one was fun. I wish I could of taken some pictures with the badges on but the owner took the screws with him. Steps: IronX Rinse and foam Clay with nano skin wash mit Clayed again with meguiars pro fine bar Flex 3401 Wolfgang Uber compound CCS Orange and Yellow cut pads Menzerna...

Sorry I replied to your other post before seeing this. I look into both PC and GG, they both seem to be priced the same Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

My experience is only with the flex. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to replace the flex. My intention here was to see what 3401 owners use as a secondary option. If I was a full time detailer, I can see having a back up 3401 as being a great idea but for someone like me who's...

I like this option, the 4" option can be helpful. Is the GG6 capable of accepting smaller pads? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I guess I was leaning twords a machine along with the flex that can be used on a single job. Maybe something the performs better then a 3401 in certain situations and capable to finish a complete job in the rare case the flex gives. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Looking for a polisher to compliment my Flex 3401, a good 1 2 punch. Recently I started to take on jobs from people who friends and family have referred and want to deliver the best results. Also if for whatever reason the flex goes out mid way, nice to have something to fall back on. 2 is 1...

Thanks everyone, a lot of good options. I think I'm going to pick up the smaller bottles from the compounds mentioned. My parents have a black Infiniti that has seen nothing but a drive thru car wash for the past 3 years, should make for good spots to test on. My issue with the FG400 is that...

Looking to restock on some products and wanted to hear some recommendations. I currently need compound, polish and good all-around degreaser. My polisher set up at the moment is Flex 3401 and Lake Country CCS pads and few Hybrid flat pads. As for compound, I’ve used Menzerna FG 400 and HD...
