Hi Folks, I'm just finishing 2 stages on a car that wasn't great but is now looking pretty good :-) I'm planning to finish with Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant BUT I'm wondering a few things and I'd be grateful for any thoughts: 1) Given the amount of work I've put in, would I be better...

Thanks… I think the problem is that my test spot didn’t tell me anything because of the fillers in the product. Not all in one next time perhaps….

I’m extremely grateful for you all taking time to help, thank you! I think next time I may steer away from the all in one and instead do a 3 stage process with cut, polish and then finish. Does anyone have any thoughts about using the Rupes fine polish (yellow) on a wool pad in terms of...

Thanks folks, I appreciate it very much! Reassuring to know that's to be expected with wool... I think it was worse on the nearside but I probably did apply more pressure there cos that's where my wife drives in the hedge :xyxthumbs:

Thanks Texchappy - it does look great... and I'm very happy. The thing is I'm trying to learn and if I did a friend's car or family member, I would hate for me to finish an then problems become apparent two weeks later :/] I just don't know how to tell or if the reason I can't tell is because...

Hi folks, OK - I did as Mike said and used yellow foam pad and Uno Protect and re-did the car. Now it looks stunning again but how can I be sure it won't go back to how it was when the Uno wears off? I tried using CarPro Eraser to remove the uno on a test area but it didn't seem to make any...

That’s really helpful, thanks Mike! Top man, have a great day ����

Thank you very much everyone and thanks Mike for your thorough reply! I used a Bigfoot 15 RO but I followed the quick detail Rupes advise here: Express Enhancement - [RUPES Replies Season 02 Episode 08] - YouTube I guess wool pads were too aggressive but there was no way I could see the...

Hello Mike, Thank you very much everyone for your help. I used the Bigfoot RO and to be honest, I chose the yellow wool based on a Rupes YouTube video that recommended it could be used as a single stage quick detail (Express Enhancement - [RUPES Replies Season 02 Episode 08] - YouTube)… I did...

Hello, I'd be very grateful for any advice please - I'm a novice and wanted to polish out some minor scratches from my wife's car. I used Uno Protect and a yellow wool pad and when I finished, it looked stunning! but now - a few weeks later - I can see pad marks!!! Could someone help me...

Thanks Mike, that’s very helpful indeed - it’s awesome to get input from experienced people that have used kit before you buy! I’ll look at those options... having some cordless tool would be really good :-) is the flex OK for a novice - if it’s gear driven like the other flex’s, just worried a...

That’s interesting, thanks dgage- I hadn’t looked at cordless but I’m in the process of switching my power tools for cordless and loving the freedom of cordless angle grinders and circular saws. I didn’t know polishers had advanced as much in cordless tech but I’ll take a look.

Hi folks, Does anyone have any experience with the new UDOS? I’m a noob setting my stuff up so starting from scratch. Cost-wise there’s not much between buying 2 Rupes or 1 UDOS but the main question is which would be the best choice (for a beginner but wanting tools that won’t have to be...

Thank you very much - I hadn’t realised there was a duty cycle and that you can’t just expect a smaller one to run longer... interesting!

Hey! Thanks... not looked at two stage but I’ll do so now - from what you say, maybe it’s what I should be looking at.

Thanks mc2hill! Truth is I don’t rally know now but I don’t want to be caught out in a years time. I imagine I’ll be blowing out the crud, pumping tyres, probs removing/replacing wheels with an impact wrench (or similar) etc. From what I’ve seen, not much point in a newbie using air polishers...

Hi folks, I'm new here and a relative novice! I'm in the process of building out my workshop and I'd really appreciate some advice if anyone has a minute please :-) I see loads of pro detailers have huge compressors with dryers and filters running at 20CFM+ and 150psi with 200l tanks. Many of...
