Flexzilla without a doubt. I loved my craftsman all rubber, with exception to the weight... decided to try a flexzilla, and cannot imagine using another hose now Sent from my Nexus 5 using AG Online

I was curious how important rotation of pad is when using a DA to apply LSP. I can only get rotation when using speed 4.5 or so on my pc. Even when using practically no pressure. From why I've read, this speed seems too powerful for LSP... I've been using ccs blue pads for application.. Sent...

Brant, I think that last shot looks great! Is that after polishing also, or just compounding. I think some carnauba wax might make it look even better too. It looks too me like you have LOTS of product on your pad, which may be slowing it a bit. Have you been cleaning the pad between section...

Brant, Im not sure if there was a problem with your post, or my computer, but the pictures arent showing up. In regards to the Rotary... yeah, its more powerful... which is why it scares me!

Thanks, James. Last night, i tried one of the other small spots i did, on the grille in the front. I sanded with 3000 dry, then 3000 wet, and compound by hand. I think im gonna try another layer of paint on there, and sanding again, I have to see what it looks like in the sun though, rather...

I recently applied touchup paint to the "door bumper" that runs the length of my g/f's Highlander. The plastic trim that is body color that runs the length of the car in the middle of the doors. I think after one more coat, the paint will be slightly higher that the rest of the car. Does...

Thanks Blue - I checked all inner and outer end caps, but didnt check the home cleaning products aisle. Then again... Chicago is notorius for never having good clearance deals at B&M stores... Im a slickdeals addict, so i know

Well, like i said, I'm still very new to this world, and some of the senior members here definitely have more valuable info than me :) . Hopefully you can get some good correction done this weekend

Weird stuff. That reminds me of my friends car when his car near an elevated train... he had shards of rusty metal all over his car.

:iagree: You can bring it by so i can see it in person too!

Brant, I might have misunderstood the original post of yours that I was replying to. I interpreted as you were going to do: - Meg 105 Comound - 3M Compound - Wax/seal (meaning 2 compounds/no polish) as opposed to: - Compound (3M or Megs - whichever works best for your car) - Polish (205 or...

Brant, To clarify, it would be a 5" backing plate with 5.5" pads... but maybe having the paint properly prepped by claying will allow your 6.5 pads to work well. Also, I believe 3m rubbing compound would basically be compounding again. I believe you should be using 3m polishing compound... just...

Didn't realize it was your first. Welcome to the community!

I've checked out 4 target stores in my area, and couldnt find any. Are the sprays that are in the "Home" section at the endcaps with regular clearance stuff, or mixed in the aisles??? I've checked every endcap in each of the stores with no luck.

Wow. I'd wish I could say I was surprised... but dealerships never surprise me.

Brant, I'll have to look up the baggy test and give it a shot. Here is Mike's youtube video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml434m7ILNA What kind of compound are you using? - Since I'm still new, I use Meg's Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish combo. It lasts a long time when...

I think I know what you mean with the dish plate. I know with my PC7424XP, it would not be able to handle 6.5" pads and maintain speed... not sure about the GG. Like the others said, clay barring is very important. If you arent claying, you are going to be putting a bunch of swirls into your...

evob: In adddition to what Kingston asked: - What speed are you using? Try the highest speed setting - Did you put a tic mark on the backing plate so you know it is still rotating at a decent speed while compounding? (when i first started, i wasnt holding the pad flat enough, and it would cause...
