    Microfiber fell on cement. Can I still use them?

    I was carrying my microfiber when a wind blew some of them off the top of the pile. They landed on the driveway. Can I wash these real good and use them again, or are they like clay and they are done for?

The pc shakes my hands to death and I often have to go back and correct some spots due to the pad stopping and not recognizing that. I am looking at the Rupes 15, Megs MT300 and Flex 3401.

    Can you use rinseless wash towels to remove wax?

    I have some cobra microfiber towels that I use for rinseless washes. I don't have a big collection of towels so I would like them to do double duty. If I wash them in the washing machine, could I later use the same towels to remove wax?

    Simple question, will OCW hide some small swirl or scratch? I have an old Datsun 510 with thin paint and cannot afford to polish away any more.

    Microfiber hand test??

    I think the hand test comes from "Junkman2000" on youtube. At least that was the first I have heard of the "hand test."

    D155 vs M34

    I was wondering what some differences were between D155 and M34. I just finished a barrel of FK425 and want to try something new. I would use the product as a QD and a drying aid.

    Do you need aggressive abrasives to remove holograms.

    I am positive that they are rotary induced holograms. Only at certain angles in the right light do you see them, and they sweep across the whole panel.

    Do you need aggressive abrasives to remove holograms.

    Can I use cheap microfiber with ONR?

    Ban of BBC Top Gear in the U.S ?

    It's not like the president has the authority to decide what can or cannot be shown on TV. Even if he wanted to stop the show from airing he couldn't. It's kind of a joke what passes for a "news article" nowadays.

    How fast should the DA spin when polising?

    It is a molten orange Ford. I don't think I am dry buffing as I can still see a residue when I go to wipe the paint.

    How fast should the DA spin when polising?

    When using a one step polish/finish like 2500, how fast should the DA spin? I put a black mark on it to see it's speed, but I am not too sure what I am looking for. I was watching the videos by Mike and it looks like it is spinning very slow (1 turn/min). This seems like it is too slow to do any...
