    Optimum car care product "make-ups"

    The format of the MSDS is changing and all US companies must be in compliance by some time next year (not sure of the exact month). The US and EU sheets will look very much the same after the change over, and the MSDS will be dropped. SDS (Safety Data Sheet) will be the new name for the document...

    Up Close & Personal: Rupes LHR 75E Mini Random Orbital Polisher

    I know it may be difficult to tell from a picture, but there doesn't appear to be much change with the second step. Can the Rupes Zephir Gloss Coarse Gel Compound be used as a single step with the blue pad? Did the Rupes Microfiber Finishing Pad and Rupes Keramik Gloss Polish make a noticable...

    Rupes Microfiber Cutting Disc with Rupes Zephir Gloss Coarse Gel Compound

    Would the same hold for the yellow and white pads? There are times I'd like to polish out a small area as a touch up, but I feel like I'm wasting polish because I use so much to prime the pad and only a few drops for the polish area. I tend then to wait until there is a more area to do on mine...

    Rupes Microfiber Cutting Disc with Rupes Zephir Gloss Coarse Gel Compound

    It doesn't look like the blue foam pad was fully primed? Is fully priming the pad less important or not needed on this coarse pad or Rupes pads in general?

    Meguairs D103 APC+

    Can this product be safely used on paint, such as door jambs, overspray while cleaning wheel wells, exterior trim and exposed painted surfaces under the hood when mixed at 10:1? If not, is it safe on clear coated wheels?

    Chinese Acquire Flex Tools

    I've worked with German manufacturers on some specialized products for projects around the world. I went into it thinking and believing in the German superiority in engineering and manufacturing. On the manufacturing side I found it to be mostly true. Unfortunately, we could not find anyone in...

    Rupes Pads

    I purchased a Rupes 15 and some Rupes pads, and I have a question for those familiar with the Rupes pads. How do they compare to LC pad in terms of finish and durability? The Rupes green pad are much coarser than the LC orange pads I've used before. Are they similar in cut and finish...

    Miracle Towel

    I'm not impressed with the Miracle towels, and will not be buying anymore. If I had known they were 80/20 I would not have purchased these. I hope AG updates the Microfiber Comparison Chart to get the latest specs and that the chart matches the product description page. There are other...

    Miracle Towel

    What are the actual specification for the Miracle towels? The product description says "The Miracle Towel boasts a 70/30 split weave as always.", the Microfiber Comparison Chart says 75/25, and the towels I received today have a tag that says 80/20.

    Cyclo Model 5 Polisher

    I purchased Cyclo Model 5 polisher that I received today, and I have a couple of questions. The backing plates have four plastic posts around the mounting stud. Should the backing plate be mounted until if bottoms out on the mounting nut? The four plastic posts extend to the outside of the...

    GG or Rupes DA

    I see in an earlier post you had problems with the Rupes yellow pad, how was the white pad. Did the other pads hold up? How was the finish with the Meguairs microfiber finishing pad and did it last?

    GG or Rupes DA

    I read the article, but in the end all the kinetic energy to provide the correcting ability has to come from the motor.

    GG or Rupes DA

    How can the Rupes provide so much more correction ability with only a 4 amp motor when the GG has a 7 amp and even the PCXP has a 4.2 amp? Is the Rupes that much more efficient electrically and mechanically?

    GG or Rupes DA

    Thanks I will try to find out. From every thing I found, the only differences are the different stroke lengths, which is longer on the 21, and the orbit speed, which is higher on the 15. And of course the BP size.

    GG or Rupes DA

    Why does the 21 have more grunt? I understand the longer throw can increase the speed of cutting, but the power of the electric motor on both models is 500 watts.

    GG or Rupes DA

    For those that have used the 15 and the 21, is the 15 more likely to stop spinning on curved panels and when pressure is applied?

    GG or Rupes DA

    Well I ordered the Rupes LHR15ES after I asked and received confirmation from the factory that the LHR15ES was not being discontinued. However, now I'm having second thoughts on my selection. I had picked the 15 over the 21 because I could use the 5.5" pads I have now and familiar with, plus I...
