is the 150mm (5.9in) measured as the size facing the backing plate or facing the car? if it's the size of backing plate, it probably is too large for a 5inch DA?

I've been using Meg's microfiber cutting pads for the past few years. Meg's system has been working mostly fine to me (cuts well), but because they almost have no foam backing, I do find they are quite difficult for panels with any curves or contours. I am not quite up to date, but wonder if...

If you go to a shop/dealership, usually runs at least $100 per wheel depending on the existing finish. If you don't mind DIY, can effectively repair 4 wheels around $50 total (all materials included). Of cause the difficulty of DIY is dependent on how bad the rash, the type of wheels, the type...

I found I have gallons of chemical guys carpet and upholstery cleaner/shampoo (odor eliminator) laying around. I love this product but I dont do much interior work nowadays and my home does not have much carpet either. Is there a smart way to use this (high foam, no protectant) in other...

Just started using P&S brake buster. so far so good. the foaming is a bit disappointing in a spray bottle but extremely impressive in a foamer. Cleaning ability is awesome too! My question is, will this product remove/diminish any existing wheel wax/sealant/ coating and tire dressing/coating...

Endurance gel is great and I have been using it all the time. It would sling tho, so you need to be patient and let it set for at least few hours before driving the car. I normally do the tire coating as my last step and leave the car overnight, never slings this way. The durability is much...

the hydro one provides (slightly) longer working time, but it's noticeably less durable than the flat ones, due to the open cell/ close cell structure difference. I used to be a big fan of the hydro pads. the frequent frustration of pad failing finally turned me away. Now trying a bunch of...

Intrigued. anyone knows what's the dilution ratio of this booster? for example, how many oz of booster should I be adding to a regular 32oz foam cannon bottle (containing soap)

I found I have a bunch of Meguiar's D302 DA microfiber polish compound laying around. My routine is to use microfiber for heavy cut then switch foam pad for finishing polish, hence I don't have any microfiber finishing pads (which are D302 designed for). I wonder if anyone has any experience or...

nothing really solve this problem but some methods certainly alleviate. for example, some wax are more attractive to dusts and pollen. In my experience, collinite 845 attracts like crazy, but changing it to a fully synthetic sealant or coating certainly helps. also after you buff off your wax...

Hi, I am looking for an APC that foams relatively well. any recommend? I recalled that Meg D101 foams quite well, is that right? otherwise any others? alternative question, is there any foaming agent (I heard coconut oil is foaming agent?) I can add into any other APC to make it foam a little...

duragloss 105/601 combo is hands-down the most durable sealant you can buy from market. if you really follow the instructions and combo 105 with 601 perfectly you will get close to a year. I don't think any other sealant comes near to that point. some coatings, although claimed to last up to 1...

I havent had much experience with Permanon but the temperature durability is quite impressive. so does the price lol

thanks for the feedback. I would assume Dawn wash is not the problem because the carpro forum has used dawn wash prior to hydro2 application. see here: Review: CarPro Hydro2. the comments on rinsing splashes make lots of sense. Also considering replacing the OEM spray nozzle (came with hydro2...

I start to try out the carpro hydro 2 LITE. used it three times now. despite the great shine (looks really super good on dark cars, not so much on warm/light colored cars), I do have spots and streaks every time. I am pretty sure I have used it in right way, however below is my method: 1\ car...

just went through the 2nd backing plate (DA) this year. the foam facing fell off from the metal back. luckily the damage was minimal. this one (and the other one that broke down earlier this year and another two broken down last year) belongs to a pretty popular brand (also carried by autogeek)...

Hi, I have been using the duragloss 105/501/601 combo for a while. today it came across to me I never knew the actual mechanism of 601. So does anyone know what's the actual mechanism of 601? is it a cleaning reagent? or more like a cross-linking reagent. If it's cleaning, I can use it alone...

pretty much settled down on carpro. one question tho, is carpro hydro2 (or hydro2 lite) compatible with the wax/sealant is the soap (meaning: can I used a wash&wax, followed by hydro2, or should I use a wax-free wash in prior?)

Hi yes, poli-seal was my first choice, however it's been on back order for a while (except for the gallon size which is too excessive than I need). that's why I was considering GPS because it seemed as spray alternative to poli-seal. however the review on GPS is pretty mixed. so kinda want to...

Hi I tried to do a light search on good all in one products. clearly there are different definitions of all-in-ones. I am looking for an AIO that has at least certain level of correction (not just cleaning such as duragloss 501, but at least some power to polish off minor scratches/swirls) and...
