    Pads Leaving Swirl Marks

    Sorry no pictures. It was similar to pig tails. completely random with the oscillation of the pad. It was the typically haze or marring from a yellow pad it looked like i had used some sort of sand paper. Sorry for not clarifying that. Lake Country CCS

    Pads Leaving Swirl Marks

    ok, so the other day working on a car I sanded, and buffed it with my rotary and the finished looked great but there were some swirls so i got out my DA with a yellow pad and some 105 to cut them down. I did a section and wiped it clean to find that the DA left a terrible hazing effect of little...

    My pad cleaner

    you do know that the likely hood of splashed water actually causing a problem is pretty low. It can happen, but the chances of it causing it to show him is very low. if anything it will just short out the tool. i wouldn't be terribly afraid of it, then again i've been laid out by a welder...

    Headlight restoration website review

    Led headlight? you mean Xenon's? or HID? you could go with a 5000kelvin or so white scale color. i forget the pantone for it. I dont know that it will stand apart, especially on most monitors. Im on 30" professional monitors. most monitors especially laptops will not display colors as...

    Opinions on the best sealant

    Klasse AIO works great, easy on and Off. I use this after polishing sometimes with a Gray CCS. most commonly i use a Klass HG Sealant with a blue CCS. Two coats of this stuff look phenomenal. I use it on all my cars and families cars. They have said time and time again how impressive the shine...

    Headlight restoration website review

    too much white on the page as it is. you need to separate the company name and branding from simple text. the page is very contrasty and difficult to look at. The graphic elements do not guide you though the content. I simply picked a color to show how much better the header stands out having...

    Headlight restoration website review

    Its looks pretty Good. It could be spiced up a bit. here is a quick sample of some thoughts. using a different color behind the did you know box separates it from the rest of the page making the page seem less chaotic. dont use serif and sans-serif typeface on the same pages for text.

    Need a good tire dressing

    i have used Megs All Season Dressing, it did an ok job, it actually made the tire look clean and uniform, but not shiny. just black. I used Stoner's Tire spray and ive had decent results with that. I wonder if a second coat of All season would have worked better. the Stoners is very shiny.

    How-To capture swirls, scratches, etchings and other surface defects with your camera

    You Speak the truth my man. lighting for taking pictures of detailed cars is extremely difficult. On this forum we are just trying to show details of the finish but to capture the entire car its a much different process. I've had the opportunity to work with one of the automotive industries...
