Lots of great feedback here!! I see the pleasant atmosphere of this forum is still alive and well, and I think that's fantastic!! Thanks so far for all the posting and the waves back!! I'll mainly be spinning the 3" foam pads on a 3" pneumatic rotary buffer to do headlight lenses. I do from...

Hi everyone and a Happy Holidays to all members and staff!! It's been quite a while since I've posted to the forum. I've been working diligently to grow my Handicap accessible vehicle repair and service business, balance in a personal life, be a great dog owner, son, brother etc. etc. Doesn't...

Best bang for my buck using a DA always seems to be M-105 on a soft no cut foam pad topped by a WOWA sealant. On real soft clear, HD Speed and done.

never used the product but from general polishing experience, and from reading through the thread it sounds like too much product is a good candidate for the problem you had. I'd assume the car is done and gone now but perhaps you could try using very little (less is more) next time and post...

Just when I thought I was done buying detailing products, Carpro has to come out with everything I ever wanted all in one bottle. I'll be buying this product to test out on the rental van fleet for sure... Thanks a lot Hoytman!!!

:iagree: In my past experience with Optimum products in general (coatings and cleaners excluded) i've seen a very short shelf life. I really like the polish and compounds offered by Optimum but have had too many of them go bad on the shelf in less than a year. I've had a few bottles of their...

Thanks Bud... It has certainly been a very long absence for me. Been enjoying the the other work that the handicap accessible van world brings, utilizing my simpler detailing skills turning around rental handicap accessible vans and doing lots of mechanical work and bus recon work as well as...

I've had a syringe of the first release version of Optimum's Opti-Guard on my shelf in the shop that sat through the heat of summer and the freezing conditions of winter here in PA. I'd guess it was going on 3 years old or so. It was still liquid, and after doing the whole "try to offer a...

Welcome from the Harrisburg York area. Nice introduction thread. I haven't been around the site much lately but used to be pretty active here. Feel free to check out threads or posts by me.

This^^^ If the paint wasn't just as in "just" polished before the application of any coating you'll likely have some trace amounts of dirt that has absorbed into the matrix of the paint. Whether you see it or feel it you're applying a coating to a paint system that's not absolutely clean. Try...

Honored to be the second guy to post. Happy Birthday Matt!! Hope all is well and hope you're been getting the referrals.

72 degrees, light rain, but I'm still heading out to the trout stream. Have a good day!!!

Thanks for the replies guys. I must have been blind because there was a 10 gauge auxiliary connector sticking out of the main harness coming in exactly where i'd have preferred it to be. Connected to it with an inline fuse holder and all is good. I'll be posting photos of this conversion before...

Hi all. A little about what I'm working on. I'm currently doing a wheelchair van conversion on a 2014 Chevy Express Explorer Limited SE conversion van. My client brought me the van with 350 miles on it and asked me to gut the entire back of the van and turn it into a wheelchair van. The job is...

Wow!!! What is that a Halibut or a Flounder? Nice fish!! Thanks for pposting your catch.

Nice Bass guys!! Here's something I caught on camera last year and forgot about that is to me definitely photo worthy. Albino toad... Here are a few we caught recently. Again...this was my fish with Tony doing the photo shoot modeling...hey, he's better looking than me anyways!!

That's too damn funny...lol.. You crack me up Steve!!

Hi all you Geeks. As stated in the title, This is my fishing thread where I'll occasionally post photos of photo worthy catches. I've just recently obtained my PA fishing license and mostly fish the mighty Susquehanna river but do venture off into some of it's tributary streams from time to...

It's likely happening in the evening just before dark? The evening dew settling on a finish that's now full of surface tension from polishing and waxing. If this is the case, not sure it can be avoided. I have noticed however, that a quick drive makes it evaporate off.

They are both very nice machines. What level of production will you be engaging in? Will you be compounding boats and really bad paint on cars/trucks? Remember the Black Mustang at Detail Kitty's detail weekend? Something like that really requires the use of a rotary and wool pad as an initial...
