Here's a few things that a long throw cannot do and if one were to try it, there is substantial risk of damaging adjacent areas, these panels are more narrow that the throw of the machine.. A 3401 can be worked on the edge in these areas. I would still grab my kompakt to make things easier...

With the 3401 you can expect a workout, but you can get into almost any spot on the car. You also have a variety of pad sizes you can use. With the long throws, you will have hardly any effort. You can run a 5" backing plate on a 21mm, but it's not recommended by rupes. I've tried a smaller...

I don't think the meguiars one will do well with that method. I never tried it, but when I have used it in the past, it never liked being wiped after spraying. It was super tacky and smeared badly, ymmv.

If it took 2 years to go through a 32 oz bottle of ONR, perhaps you have enough time to wait and see how Nick's new Beta product performs, though we have no idea when it may be released. I will say Uber is probably the closest. I feel like ONR is the best all around, but Uber. Ultima and Ech2o...

There are plenty. Just not with a battery option and switching from rotary to DA. Rupes ta-50 Rupes lhr75 (arguably) Flex PE-8 3M 28363 (arguably) Many 2" pneumatics And now a dremel type device with special pads

Oh snap! Happy birthday Smack!

Setec has it nailed. First determine if the cities you will work in have an MS4 (municipal separate storm sewer system) or combined sewer (this is becoming very rare). If MS4, then determine if the city has a individual NPDES permit or a general permit (this is a permit the city holds with the...

Welcome from a neighbor in MN. What part of Wisconsin?

Count me in Nick! With winter around the corner, I'll be doing a lot more rinseless washes on my cars.

I wouldn't know about colder temps yet. It was 70F the past 2 days in Minnesota, lol.

OK, so a few photos from today on a brilliant black Audi A4. Car wash polished with HD polish+ and a number of different machines and pads. This was a workshop day for one of the local audi clubs, so application of Ech2O was by non-geeks with some instruction. Requisite Zach McGovern photo...

Out of all the new SEMA releases, this was the one that most piqued my interest. And based on some of the hype that is already out there by the folks who have tried it before release of at SEMA, I was further cautiously optimistic about the performance. I recall some specific line to the...

Undiluted on a clean, dry vehicle as a coating booster.

I don't think promotions are a way to fill days you might have open, that's a way to increase overall interest. To backfill random openings I think you are better off building a relationship with a dealer, custom builder, fleet owner or similar party. Set up a system where, when you have a...

Spray and rinse coatings have a tendency to streak if they are not rinsed off very well or if the are allowed to dry (like if you are working in the sun). Sorry to say, but it sounds like an application issue rather than an issue with the product or compatibility.

The werner work platform goes on sale at Lowes every black friday and it's always a killer deal.

That's going to need color and clear. The economical option would be to touch it up. That's a big spot to touch up and it's not going to look great. Worst case, you do the work and if you aren't happy and you sand it off again and move to the next step. If you get a rattle can of paint mix...

I think in one of the original videos Corey made he mentioned that it can be used like a traditional spray sealant, but that kinda defeats the benefit of ease of application to wheels. I actually prefer rinsing with a strong stream from a hose rather than pressure washer. I think some volume...

Are video and associated audio stored on a separate external/network drive? It's ridiculous how fast storage gets eaten up these days. Can you do the same with your personal audio and play from an external drive? Just looking for ways to avoid needing a large capacity internal drive since it...

Shoddy respray indeed. Thanks for sharing Mike. And as you eluded to, it can happen in an instant with no warning.
