    Pictures: 2020 September 3-Day Detailing Bootcamp Class

    I notice on the 1951 Chevy there is some chipping and rust on the corner of the hood, as well and what looks like blistering and rust bleeding on one of the doors. I've never polished a vehicle with these issues and wonder what you do around those spots? Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Bumper Trim / Door handle issue

    Automotive Masking Tape was used. Don't think that was it as I've used the same stuff before. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Bumper Trim / Door handle issue

    Thanks for your response. The trim was fine before this last polish and I've used several different products over the years. Trim has been regularly treated since new. This is what has me so confused. There's also trim I treated this last go around and it still looks excellent. You can see...

    Bumper Trim / Door handle issue

    Hi. I did a full correction/coating on my truck a couple weeks ago and also cleaned and treated the bumpers/door handles etc. The plastics looked great beforehand and has been treated regularly since 2016. I did maintenance wash today and the door handles and rear bumper trim now look like...

    Washing with Microfibers?

    I had a black Nissan frontier and I swear the paint would Mar if I looked at it sideways. It was the softest most brutal paint ever. Even the most expensive MFs would induce marks. It was painful. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Review: Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Ceramic Coating Pro

    I actually bought some "cheaper" MFs for my coating and just set them to the side to use around the garage for other things. Just kills me to have brand new towels and only one use. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    Review: Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Ceramic Coating Pro

    I've often wondered if people reuse MFs that were used to buff ceramic coating? I noticed when I installed a ceramic coating on my truck that the applicator got rock hard as it dried. It only makes sense that the MFs used to wipe during install would end up the same and then potentially...

    I use a lot of fluid film around an also Krown Rust Control. Optimum Power Clean destroys the stuff just for future info if you find your brushes greasy again... Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    What will your next ride be?

    Whatever my mechanic recommends! Most of todays vehicles are garbage and I will ask him which make and model he sees the least of at his shop. I live in an incredibly harsh and salty climate.... I did this before my wife bought her last new car. He recommended 2012 Honda civic. 9 years...

    The Beast: Thoughts on old vs. new

    I was using Lake County 6.5" flat pads with the hole. Still found it walked on me. But I'm also a rookie. Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    The Beast: Thoughts on old vs. new

    Hahaha I read it as having been discontinued, and looking online they are not in stock anywhere in Canada that I can find. New one or old..... So even though they may not yet be discontinued, finding a new one to order in Canada right now won't be easy.... Sent from my VOG-L04 using Tapatalk

    The Beast: Thoughts on old vs. new

    Sorry! The statement was "If yes, get the BEAST first. FLEX is going to discontinue it. So get one, get two - get em while you can. Ask yourself, When is the last time a saw someone selling their FLEX 3401?" I interpreted that to mean the machine is discontinued....not that it will be...

    The Beast: Thoughts on old vs. new

    What swayed my decision in the end was Mike saying get the old one now or never as they are discontinued. It also helped that I found a used one and got it at a decent price. I figure if I ever want the updated version I can buy it and sell the old one for what I paid! It's an amazing...

    The Beast: Thoughts on old vs. new

    I actually just kind of went through the same dilemma.... My backing plate exploded on my PCXP and I absolutely had to bang out my truck. Desperate for anything I saw a used flex online in my area. Did a bunch of checking online and there's actually a post on here somewhere from Mike saying...

    I'm back...with MORE POWER

    Thanks for the tip! I'm getting used to it now but I've never worked with 6.5" pads either so it's an adjustment. I already ordered the 4- 3/8" backing plate for the Flex, and I have the Griots 3" DA for tight spots. I also have a Bissell machine for interior. I may keep the PC for now as a...

    I'm back...with MORE POWER

    Thanks. The PCXP7424 will be leaving me I think! Its a very niche product where I live and I was shocked to see it for sale. And he knew the value of it because there were none in stock at any detail shops in my country and he was pretty firm on price. I saved a couple hundred dollars over...
