    First paid job done

    This is a good idea, especially if it is not YOUR vehicle. There is alot someone can find out with that information. Would absolutely feel horrible if something happened to a customer, and LE traced the suspect back to getting his initial ides from seeing a plate on a site. You never know what...

    750HP NSX Full Correction: Long Write up many pics

    The NSX is bottomed out price wise. They will only go up from here. You can find a good one for in the upper 20's to 30's. NSX's are usually drivers cars and as long as you change the timing belt and water pump, you will have a very very reliable daily driver if wanted. People do use them as...

    750HP NSX Full Correction: Long Write up many pics

    The NSX Factory motor can handle additional power unlike most factory engines. That is a question that I asked. A lot of NSX owners either supercharge or Turbo Charge the motors. Yes things like Injectors, and fuel management have to be changed for things to work properly. The Transmission...

    How to properly prep paint before polish?

    Several known members have given you some solid advice. For now, skip the Iron-x. Maybe do something like AMMO Plum for your wheels though. Best Iron deposit remover for wheels yet. Clay the vehicles then do your work. Pending the aggressiveness of your swirls or if you have a dark vehicle the...

    How Thick is Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish?

    Thanks Cardaddy, That is exactly what my thoughts are. However Nick's info was good also. Really, if you are getting the 129$ Coatings, not that big of a deal to grab the Cream. That would ensure and since another member posted that plenty of vehicles can be done by one bottle, why not get it...

    How Thick is Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish?

    "If you do not use Surface Cleansing Polish before applying one of the Diamond coatings, the result will be complete failure of the coating." This has me wondering. To me this sounds like you have to buy this product, or have this product to even put on the Diamond Coating. What is in this that...

    S550 Ceramiclear Resto! Hardest Paint in the World

    The PC is very likely too underpowered for this. Testing for sure, and maybe you will get lucky. I use a Flex on Mercs and I think the forced rotation helps out a lot. The CC's on Mercs is finicky. My personal one, takes a mixture that differs between panels. Meg's MF cutting, LC Yellow, using...

    2006 BMW 750LI Full Correction Write Up

    Take a look again, Image Shack picture hosting must have been messed up when you looked. They appear for me. I want to thank you guys for all the encouragement for the work. I have done a lot, but am still learning. I know I can produce top tier work, but just don't get the feedback often. Most...

    2006 BMW 750LI Full Correction Write Up

    I do agree------- If I use a semi-permanent coating I will use 22PLE Glass Coating or Modesta Glass Coatings. I have done 2-3 cars each and really love the protection and incredible gloss of them, however in most cases they are cost prohibitive. I highly suggest one of these, but the Modesta is...

    My review of the Flex 3401 and Rupes Bigfoot polishers

    Scout, If you are just jumping in on this, couple suggestions. Buy a Porter Cable DA and after a couple panels you will realize that its a little underpowered (but capable) and on vertical panels under load it will stop rotating. (This DA makes one of the best 3" tools with the conversion, until...

    Need some help! Products leaving oily residue on paint!

    Use the AIO with the PC DA, using the lightest polishing pad you have. (White). Then you can apply the Sealant with the DA if you want to, using a Red or Black pad. If not then by hand. Some Sealants vary, and I am not familiar with the Klasse. Apply several coats as it is layerable. You might...

    Need some help! Products leaving oily residue on paint!

    Pick a Synthetic Sealant to apply which will last approximately 4-5 months. A Carnuba will likely only last 3-4 weeks pending temps and washings. Blackfire, Pinnacle, just some choices. That is your best bet. A Carnuba can be applied on top of a Sealant which will add to the gloss. DO a IPA...

    Flex and PC

    The Rupes is likely to be pricey, just my opinion. For the nominal price of a PC, that would have been my choice for a 3" option. I did get the GG 3" and now wish I didn't. Great handy little machine and helps is all kinds of places, which is why I bought it, but after ready the failures and...

    My review of the Flex 3401 and Rupes Bigfoot polishers

    I have the Flex, and yes IT CAN burn through the CC. Dumb, stupid, idiotic mistake, but was attempting to polish out several deep swirls and a RID on the 4" top panel on a Merc trunk lid. The part right below the LIP and the chrome strip. This was a section I could not get out using just half...

    Migliore on Prowler

    Hamlyn, Absolutely great research skills and it appears you hit on most or all the top end mainstream products, and chose the best out of each group and didn't stay within just one manufacturer. Kudos on learning the DA Polishing process and technique and what to use and how to use it. The...

    Hey Larry, Could you tell me if the Jewlers Polish has any abrasives in it. Is it a glaze with a little abrasives or more like a light swirl remover.
