Still not even finished with the the first step. What the heck is wrong with my process? My first paint polishing on my 2006 Jetta TDI. I am using Griot's polisher CCS Pads, Orange, White, and Grey Wolgang Twins, and DGPS I have polished from 10am to 6 with few breaks, and I have yet to...

I would really like to try the new pads

I have an orange 5.5 inch CCS pad, I would love to trade for your krystal vision, but I know that's not an even trade. I don't have much else I can trade though. Got any ideas?

Actually, I was the one who didn't have the money. He just likes LED flashlights :props:

I am trying to find an alternative to the Brinkmann swirl finder (for no other reason than I don't have the money to buy one) I have an awesome Dewalt XRP 18v tool set that comes with this flood light http://www.dewalt.com/tools/cordless-lighting-flashlights-dw919.aspx It is also a Xenon...

Yeah, I would LOVE to have an Air Force Blaster,but I'm not a professional and I just can't justify spending the money on it. Do you think the Metro Vac and Blo would also blow particles all over the paint?

From what others are saying above. I think, if I have a hose dedicated to blowing and a good, clean filter it sounds like I should be okay. I do like the idea of a leaf blower though. Maybe I can test the wet/dry vac by placing a dryer sheey in front of the nozzle and see if any dust is...

Thinking about buying a Rigid Wet/Dry/Blower Vac from Craigslist. Assuming the filter is fairly clean and I buy a new hose dedicated to blowing ONLY... Do you think it would be safe to blow air onto a freshly washed car? If not, do you think buying one of the stronger HEPA filters would help?

Adam, Does the IPA need to sit on the wax for any extended period of time, or wipe-on, wipe-off? Also, does it work on wax any better than sealant? or vice versa? Thx:xyxthumbs:

Sorry, I should have clarified better. I am going to polish this weekend to remove imperfections. 6 months from now, if I want to remove the old wax and sealant to simply apply a fresh coat of sealant will IPA remove old wax on it's own? Or, do I need to buy paint cleanser? I want...

I am sure, this is somewhere on the fourm,butI have searched for 30 minutes and can't find the answer. Can IPA be used to remove sealant or wax (or both) between polishes? If so, how? Does it need time to work? I am trying to save some money by not purchasing paint cleanser. Thanks

Looks Great! I am wondering why you used such an agressive pad?

BTW your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work

Thanks Mike, About how many times do you typically do OTF cleanings before it's necessary to switch to a new pad?

Hey Mike (et. all), Can you or someone post a video showing the technique for on the fly cleaning? If would also be helpful to know when to stop doing OTF cleaning and swith to a new pad. Thanks!

#1- Have you guys ever heard of anyone having to get their car re-painted after a few years of buffing? #2- I think since I am just starting I will get 2 of each type of pad and do some "on the fly" cleanings. How many OTF cleanings do you think I can do before I should switch pads? #3- I...

Hello, I am new to this forum and new to detailing. I have a few questions for the expert(s) #1 - Does using abrisive compunds and polishers to remove imperfections (similar to the "man versus machine" article) wear down your clearcoat or paint forever? I mean, I read that most enthusiasts...
