    What`s the difference between PC & Rotary??

    I started off with both and hardly any experience. If you are willing to take the risk/practice, i feel that the rotary is a lot more rewarding for most things, but they are two different machines obviously. I don't know if i could have lived w/o the PC for last step type products/glazes.

    My New Car: Chevy HHR or Pontiac Vibe

    I have a 96 toyota t100 with 220k on it, and i am still towing 1/2-3/4 ton loads over mountains with no problems. I have nothing but good things to say about tacomas. However, with that said, i am a little hesitant about the newer(>2003/4) models. Toyota in general seems to be slipping a tad...

    STEAM CLEAN machine! hey that rhymes

    I broke down and went to target for it, and it's worked great for me. If my fiancee let me get a shop vac(5+ HP), then I would have used that with a sprayer, but i have to use the one that our housemates have(wimpy 2HP). But it does it's thing, not super powerful, but plenty for mats and...

    amazing job on the engine! Just one question though, why didn't you clean the top of the inside of the hood? Is it that felt stuff?

    My New Car: Chevy HHR or Pontiac Vibe

    Also, the HHR might be more "eye catching" if you are going to advertise on the car etc.....But, as a daily driver, the vibe might be more preffered. So many choices and options, it never ends ha ha.

    My New Car: Chevy HHR or Pontiac Vibe

    My brother in law just got a used pantiac vibe, and I like it a little better than the HHR. I do not have a lot of experience with the HHR, but all the esperience with the newer vibes have been great. I can definatley see how the seats in the mazda3 could be a deal breaker. Good luck.

    Oxidation versus Haxing: the same?

    There are "two" definitions of oxidation. 1. In the organic sense, oxidation is the addition of any bonds to oxygen. Hydroxyl to ketone, the addition of a hydroxyl group, etc. Reduction is just the opposite, like isopropanol converting to propane. 2. Oxidation is the loss of electrons, this...

    I Cry Foul on Product Working Time

    jesus, do you guys spend like 3 hours buffing your car then, damn. I can not imagine spending 7 minutes in one section. What if you are doing 2-3 steps, that's a whole day, damn, y'all need a rotary.

    What to use between car washes?

    For value, i think DP4in1 is the leader. I get a nice reflective surface afterwards. I use it every 1 to 2 days depending on the weather and my free time. If it's a real light dusting and i havn't done it in a couple of days, I will use the Spray Souveran. Why, because it is the...

    Two things need clarified

    1. depends on dust/dirt level wheather or not swirls will be created. I use my QD as a wash multiple times between "washings." 2.You need to polish, probably with a machine, in order to get that really wet look.

    Poorboy PwS

    how much product are you using? Are you trying to do a large car with one pad? It sounds like either product build up or you are buffing too long. Are you out of the sun? There are a bunch of variables that lead to dusting.

    New Product- XMT 360

    same question here, I have some soft new mazda paint, and it seemed that PwS was almost too aggressive, but thank god it's pad dependant. So it sounds like i could get away with a blue/white edge pad on the PC and be fine. any more thoughts? Is it kind of pad dependant or really pad dependant?

    Any AG-ers in San Fransisco/San Jose?

    Hey, that lighthouse is a couple blocks from my house. Hope you had fun in SC, and the loons didn't get to you. The funniest SC looney Bum that i saw was when one tried to go down a very steep street in his wheelchair (laurel st, if you are familiar at all). My buddy and I are in his 510...
