    Sony 5r review

    I would have made the jump up, but for another $150 or so, it just wasn't worth it to me. I'm gonna be taking this on vacations and things like that, but mostly my business. So I wanted something lighter that also could hang with all of the entry DSLR's. This camera has I believe 6 lenses...

    Sony 5r review

    Hey everyone, so because I am starting a business doing car detailing I figured I would go out and get a camera. I thought long and hard and my choices came down to the Sony 5r or the Sony a3000. The 5r was originally $750 but was dropped down to $449 and the a3000 was $399. Long story short I...

    Buffing out a 96' Camaro

    I've been using the microfiber cutting pads with the compound made for them. I also have some megs foam pads as well as lake country pads and I normally use those with megs m205 and m105. Normally I do some of the more heavy cutting with the microfiber cutting pads and then I switch to foam pads.

    Buffing out a 96' Camaro

    Hey everyone, my little brother just got his first car. It's a 96' Camaro RS. It has some pretty bad clear coat failure in some places and some really bad oxidation in others. I think I can get the oxidation out with relative ease. However I did have a question, the front and rear bumper have...

    Metro Vac and blow question

    Wow, I didn't realize the paper bags held that much stuff. I was just going to get a couple reusable ones so I wouldn't have to keep buying paper bags. But sounds like I may not need them. Thanks I appreciate it.

    What kind of Camera do you use?

    I'm looking at getting a sony 5R. It's nice because it's fairly small and light weight compared to your standard DSLR cameras. But it has the same sensor size so quality wise it's going to be similar to something like a D3100, D3200, Rebel T3i, etc. The only downside is that it's fairly...

    I had a quick question on the full size metro vac and blow. Is there a reusable bag for it? The one that I see on auto geek says it only works with the stainless vac and the portable vac.

    Reviews please on Liquid Glass Auto Polish/Finish

    I myself love liquid glass. It is really good stuff. Is there better stuff out there, of course. But liquid glass is a really really good product. From my experience it adds some good depth to the paint and really makes it pop. I would say if you are trying out new products, give this one a try.

    Griots vs Flex

    That makes sense, I really appreciate it. Do you have a preference in pads? This will be the first polisher I have used that will take foam pads lol. I have heard good things about lake country pads, are they kind of the "norm"?

    What should I look for in a generator?

    Yea, I wouldn't use it if I could use a customers power. But for those occasions when I go to do a job that has no power, I think it would be nice to have for sure. Just wasn't really all that sure how many watts I would need or anything like that. Thanks for the help
