    Carpro Hydro2 foam dilution, Am I crazy?

    I only use it premixed in a spray bottle. Not as a bucket wash. Spray panel, wipe it over with a mitt and then blast off. I only use it as a second wash on the wheels after they have been cleaned with the shampoo. I've only used it that way to wash my pickup truck like twice over the years.

    Review - CarPro Merino Wool Pad

    I'm liking the wool pad designs that have that foam interface in between when using them on a DA. I only like this type of pad on a rotary.

    Clearcut Dust

    He said that he is removing visible oxidation. You are removing a lot of dead clearcoat. It would be normal for your pads to load up quickly and cause dusting.

    Foam Pad Options for the Griots G9 Polisher

    I am finding that the LC Force pads are pretty damn good all around pads. I don't own a G9 yet but I bet they would work well.

    Did I miss any gift card sales or are they yet to come?

    You can use the discounted gift cards to purchase the tools that are usually excluded from the 15-20-25% off sales. Just need to plan your purchases ahead of time. Unfortunately its kind of hard to stock up gift cards at Xmas time.

    How Do I Clean and Protect A Roll Up Tonneau Cover?

    Duragloss has a very good tonneau cover sealant. I'm not sure about its silicone contect

    Optimum Glass Coat over pitted windshield?

    Find someone willing to go at it with cerium oxide polish, glass rayon pads and a rotary. They would at least diminish them.

    4K HDMI cable

    When its a digital signal on the cable then you just need to worry about the bandwidth and if it has enough/proper shielding. When its an analogue signal on a cable (RCA to RCA cable) then cable quality matters and is audible. (yes I understand that the digital signal is really an analogue...

    Review: Autogeek ProLock Power Cord by Mike Phillips

    Love the locking plug idea. The LED for the true ground is nice addition. How would you rate the flexibility of this cord? It is Flexzilla flexible or stiffer? Looks like it may still have memory to it from the one picture, but its probably also brand new.

    What to do with one pit on windshield that left white mark?

    You can get the material they inject into the cracks on Amazon. People try to fix their cracked smartphone screens with it. You could try to fill the pit.

    What to do with one pit on windshield that left white mark?

    Maybe the stuff they inject into impact cracks. That pit most likely is way too deep to try to polish out. Corrective polishing on glass can be a nightmare. You'll end up with a wavy spot in the glass optically.

    Gear-Driven Orbital Polisher History by Mike Phillips

    I understand what you're saying about the body length. I found myself holding onto the very back with the one hand to separate my hands as much as possible. It took awhile but I found a comfortable position where I had the machine held at about 7-8 o'clock to my body. That gave me the most...

    Yes, it was definitely built like a wood sander.

    Reset on non-coating SiO2 stand-alone or toppers?

    I think that the SiO2 spray seal would breakdown quicker over time than if you were washing with something like Hyperwash. I usually use Reset at half the recommended dilution if its not a true semi permanent coating. I don't think you are completely removing the spray seal with one wash at...

    I can remember some IROCs that had anodized aluminum body panels in the late '80's

    Turtle Wax Hybrid Spray Coating - Are the reviews misleading?

    Don't they say that the TW Ceramic AIO cleaner wax will remove it? That is by no means a compound. I thought it worked like something between fine and a fine/medium polish

    Review: BLACKFIRE Metal Sealant

    The old version of the BF Metal Sealant used to be my go to for a wheel sealant until I coated my wheels. It lasted a long time as a wheel sealant. I think it had high temp resistance. I did not know it was a metal polish though. Maybe its just a cleaner? I always polished the metal with...

    To 3k sand or not

    You would end up with a smoother paint surface using the #3000 or #5000 first knocking down the orange peel texture a bit. Does the current condition of your paint really warrant wetsanding?

    Griots g9 broken?

    I think they are incorporating a design that they used on the G8 that they are patenting. Something about the counterweight design doubling as a fan. They want to include it in the G9 design now.
