What a thought and research provoking question. I did both. The cost of each product makes you think twice before ordering just to do testing and testing can go on forever due to infinite variables involved. Let’s get some starting parameters with just a few facts. I guess I would ask, what are...

You can’t go wrong if you listen to BobbyG. Another option would be the Wolfgang twins. Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0, car polish, polishing compound Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0, Wolfgang finishing polish, polising glaze, machine glaze Finished off with... Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint...

I hope you didn’t through them out. They will last only 20 to 30 full corrections and your warranty will surely be up by then. Replacing brushes in an electric motor is very common (unless it’s brushless) and easy to do. When I ran into trouble with my machine, I was in the middle of a...

Maybe what they are really trying to say is... This from Wikipedia Silicones are inert, synthetic compounds with a variety of forms and uses. Typically heat-resistant and rubber-like, they are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medical applications, cookware, and insulation. Silicones...

From Permanon advertisement… Permanon coatings utilize waterborne nano-engineered particles of Silicium (14Si) that form an electrostatic bond with the surface being protected. Permanon is the pioneer of such advanced Silicium (14Si) technology and for that reason Permanon coatings will outlast...

This happened to me as well. I thought maybe I needed to replace the brushes so I did using the set provided in the box. While I was doing so I noticed an insulated wire connector running over a bare copper piece of frame. It had worn through the insulation causing a short. I simple wrapped it...

My intent has never been to argue, only to provoke deeper thought and good discussions. I agree that paint correction is an art but without understanding why things are what they are it becomes a black art. When I started machining metal way back when, it was done primarily by manual machines...

On my short ride to Connecticut today I had another thought. What about the amount of down pressure? The surface area of a 7” pad is roughly 38.485 and a 3” pad is 7.069. The 7” pad has 5.444 times the area to distribute the down force. If we exert 15lbs. of down force on the 7” pad we will...

Your math skills are fine. This formula is used in the metal machining industry on a daily bases and has been for many years. It does not matter if it is the outside diameter of the pad or the face. RPM must be calculated using a diametrical value. When the machine manufacture calibrated the...

:welcome: to Auto Geek Online.

This is very interesting stuff. I mentioned in another thread how technology is ever changing in this is a prime example. On the back of a Meguiar’s M105 bottle, the instructions for rotary applications tell us to set the RPM’s to 1500-2000. Making the assumption that we are using a 7” pad...

:welcome: to the forum Troy. Congratulations on the purchase of you new Chevy.

That’s so funny that you should do such a thing. I picked up rental 3 weeks ago to commute to and from Connecticut for a project I am working on. I was to have the rental for 2 weeks and it was filthy when I picked it up. I attempted to detail it prior to my trip but my wife said absolutely...

Let me start by saying this was a great review. You took your time to document all aspects of the test which is critical to understanding the final data. It may be in the video but I didn’t catch the year, make, model and color of the car. This helps when we do a search on forum threads for...

This from the BMW Spartanburg web site. There is defiantly a clear coat over BC:1 and BC:2. I am trying to find the clear coat used. PPG has a choice of 3. CeramiClear Clearcoat, Scratch Resistant Powder Clearcoat and Self-Healing Clearcoats and UV Cure Technologies. My bet is on the powder...
