Not sure but your animation has me hypnotized. I keep watching to see how many guys will walk up and kick the last guy.:wow: Craig

This could be way off base but have you or anyone else covered your car with clear plastic sheeting? Like maybe you were parked near a building that was being painted. Clear plastic is like a magnifier in the sun. The pattern is not fluid like you would see from water or chemical stains. Can you...

I keep 3-4 pads in rotation so I don't have to stop as often but we all need a break from time to time. The towel trick works good but if you change your pad after each panel you won’t need it. Craig

Plan sounds solid. Please read this thread. [URL="http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/wool-foam-buffing-pads/58637-foam-pad-failure-2.html"]

Pack mine with CASH please.

Using the correct size pad for the job is key as Mike would tell us but this is not always possible as we all know. The hook and loop system allows some freedom of movement. (Think of wearing your boots loosely laced on a 10 mile hike. You will surely have blisters.) The forced rotation of the...

Here is what I discover over the last 6 months. If I don’t keep a fresh pad (about 1 per panel) the product builds up. That is to say, the moisture content, keeping in mind that the products we use are water based. On small surfaces where the pad does not come in full contact, rotation stops (or...

The end must be near. I have to drive 400 miles to visit the in-laws today. Any chance the end will occur prior to my arrival? “NOT A CHANCE” I’m sure I will have to endure at least 2 hours of mind numbing pointless small talk and the kids will suffer endless cheek pinching from extended family...

Okay, the job is done. The customer picked up the car last night and was very impressed with the results. I did not use a rotary as I had indicated earlier but that’s because the customer purchased the Flex 3401 for me as payment for the job. (I will not do another cut and buff without a...

I am in the middle on correcting my father’s 2006 Buick Lucerne. It has the flip flop shark skin paint and is very cool when correct. He repeatedly runs it through the car wash and is pretty messed up. The correction is coming out nice but my fear is that in 6 months it will be in the same...

Well that settles it. Rotary it is. I will start my research tonight after I pick up a junk fender or 3 on my way home. Thanks for all your help guys. The last thing I want to do is make a mistake. I know one thing for sure, A great Detailer can make a bad paint job look great but a bad Detailer...

Mike, I read a thread recently where you suggested stepping to forced rotation DA before graduating to a rotary and to me that makes sense. I will read the review you suggested but it sounds like I need to pay more attention to my surface prep by finishing out with the 3M 5000. That being said...

As BobbyG (G is for genius) would say, it is time to step up my game. I am currently working on a black 2001 BMW 325i. Over the years the car has been repaired several times. The only place I can find that has not been touched up in the trunk lid. The repairs aren’t terrible with the exception...

Tell my wife that.

And the toilet?

Adn the toilet?

So now that the cold weather has hit, my wife is taking full advantage of a customer’s car not being in the garage. The honey-do list continues to grow and one of the major items was to detail the master bath. About an hour into it, I reached the cultured marble counter top. :wow: this looked...

BobbyG was spot on about the WG swirl remover. I had to hit the tail lights and pillars twice with it followed by the WG glaze and they came out perfect. The G must stand for Genius. While I was removing the WG sealant from the car, I think I saw some very light holograms on the right side...
