I used it years ago on fresh paint. It did a remarkable job. By years ago, I mean 18 years....

Now thats a very crude term lol But seriously, I actually won $3200 at Caesars on $5 slots the last trip we made Im the MAN

I'd love to snap some pics of the Cobra, and I have the perfect place in mind.

Cars, ladies and Vegas. I was too busy to make the trip this year, my boss and some others from our corporate office went. I'll have to take about $1500 in singles when I go... :D

Here ya go: 1) SIP with 5.5" low pro orange pad 2) 106ff with 5.5" low pro white pad 3) XMT 360 with 6.5" Gray LLC All with the UDM

Nothing exotic, Armor-All original formula I've heard good and bad about what it does to rubber in the sun, but I prefer the look it produces.

Thanks, it wasn't in too bad of shape. I had already used the UDM with the XMT Intermediate system on it several weeks ago. The SIP really made short work of the daily driven swirls and light scratches and the 106 brought it home. When I bought the truck it was in desperate need of TLC...

1) SIP with 5.5" low pro orange pad 2) 106ff with 5.5" low pro white pad 3) XMT 360 with 6.5" Gray LLC It's not often I find a product that stuns me. 106ff is the bees knees and the ducks n*ts all rolled into one. :cool: Thanks again to Dan the Man for the samples.

I agree completely :cheers: Considering I just happened across AG, I'd say it was pretty long odds that Dan lives only a few blocks from the garage I use to detail my vehicles. BTW, I just placed an order for SIP, 106 and a whole mess of 5.5 inch pads that he and I are splitting. :righton:

Nice rides! buh...wha... 14/19 mpg on the BMW? My Expedition can match that :awesome:

It wouldn't hurt to experiment with one. It might help hold your wrist in the proper position. I tried them early on, but never used one afterwards.

I'll be calling you for pointers, I'm sure of it. :D

Dan gave me some very nice squeeze bottles of 106ff and SIP to try. If all goes well, I'll be giving Mehgan a call to place an order :D Thanks again Dan, your a class act.:cool:

Me too... Pretty wild night. We live south of town and weren't affected, but my buddies house got the roof taken off so we were up most of the night emptying out the upstairs and salvaging what we could.

Mike, a dry lane will make the ball hook more and sooner. The lanes are normally oiled in a crown type pattern ie: more oil in the center of the lane and less oil on the edges. If you keep the ball "inside" it will skid longer before it reacts and hooks. If you lay it down or project it to...

With a resin ball, making it hook should be relatively easy. Try releasing the ball like you were going to slide a piece of luggage down the lane, or like you were bringing your hand up to shake someones hand. Once you get used to the release you can work on "lifting" the ball to make it hook...

If the ball has a matte finish, a scotch brite pad works well. If it has a glossy surface I'd use alcohol and a microfiber towel or a polish available in the pro shop. If the lanes are dry and the ball is hooking too much you can run it a cycle in an automatic polisher to get the ball further...

If your paints been neglected, the XMT intermediate won't be enough to correct it. (I was using an orange pad.) This van had been subjected to bristle auto car washes by the original owner. My Expedition was worse. I used a 3m medium cut and wool pad on my rotary to get the Expy presentable...

Old school huh.... I guess I started out on Pre-School rap.. RUN-DMC FTW! :awesome:

I originally got the 360 to use on my wifes Silver '05 Sport Trac because her paint is in good shape. My father recently bought a low mile 2004 custom van. The paint is in fair condition, but has no doubt seen it's share of automatic car washes. So, I thought his hood would be a good test...
