What do you guys think of the 3D AAT Finishing Polish? Think it will get the job done? Have you ever used it before?

I currently have a Porter Cable dual action and a Flex 3401

Due to some health issues, its been a while since I have done any major detailing or been on the forums. I am feeling much better but am not at the end of the road. Since then, my wife recently bought a new Toyota Highlander. During the final prep the dealer "removed" some scuffing they...

The door jambs on my car are easy and would be easier with a steamer but i cant justify a steamer for that. I dont know how else to describe the area, maybe a "door lip". It is kind of a lip area located on the interior side of the sheet metal of the door and runs from the back edge of the...

When I first got my new car I asked my dad to go pick it up and he did. Before I got back in town that week he had Zeibart rust proof put on it as a birthday gift. However excess rust proof coating tends to accumulate on the interior side of door panels in the folds around the edge of the...

I dont know what the issue is with all of the recent failures. I however purchased my copy 3 years ago. I plan to report mine to PC in the hope of being part of the solution. I have heard others say that it all started when they moved manufacturing out of country, I have also heard other...

Do you use the same backing plate for both 5.5 and 6.5 pads on your 3401? As far as what i was doing, I was sanding down a project this weekend. When all of a sudden the spindle separated from the bearing and came flying off with the backing plate still attached. It put a nice scratch in the...

This weekend my pc 7424 spindle broke while using it to sand a project I was working on. I am going to get it fixed but am extrememly hesitant to use it on any vehicles after that happened. I am currently looking for suggestions / opinions. I think this is a good time to step up to a better...

How often do you use the blaster? That vac is a little big for me right now. I live in an appartment for the time being, but am looking for a house. Right now i have a washing location with a outlet but that location is not available in the winter. So i need to find a power converter for 110...

So ??? how do you dry??? Towels or vacuum/blower and why? I am tired of using towels. While the risk is minimal when used correctly, there is still a chance to scratch anytime you drag something across the surface. So i have decided i want to start blow drying, will be better for my back as...

gottcha, will ultra poly mar the finish.

After washing and claying I use Klasse AIO then 2 layers of Klasse SG then top with Collinite 845.

It goes on so easy by hand and is a sinch to apply evenly with a microfiber applicator.

For the situation I am thinking of, Yes. Which of the mild clays could leave a marred finish?

So the time has come , I am starting to get request from others to help with their cars. Recently I have had quite a few request that have been solved with just clay. However, as I never abused my vehicle or let sap, overspray etc sit on it for long periods of time I am not familar with the...

Thanks Mike for the answers. I have used AIO and love it but I have never used the SG. I have heard it is a great product and good for winterizing the car so I figured I would give it a try.

I am going to try Klasse sg soon and I am wondering about how to apply/remove. There seem to be conflicting reports of how long to leave on paint before removing/ how long in between coats you should wait. SO : 1. Should the SG be left on while you wait 8-12 hours ? 2. How long should you...

I guess I'll wait it out this weekend and see what happens by monday. I was just so disapointed when I opened the package as I planned to do correcting and polishing this weekend. It will now have to be put on hold until next month when more free time rolls around. :(:(

So I got these new pads today ( see pics ) and fresh out of the box they are all warped in some way from being packaged improperly. There were entirely way too many pads stacked in a stack in too small of a bag. The worst of them is the black one shown in the pic. The softer pads, blue and...

Okay so after the scratches from the 2 trips to the swirl o matic the wife took and the fingernail scratches my buddy put in after removing my badges ( he did an awesome job on his car and said he could do the same on mine. I am really disappointed in him with this. You can see where the...
