Couldn't have said it any better! Cuts polishing time down by 25% at least, and makes compounding a breeze. Have a friend grab the PC and you run the 3401 on the same panel on the other side of the car and see how far behind they are by the time you have finished...

I have comfortably ran a flex 3401 off of an optima blue top deep cycle / starting battery in my trunk for around 2 hours with very little drop in voltage. The tool doesn't even stress my 2000W inverter. I bet I could get a solid 3-4 hours off the battery if charged it fully while I drive to...

In regards to cordless power tool technology, it has come incredibly far. Brushless motors that run so much more efficiently with literally zero maintenance, ESCs which help maintain constant speed under various loads, and the new LIPO batteries are out of this world. The same innovations...

Just make sure you leave some headroom with your inverter. Same w/ an audio amp. Running at 85% or more constantly will significantly shorten its lifespan...

Best bet is a legit Pop-up or find a parking garage w/ an outlet. Or put something like this in your trunk...

Sorry for the late response. Here are the pictures everyone has eagerly been awaiting... please note all pictures were taken on an iPhone 5 :/ Car was protected with one coat of WGDGPS 3.0 and topped with one coat of Wolfgang Fuzion! Sonax full effect on the wheels: After polishing on the...

Thanks mike. I had similar issues on a 2014 Porsche 911 with paint as soft as warm butter. Only thing that did the trick was menzerna 4000 w/ a chem guys black hex logic pad (finishing/no cut). I just ordered some 4500 as well. When I have the chance to re-evaluate what is going on with the...

Stand by for pics tonight hopefully. Thread will not be 56K friendly to say the least.

Just washed and decontaminated. Went for a test spot on the hood w v36 on a cg hex logic white pad (flex 3401). Didn't like results. Not enough cut. Went to same product w/ hex logic green (flex 3401). Good results. Then tried to finish with black cg hex logic pad and v38 (flex 3401). No...

Thanks for all the feedback!! I think I will stick to one coat of WGDGPS. In terms of the topper collecting dust, the car is going to get regularily washed, so that really is not an issue, especially when spring is over and pollen isn't everywhere. The car is not really going to be driven a...

A family member just recently (within two weeks) just took delivery of a new 2014 Porsche 911 (dark metallic blue). The car rolled out of the factory around January, so the paint has cured/degassed. The car was prepped half decent from the dealer, considering it doesn't have DISO (dealer...

Thanks man. I will report back when I have a chance to make a pass at the roof/spoiler again.

Could well be extremely hard. The rest of the paint was, along with the two other new mustang's I have done. Maybe I will make another pass with a compound/cutting pad and then try to work down to a light polish like menzerna FF4000 or chemical guys V38 and see what happens. I was not worried...

I understand the time involved, the car was already stripped of any LSP, washed, and clayed before I got there. My plan was to do a 1-step polish on the car and then do whatever was necessary on the roof/spoiler, considering they were black. I applied Wolfgang Fuzion as a LSP. I had done a...

I am not quite sure. Thinking back on it maybe they were in the paint, and not caused by my polishing. Only thing is I hit the roof multiple times, each time switching to a less aggressive product and still had no luck. After compounding twice with a fairly aggressive product (first pass was...

Just spoke with the owner of the car, it's a 2012. We verified it's painted black, so that issue is resolved. I tried a newer product (chemical guys V36) which I have had good luck finishing down with on softer paint with a hex-logic green or white pad (white being less aggressive) depending...

I have had fantastic success with the chemical guys V line of polish. On everything from newer Mustangs to Porsche/Subaru, to mid 2000's cobalt, 2013 lexus gs and more. So I have dealt with different paint hardnesses. I have some menzerna stuff, maybe I should have tried sf4000 which is the...

It could very well be the previous owner had the spoiler and roof "blacked out". There were no edges, seams, or anything else on either surfaces that led me to believe there was vinyl on them. There was plenty of black vinyl on the car and the spoiler/roof did not look or feel anything like...

I recently polished a Ford Boss 302 Mustang (fairly new car). Car was white with plenty of vinyl which was taped off. I confirmed the roof was painted and cleared (it was black). I used chemical guys paint correction 2 (no. 721) on a chemical guys orange hex logic pad (on the white portion...

Since menzerna is oil based I need to clean up if I were to apply a paint coating. What if I wanted to just apply a wax or sealant? Would I need to wipe down with IPA solution?
