Those Fairlanes are among some of the prettiest cars ever built...in my top 5...and perhaps #1. Absolutely love them!!

Wow, Setec! I was kind of rattling the can a bit...you certainly thought it was a snake and bolted. LOL! Guess it worked. I guess if it's not sold by Autogeek it's total junk? Actually, I would say it's a total different market with a totally different group of buyers. That's not to say...

It probably quit beading so quickly for two reasons; older product, and not being washed. Dirt and grime does inhibit beading to a degree. If the product still works, then a washing should reveal beading. Try a new test with a new bottle...won't cost much to try. Again, won't cost much to...

You're kidding, right?

Hmmnnn...your saving quite a bit of product then. Thanks for the tip. You confirmed what I've considering doing for quite a while now. I'll be ordering a gallon then. Thank you.

You said you was confused on which polish you want and then you included a glaze which led be to believe you were considering a glaze. Read about the differences between the two polishes and decide for your self. I'm sure either would work fine, and as I said in another post staying on the...

Again, read Mike's articles and you'll see that a good quality polish... (why not one from Menzerna for some synergistic compatibility with the products you already chose) ... is much better than a glaze that hides and fills. Why hide and fill if your first step is compounding? FG400 can...

I've thought about buying the gallon as well and using one of the non-foaming sprayer bottles I have on hand. I don't really care for the foaming sprayer. It works decent, but I think it uses far too much product. I'd like to try some in a fine atomizing sprayer that would use less product...

Let me clarify... I did not say the things above to pit the long throw machines versus the 3401, rather, I tried to keep the context of my words as indicating how often I see Mike choose 3 certain tools. The long throws are great in their own right and I'm certain can find a place in anyone's...

I suppose if you're handy with tools and can comprehend Mike's tremendously great writing skills as well as learn from his many videos, then it would probably be easy enough to learn to use the 3401. I had only used it once, at one of Mike's training get-togethers, and since I can use a rotary...

Honestly, I think it's some sort of release agent from the mold at the factory, but I can't say 100% for sure because I'm not a tire guru. When my tires are dirty enough to warrant a cleaner like the Mothers cleaner you used, I always clean once and rinse the brown dirty foam away, then I...

I myself have a dual action polisher, a G110v2. I also have a cheap rotary from harbor freight. So with that my next purchase will be a 3401 because of the action not the brand. I'm sure Mike Phillips would have no trouble using any brand of da...but, I didn't mention what I thought his top 3...

I've noticed an awful lot on this forum that when time is of the essence for Mike Phillips he goes for a couple of tools. I've noticed if speed is a top priority for him he opts for the rotary and PC style dual action polisher, OR he simply grabs the Flex 3401. On a lot of jobs he uses the...

Those Michelin's have a coating on them when they're new that doesn't clean off easily. That is likely where the spottiness is coming from...that coating coming off. It appears there were made the 20th week of 2015 (hence the "2015" number on the side that represents the week of the year they...

With all due respect you would be better served if you took the time to review many of Mike's articles so that you can make your own informed decision. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-mike-phillips-your-detailing-questions/23722-car-detailing-articles-mike-phillips.html Take the time...

Ok...I stand corrected. Someone in a joking sense mentioned using Sweet Baby Ray's as an lsp. LOL!

Who said anything about putting anything on to take the heat? No one mentioned lsp's...they were talking about buffing them out.

You've got some seriously great in-laws. That's awesome. First, decide how you want to continue treating the car. Whether it's to be a daily driver, driven on occasion and garage kept, or a garage queen and rarely driven.

No...but I thought about it and decided not to. Mine is stainless, but has large cast aluminum edges holding it all together. I'm still planning on cleaning mine up, just not with my rotary like I'd considered. Got a couple rust spots on it where I left something on it that shouldn't have...

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/100839-clickable-link-blue-font-color-gone-links-easily-missed.html Below is something else I noticed that is different. When I click on the "+Reply to Thread" tab there's no function to allow me to underline, italicize, or change to bold...
