Lake Country pads are ok at best. I use their black foam pads for AIO's. Their a cheap pad that gets the job done, just takes longer. There are better pads that will give you a better finish, last longer and clean easier than Lake Country pads. Meguiar's and B&S make some of the best pads IME...

Great work Caleb! How are you liking your new Rupes?

All Dual Action machines are Random Orbitals. My GG6 has "random orbital" stamped on its side. On this forum, random orbitals are generally referring to those cheap round machines you find at the local walmart/parts store. Essentially, their all the same with the exception of a more powerful...

Yes IPA (or alternatives) are used to remove & break down compounds/polish. They reveal the true nature of the finish, and ensure a clean surface for an LSP to adhere to. As far as your observation on your pads, it depends. What pads are you using? Cheaper pads will absorb product, instead of...

^^ What he said. While IPA works, IME its not ideal all of the time. There are several factors that affect its performance. Paint type, its dilution percentage. I always preach the "dedicated product" method. Meaning, I rather (and have had better results) with products designed for a...

UP has more oils in it for a longer working time than its bigger brother, M205. In order to fully see the condition of the paint post polishing, you need an IPA alternative product like CarPro Eraser. There are similar products out there for this purpose. All in all, soft paint like Subarus...

Many will suggest various products for the paint. However for interior protection, my vote goes to Ultima Interior Guard Plus. I use it on my clients cars often.

Regardless of your photo shooting skills, clearly your detailing skills are not lacking. Outstanding work. I look forward to seeing more of your projects.

I dont know anyone on here from Denver, unless their new. Im in Colorado Springs. Theres big opportunity in Denver from what I've seen.

Ahh I see. I havent tried HD Uno because of the fact that It has received substandard reviews. I dont plan on using it either. Thanks for your feedback!

Nice review. I've never used any of the Mothers metal polishes (and they have several). I heard their Billet is top of the line. Im using Optimum Metal Polish right now. I dont do much metal polishing, but now I want to try Mothers and compare.

Very well said.

Im not sure im following. Regardless of what waterlesswash im using, I use a thick 600gsm towel for the initial wipe down. I do not let the product dry, I simply buff the remaining product with another quality towel. Both UWW+ & D115 require very little product to encapsulate and remove dirt...

Yes it does, however they are not strong enough to impede with the correction process like D115. Ive yet to have D115 or UWW+ streak on me...when used properly with quality towels. However...on a hot summer day your paint will be blistering hot. I dont care what product you have, it will...

3D makes the HD lineup, I wonder why they would put more emphasis on the HD line vs their origin brand. Interesting...with that said I never had an issue with HD products.

Really? Which ones? I use 3D alot, im interested in knowing which of their products you didnt like.

Ah I see. I would have no idea then, I havent tried or compared that product. Ive only used & compared D115 to UWW+ Ultima wins in the price/dilution category. However D115 blows it out of the water in looks, slickness & protection left behind. To me, this is worth the extra money. I use and...

Funny you mention this because I have a huge article coming our regarding D115 vs UWW+. Second, D115 in fact DOES have polymers in it. Although I think your off on the 128 gallon portion. The recommended ratio is 4:1, which would allow you to make 5 gallons of product. Yes there are higher...

My vote goes to D151, but lately I've been using HD Speed with great results.
