    20 Things We Should Say More Often

    "nothing" I have to do that one a lot at work. Very funny vid, I love that little kid. The slide commercial he does had me crying.

    Customer Service

    Ordered 2 weeks ago and got e mails first thing in the morning they were going to make up a product out of stock with smaller bottles of the same product (actually giving me a little more than I paid for) and they were out of glass pads (had one, but they are sold in pairs) and I was gonna be...

    Lurking for a few months, ready to interact !

    I'm gonna be really honest and say that I didn't read your whole post. I'll try and help with what I did read. GG vs. PC: GG-lifetime warranty, more power (still very safe!), designed for a 6 inch pad (6.5)so you can do more area at once and get more correction. PC7424xp- 1 year warranty...

    Rupes Hats from SEMA

    Can't wait for the "how many people asked if you hunt big foot this week" thread. Cool hat, too bad our little circle isn't bigger.

    Something has changed with the detail spray.

    If you want a more in depth answer post on their forum. They buy some stuff from warners (I believe it's the name, I know it's close). It's the same company chemical guys uses. Also the company cg uses to "relable" for pro retailers to sell their own brand. Answer to your original question...

    Da polisher.... Harder than I thought..

    This is gonna sound crazy, but if you can remove that handle give it a go with resting your hand directly on the head of the machine. Pay attention to keep the pad flat, but at speed 2 it should be really easy to stop the pad from doing anything but shaking. Start on a flat horizontal panel and...

    How cold is to cold to wax ?

    My general rule is if it has a cure or haze time more than 5 minutes I won't use it under 50. WOWO products seem to work ok. Did a car in klasse aio last night and it was a little harder to remove than normal, but nothing major. Wax does just fine in the 40's. At least for me. Humidity is a much...

    Getting a car back in shape

    Klasse is a fantastic product. Don't get my first post wrong, it's a top notch sealant. I just know that you don't want to put the love into the kid hauler we all do our garage queen cars. In that case a coating might better fit your needs. I enjoy getting out there and sealing and waxing and...

    Getting a car back in shape

    All-In-One is not a wax, silicone or polymer but an acrylic formula. All-In-One bonds to the surface like wax but doesn’t penetrate or change the paint in any way. It matches the depth and clarity of a high quality carnauba wax but lasts much longer. One or two applications a year will keep...

    Getting a car back in shape

    Not a bad plan, but for super long term protection look into a coating. Some are 2+ years of protection. I don't use them, but they have fantastic reviews on here. I believe an opticoat dealer can do a "perminant" coating. I'll let someone else chime in if that's a consumer available product...

    Why oh why?

    Try a 5.5 inch pad or drop to speed 4-5 and do more passes with a 6.5 inch pad. My buddy was trying mine other night and kept getting wobble so he death gripped it and applied too much pressure to off set his pad not being flat. The 7424 defiantly vibrates more.

    New poster, long time lurker.

    Dude! That's a pretty serious collection. Please tell me those are real wedsports. :) Next good investment you can make is a griots 3 inch polisher, rupers mini, or a pc with small backing plate. It's a great tool to have for sure.

    Finally got to use my Flex

    If you think you wobble with the 5 inch pad just try a 6 incher. It's pretty horrible for a while. 9-14 pounds of pressure. Maybe a little more for heavy compounding, but I tend to just do another section pass on that area and work it twice instead of adding pressure. I'm also fairly new to...

    Does everyone buy there products from Autogeek?

    I get about 85% from AG. I have a local Adams dealer I was using for a while, and I still do a little business with him, but I find much better value on here.

    Armor all question?

    Walmart prepaid debit card. Pay cash and get a card number.

    How effective are small hand held shop vacs

    That little guy right there blows away even my large shop vac. (the huge brother to the one you posted about) I also have the little red shop vac that's about the same size as the grey/blue one and I can tell you it's pretty bad. Will only do super light jobs. If it's what you have then ok, but...

    Nothing Seems to work

    Go over it with a white pad and your finishing polish. You might be seeing micro marring. You need to refine that away via a final polish.

    First Time Clay Bar, Wax, & Rim Polish!

    Perhaps you should clay something bigger to get a feel for it. If it's gummy/grabby and you have ample lubrication then you're removing contamination. Don't press hard and keep it wet. Most people consider polish to be a brightener. Retailers a polish is a mild abrasive. Over use of 205 would...
