    collinite 885 - got pearl?

    885 is the Fleetwax I believe...and all the collinites are nice waxes...they are as durable as a sealant...and not bad lookers either...not a beauty wax..but will bling paint as you see here....the 915 Marque is my favorite..its the best looker of them all to me...and lasts like Iron...beads for...

    Can't decide on wheel cleaner

    yes ..I agree..80,000 miles of non cleaning is a bit to clean...I think the Megs Wheel Brightner may be your friend if they are black and crusted...a one time shot will not hurt them...it does clean.... the Eagle one works for me on maintained cars..not neglected ones..lol... Al

    WHICH wax is first?

    If you were going to do that process..I would do the 845 first then the Sov as a topper... 845 has a high solvent content and I think if you topped Sov with it you will actually remove the Sov actually just try one or the other first to see if you like the look of just one on the paint...

    tried out my new flex today

    Most people think that speed 6 is the way to polish..well machines are different....I found that speed 4 or 5 with the flex worked perfect with the polishes I use..speed 6 generates heat so fast it will flash a polish fast...I use 6 on the final pass is all...most times I work at 4 or 5 ..so...

    REVIEWS - Wolfgang 3.0 Polishes + a few others

    If the menzerna is broken down correctly and used correctly it will not fill ...the lube in it will add a filling effect if you do not get all the correction done with the first session..so its best to wipe the area to see your progress...and as far as bonding issues...any one who goes from...

    Which Rotary to go with?

    There was a site selling reconditioned Hitachi's for 113.00....nothing wrong with a recon..infact they most likely get all the bugs out of it...I Know Shabybreal bought one and uses it every day...and said it looked like a new one when he got it..its from the authorized repair center for...

    Damn Leaking Tank!

    the female part on the tank looks pretty beat...may be stripped out if the fitting pulls out if you wiggle it...I would tape it and run a bead of silicone on the threads also to seal and secure it Al

    Damn Leaking Tank!

    yes...wrap it around about 5 times and then screw it in...wrap it the oppisite way it screws in also so it will not unwind going in...its cheap also like maybe a 1.50 a roll at home depot or lowes..in the plumbing section...they have a liquid also....or a paste ...use what you feel comfortable...

    Damn Leaking Tank!

    Have you tried wrapping the fitting threads with Teflon tape...is it leaking from the fitting going into the tank..if so a good wrapping of Teflon tape will most likely fix the leak... Al

    Menzerna, what to buy

    To me..PO85RD brings the gloss up a little more on Reds..Blacks Yellows and darker colors than 106FF...85RD is slightly less abrasive...and it seems to just mirror out on darker colors more so than 106FF... 106FF will give a great finish by all means..but the 85RD goes a bit higher in the gloss...
