    Information from anyone at Autogeek

    The last few days my garage tempature exceeded 100 degrees and it seems like my xmt 1 2 3 4 polish lost it's viscosity. They are about a year old so I don't know if it was the heat or are they just old. I only do 2 cars so they sit on the shelf. How long should they last. There almost like water.

    Rotary Calculation

    Is there a spreadsheet available that correlates the speed of the rotary versus DA. Example: If the recommended dial speed for a product using the Porter Cable is 5 what should the dial speed of the Dewalt be set at?
