I polished my car over the weekend with HD Uno and I'm having a hard time getting off some of the polish that splattered on the roof and hood. I tried wiping it down with IPA and water as well as washing the car and the splatter is still there. Is there a safe, easily obtained solvent that...

I just bought a used MB E350 in black with lots of swirl marks from the guy at the car lot that used a rotary on it. I have a Flex 3401 that I haven't used yet and I'd like to try it out with some HD Uno that I bought recently. Since HD doesn't make a pad to fit the Flex which Meguiars pad...

I'd like to replace my Meg's G100 (PC 7424) with one of the newer, more powerful d/a polishers. The motor specs make me lean towards the Griot's product, but the PC has a good reputation for ruggedness and durability where the Griot's unit is a little more of an unknown quantity in that regard...

I just received my new Flex 3401 and was wondering if I have to lube the felt ring. I pulled off the backing plate and it appears not to have any lube on it from the factory. What's the consensus on the type and quantity of lube? Any problems with oil flinging out onto the paint or the pad...

Does anyone know a product that would work to revitalize a vinyl motorcycle seat? It's on a 1983 Honda that had been stored indoors for years, but for the last 6 or 8 months it ended up outside in the sun. The black seat is starting to look a little grey and feels a little stiff instead of...

I had just finished feeding the cats and doing a couple of chores when I went out to my car (black 92 MB 300E) to find one of the cats lying on the hood. As I picked him up I noticed 3 long scratch marks where he apparently jumped up, slipped and dug in his claws. Arrrrgh!!! :mad: :mad...

According to another member here, Porter Cable was bought out recently. Here's his post: "Porter Cable was bought by Black and Decker Dewalt last fall. I bought a orbital 7424 for a great price too. They are closing out porter Cable tools everywhere so buy them while you can. Great tools and...

After buying a set of Edge 2k pads and 3 grades of XMT Swirl Remover I decided to do a test spot yesterday on my single stage black 92 MB 300E with my new PC. After the first pass with an orange pad and the Fine Swirl Remover I noticed some micro marring; tiny little curved scratches which gave...

I just bought a 92 Mercedes 300E with black single stage paint. It's pretty badly badly swirled from years of automatic car washes and I'd like to bring it back to pristine shape. I've got a PC 7424 with the Edge pad system (unused as of yet) and I'd like to get some recommendations. Is there a...

I've got the Meguairs G100 version of the 3.7amp PC 7335. It has a counterweight labeled for 5" pads only. Does this refer to the diameter of the backing plate or the foam pad itself? If it refers to the pad, can I install the 6" counterweight so I can use the 6.5" pads? What is the effect of...
