    Buffing + sinus issues?

    Anybody else have sinus issues, or irritated nose after buffing for awhile. I've noticed it enough that I don't think it's just a coincidence. It's more of a constant allergy sneezing type feeling than it is sinuses. I was using a rotary with tufbuf wool and FG400 when I noticed it...

    Agressive wash for Foamer

    Just ordered a foamer to use on my pressure washer and was looking for a good soap. Some of the ones I have used would take dry dust off fresh waxed paint but were pretty useless after that (Mr. Pink). I need something that cleans good, the stuff I clean is dirty. Wondering what others...

    First time with Opti-Coat

    Had our new Fendt and the tanker both cleaned up for some service so I decided to try out the Opti-Coat on the Fendt to see how well it holds up. We just got it in September so the paint is in pretty good shape but had enough scratches and such. Fendt is kind of the Mercedes of Tractors. Made...

    I'll show you trashed.

    Cant say I have seen paint in worse shape than this truck, even our semis and tractors are in better shape. The owner is a farmer that lives in an area with few paved roads. He has a German Shephard that rides along in the bed. They run a custom harvest crew as well so the pickups get pretty...

    Mr. Pink, weak.

    Short review of Mr. Pink. Bought it thinking it would be a good wash soap but it has let me down every time I've used it. I may be asking too much out of it, but outside of loose dust it will not clean anything. If there is a mud spot that has been pressure washed off, without extensive...

    Aluminum Wheel Restoration.

    Polishing Aluminum has always been rewarding for me. Its the one thing you really see a big turn around on and I just like working with it. Over time I have acquired the tools and products to make the process faster. I recently got into more sanding to get rid of heavy defects. Below is a wheel...

    Wow

    Guessing this may have been posted. I found this guys product awhile back. I always enjoy his attitude and such but his processes and technique have always made me cringe. Id like to see HQ images of his finished results someday...

    TufBuf Wool

    I've been using the black tufbuf wool pads as my heavy cutters. While they cut fast, I was curious if others that have experience with these feel there is something that cuts faster. I don't really polish many cars, equipment and semis are what a lot of my time goes to. These generally have...

    CarPro Rayon Pads

    Curious if there are any special cleaning procedures for these and if they need to be cleaned while working. Tried them out with the Ceriglass last night on one of our heavily scratched windows. After a half hour in the same small section it started to look better with only deeper scratches...

    New Oil Setup

    Warning: Long winded post, skip to bottom for pics and the actual details on the setup. Recently I decided to switch us to a different oil company. We had been using a small oil company before that sold cheap house blend oils. Their motto was cheap and simple. It worked, and probably works...

    MF Pad issues with PE14 Flex?

    Not sure if its an issue or the way it should work, most likely I figure I am doing something wrong. I get along fine using FG400 and PG1000 with both orange and yellow CCS pads as well as some tuff buff wool pads, but anytime I use on of the LC MF pads I have issues. I am using the thicker...

    New Trailer

    Looks like I have a lot of polishing ahead of me. Picked up our new trailer at the beginning of the week. Its a Trail King ASHR 2 4284 64 with wireless controls. I'll spare the rest of the details unless asked. It is a belt trailer which uses a roller chain along each side of the floor with...

    Menz. Top Inspection Sprayer

    Anybody else get one that sticks.? Mine sticks in and will not release back out unless I smack the top of it hard. Anybody have any remedies for this? (I know put it in another bottle) just curious if there was another way. Maybe I just need to order another one and steal that sprayer.

    Case IH 8940 Magnum

    This is one of our older tractors that has had a very rough life. Never seen an easy job it seems. Like most tractors it is a single stage paint, on fiberglass. Most of the white you see is actually rubbed fiberglass and not compound. A lot of Case Ih equipment is picked on somewhat because the...

    Used FG400 For First Time Today

    Got my FG400 yesterday along with Powerfinish to add to what I had from Menzerna already (PG1500,SIP,SF4000,Glaze,CleanerWax,Power Lock, Color Lock, Paint Refresh and Top Inspection). I won't say this is a professional review and it is brief, but the product impressed me. First I want to...

    Jetta & Snap-On Box

    Just a couple quick side by sides of the two. The Jetta is my daily beater, almost 300,000 on it now. Its a 2000 TDI/5spd, just put a new turbo in it last week. When I bought it in 2010 it was covered in salt due to it being winter. I decided to wash it that spring and then discovered every...

    Paint Thickness Gauge

    I put this in off topic because it is more the curiosity in me wondering if anyone knew what gauge is used in this video. I would guess it isn't a cheap one. I'm guessing its common for some OEM's to measure paint? Anybody else jealous of their final inspection room? Looks like it would...
