There are many good ways I've read to clean pads and this one may have been talked about but after getting so much knowledge from you guys i think i may have a little of my own i can finally give back. What i do is use some megs apc diluted around 6:1 spray all over the pad (soak it) work it in...

Check out these pads. I've never heard of one pad that can do all steps but this one claims to. It's in eBay and i know this guy is legit i buy pads from him a lot. But I've only bought lc pads. Wanted to know what y'all thought...

I know the best mf towels are ones such as Cobras or others sold online. But I'm always looking for more and was just how some of others stacked up. I've seen some at places orileys like the viking brand. Are any of them any good? Like good enough to use to buff off wax? Like they have a 2...

Getting a 2013 dark blue camaro from a large potential customer. He wants to see my work on this car. I've got everything lined up just wondering if with the color dark blue if i should finish with a carnuba wax or a sealer? Any thoughts? And what would make you decide on either one? Why...

Today i had a black car that needed water spots removed. I was using pinnacle xmt 360 with an orange pad and not quite getting the results i wanted. So i put a little megs up in the pad with the 360. Worked out rather nicely. I could have done better but this was a production detail. Sent...

OK I asked this in my last thread but never got an answer on this question. I'm wanting to open up to more products other than megs which I'm full of. I've gotten some good responses on other products. But I'd like to know more about the performance of the polishes by PB and ultima on bogo...

I'm on a bit of a budget but I need a steamer. Or shampooer. I am thinking to go with steamer since I've read that a steamer can do basically the same job on carpet a shampooer can do. Plus man more uses. I've look at one by Wagner a 1500w around $100 but (and I don't really know) I've seen...

I've been a megs purist mostly because the cost vs performance ratio. I love that most stuff can be diluted. But Im starting to get irritated with their compounds and polishes due to dusting. But I am wanting to try to move to another line even if to just to broaden my horizons I was wondering...
