Looking to get a 1-3" polisher. I've always had my eyes on the FLEX PXE 80. Also noticed they have a FLEX XFE 3" polisher. Which do you guys prefer? What are your guys' recommended pads for the Flex 3" polishers? Thanks!

Hey guys, Ordering a Flex Supa Beast (upgrading from an old Griots GG6 I had) and want to make sure I'm purchasing pads that will pair well with it. I will definitely be ordering the 6" backing plate as that seems like a necessity according to Mike Phillips. The Lake Country Force Hybrid...

Hey guys, I'm gonna pull the trigger on a Flex 3401 - at one time I kept up with all the current products, but I've long been out of the "game". Hoping someone can help with a few questions: 1. It looks like the 3401 is out of stock - is this the same model, just a "Special Edition"? FLEX 3401...

Hey guys, I had a Griots GG6 with 5" backing plate that I got a ton of use out of over the years (just as a hobbyist). I ended up selling it about 2 years ago, but luckily I kept all my Griots Boss 5.5" pads (mostly orange pads and a handful of white pads). I'm in the market to buy another...

I had a NanoSkin Clay mitt which was great, but after years of sitting in a hot garage it was in rough shape. I’d like to get something I can use with a quick detailer instead of a mitt that requires a full wash. Is traditional clay bar still the way to go? It would be nice to have something...

Hey guys, It's been years since I've paid much attention to what is going on in the detailing world in terms of products. I'm a big fan of HD Speed and have used it as my AIO for quite some time, but I'm sure there is something better out by now (maybe not?). I've got a lot of old products...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some recommendations on a good sealant. It's been years since I've done much research on what's out there now a days. I've been using HD Poxy, but I'm sure there are much better products out there at this point. I will primarily be using this on my airplane, which is...

I know HD Speed is an AIO, but can you apply 303 Graphene over HD Speed? Thanks.

Hey guys, Let's say I used an AIO like HD Speed with the Griots BOSS Orange pads - could I go straight to a wax/sealant from here? Or would I need to follow up with the BOSS Yellow pads before going to a wax/sealant? As someone who only does this every so often, I'm trying to eliminate cost...

I’ve got some old Lake Country Flat Foam Pads that are beyond worn out at this point. I’ve got a Griot’s GG6 and the Lake Country Backing Plates. Would love a Flex 3401, but I don’t do enough detailing to justify the cost. I’d like to get some new pads, mostly for detailing an airplane...

Hey guys, I've got a 2018 Bass Tracker (aluminum fishing boat). It is in great shape, but I'd like to get some scratches and scuffs off the tops of the sides where rods, hands, etc are always touching it. My guess is that it is gel coat? The Marine 31 product seems like a really great product...

Somehow my wife got white paint splatter on the back of her black Ford Escape. It is very small pin drops of white paint all over the back of the car. I don't think it is something that will come off with clay bar. Any tips, chemicals, etc I should try? Thanks!

This is driving me nuts - I get multiple emails every single day about old threads that I am "subscribed" to. I have already gone in my settings and asked that I don't receive emails and I have unsubscribed from ALL of my previous threads. Am I missing something else here? These emails have got...

Just noticed I have a bit of black tar on my chrome bumper of my F-150. I don't have any tar removers - any suggestions? Was maybe thinking of CarPro Tar X?

So I started out with a GG6 and have both 4" and 5.5" pads for it (about every color of LC Flat pad you can buy). I kind of wish I would have bought a Flex 3401 off the bat, but it is what it is now. I know there are a ton of different threads on the Flex vs. the Rupes...many of which I have...

So...just curious...why do you guys still use traditional waxes/sealants if coatings last so long and provide better durability? Is it that much more work? More expensive?

This is probably a bit of a silly topic, but I find that it is little techniques that can save you a lot of time. I used to spray my product (Meg's APC, Meg's QD, McKees Interior Cleaner/Protectant, whatever it is I am using) directly onto the interior surface. This was messy...over spray gets...

This is probably a stupid question, but do paint coating wash off microfibers when you wash them? Or is it like once they are used for wiping off a coating they have to only be used for coatings in the future?

Hey guys, A fellow Autogeeker suggested using Optimum Paint Prep before McKees Paint Coating instead of the McKees Coating Prep as it would save me a lot of time. I have a big F150 and doing a polish like M205 followed by McKees Coating Prep Polish and then following that with the Paint Coating...

What do you guys recommend for cleaning and protecting the rubber trim around windows? I hear 303 Aerospace works great for protection but not sure what to use for cleaning the rubber. Maybe Megs APC?
