How does this product compare to FG400? Things I dislike about FG400... -Many compounds outCUT it and outFINISH it, but the low dusting levels is what I like -takes forever to break down (wastes time and is very hard to remove if not broken down) -strong chemical smell Does Menzerna...

Has anyone ever wetsanded using their FLEX 3401 and the foam interface pad and the trizac or unigrit sanding discs? I really didn't wanna fork out almost $200 for a new machine just for a project, if my FLEX will get the job done just the same. Any input appreciated!

I coated a brand new set of tires with tuf shine this week. I did not use their cleaner, I used my own. All the new tire "wax" was removed and the tires appeared to be 100% clean. I applied 4 coats to reach the desired level of gloss and allowed each coat to dry to the touch before adding the...

As some of you know, the Porsche Cayman is a rear/mid engine car. Once the lid is removed, the engine is basically in the interior. Whats the nest method for cleaning this? The engine is just dusty....I'm thinking ONR in a pump sprayer and then a wipedown. Also...what do I need to be careful...

In the past I have been a frequent user of the forum, but since March I have been covered up with work, my day job, and just life in general and have not been able to post much. I wanted to catch everyone up on some of the work I have done. All vehicles have been full paint corrections and so...

The past few years we have all been blown away with what permanent coatings offer the detailing world. Ease of use, the BENEFITS of it, and the ease of car/paint care after they have been applied. IMO its the biggest leap in an already fast changing environment or new products and methods...

I'm tired of having to reach for my rotary to do the "surgical" polishing. AKA using pads 3 inch and smaller for the small more detailed areas on certain vehicles. Does Flex offer anything that 3 inch pads will work with? It's so much of a hassle to get the rotary out, unwind the huge cord, put...

So, I'm working on a black S2000, and my typical M205 will not finish this car down hologram free, paint is way too soft. So, I got some Menz SF4500 in hopes it would work great. Now, up until this point I have ZERO experience with DAT polishes and compounds, since I have always been a M105/205...

I do detailing on the side (part time) for myself and only do full correction type work. I do this because I love it, and I believe I am a happy medium for people looking for something extra in the world of detailing around my area, without paying the full price of a true proessional who is...

Here is a LS3 powered C6 that a friend wanted corrected and coated. 14 hours of correction went into this beauty. A warning for people using the blue shop towel method for applying coatings. STOP. You'll see what it did this this perfect paint. Process: -Car stripped with dawn and spot...

I find myself thinking into the future a lot, and it's scary to think where detailing technology will be in a few years. 20 years ago everyone just washed and waxed, and that was it. Then came claybaring and the popularity of paint correction and the luxury waxes. Now coatings are the hot thing...

This is the 4th vehicle I have coated with Opti-coat 2.0. The technique I have found best is where you put the yellow applicator in a disposable glove, and wrap the glove in a blue disposable shop towel. Shown here... So far, I have encounted zero problems with this method. Until...

I have done several C5 and up vettes and very familiar with the rock hard clearcoat system and what it takes to correct it via my Makita 9227c. However, I have a black C6 right now that has proved to be way more challenging than the other cars. The defects are very light (on any other car...

I just did my first Opti-Coat and have 5 more appointments scheduled. What are the options for buying this? Is there a way to buy more than just the 20cc supplied in the syringe? Or is the only other way to purchase it is buying getting approved for Opticoat PRO?

...was terrible. I did very extensive research on this stuff before I ordered it and used it. I was very disappointed with the ease of application. I primed the pad just as directed (IMO this pad soaks up way too much product and makes it very grabby to apply). Once pad was primed I used MORE...
