    Sonax CutMax & Sonax Perfect Finish

    Are Sonax CutMax and Perfect Finish OK to be used in a 2-step scenario, or either one individually based on the condition of the job at hand. I originally thought the former, but after reading more on it I'm starting to doubt myself.

    Extension cords

    I'm looking for a cord that has little-to-no "memory", i.e. it straightens out easily after having been coiled up tightly for some period of time. Many power tools have this kind of soft, flexible, rubber-like qualities, but I haven't been able to find it in extension cords. 14-16 gauge...

    Flex 3401 VRG backing plates

    Is there an exactly 5" backing plate available for the Flex 3401? As the picture shows I want to use a 5" Uro Fiber pad with the Flex, but the pad is exactly 5" while the backing plate is 5.5", leaving a 1/4" exposed backing plate that I'm afraid might scratch the paint if I bump into it near...

    Drying tine Solution Finish.

    I'm prettying up a car for sale and plan on using Solution Finish on the lower textured vinyl trim (black 2014 Hyundai Tucson). I wanted to know if this stuff dries completely (100%, no transfer). I wouldn't want a potential buyer to walk away with black smudges on his/her clothes. Thanks.

    Disclaimer: This post is in no way meant as a diss to any brands of ceramic coating, including the one named. It's just that circumstances have come up that make me believe the product in case does not play well with a certain car. Please don't turn this into a shouting match over different...

    Nanosin Spot Free Q

    I just came across this product and IMHO it's the best one of its kind I've found so far. My question is if this i a product can be used on a regular basis, or is it only meant for extreme cases that won't come off short of polishing? Will excessive use harm the paint? I just coated a pitch...

    Uro-Fiber pads Q

    I may be revealing my own ignorance and opening myself for ridicule, but here goes anyway: Is it true that the Buff & Shine Uro-Fiber pads are just as good for heavy cutting as for finishing just by manipulating the compound/polish? I.e. use a coarse compound first, clean the pad and finish off...

    Can somebody in the know please tell me if the 2nd Gen Rupes with a 15mm throw comes standard(?) with a 5" or 6" backing plate? Or both. I would prefer 5" since i have heavily invested in 5" and 5.5" pads. I've been searching high and low on the Internet to know avail. If you do know the answer...

    Menzerna Power Lock Question

    The Missus and I did our first "serious" paint detailing/correction over the past few days on a 2014 black Hyundai Tuscon. We are both late life, recent converts, newbie weekend warriors as it were, to the detailing obsession. We followed the steps we'd learned from reading up on this and other...

    Foam Cannon adapter

    I want to buy the Foam Cannon from Autogeek, but I'm having some problems figuring out the correct adapter for my pressure washer lance. I've searched high and low and found someone who suggested the Bosch adapter might be the best bet, but nothing solid. I've also talked to Andre at Autogeek...

    Hi there!

    I'm Lars from Connecticut. I'm a middle-aged guy with little-to-no experience in car detailing beyond hand washing once in a while with a bucket of warm, soapy water and a sponge (and from what I've read that's the wrong way). I have a specific question that I haven't been able to find a...
