    Ordered a Griot's 3" Polisher

    Ordered my first mini polisher, a Griot's 3 inch. I am mostly a hobbyist, so I cannot justify buying an expensive Flex or similar. At any rate, my other machine I have had since 2014 is the G110v2, and it is okay. I bought it because I always trusted Meguiar's because back in the day they had...

    Been a While Since Detailing... Buying New Products. Which ones to get?

    Mr. Phillips: As always, it is a pleasure. In fact, you first helped me out long, long ago "using the least aggressive product," "wash, clay, clean, polish, protect," and "two bucket method" etc. I have learned a TON from you over the years. In fact, the first time you helped was before you...
