I have been organizing products into detail bags lately because most of my "details" happen outside of my home. I want to have a bag for exterior, interior, one for my PE8, one for my 3401, and one extra for extra goodies and over flow. Here's my interior bag so far... Megs APC 4:1 and 10:1...

Recently I have seen a few posts from members who have been involved in vehicle accidents and have needed repairs done through "customer pay", claimant or claimee insurance. This can be a confusing and difficult time because no one plans to have an accident, that's why we call them accidents. I...

As I had mentioned in this thread http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/flex-polishers/97011-flex-xc-3401-first-options.html I decided to purchase a Flex 3401 to test at work for assisting with clear coat finishing, mostly on black and really dark colors for hologram elimination. Having used a...

I was just looking to see what kind of replacement parts for the FLEX 3401 were available and thought I would share. If you ordered the pink flex and don't want to paint it you can find the housings in the first link... Parts for XC3401VRG | Powerhouse Distributing Flex XC3401VRG Parts...

So I ordered my pink FLEX XC 3401 last night and I need some help with what size plates and pads to buy. I've been reading quite a bit on the subject but I have specific techniques and needs. I purchased the Flex to assist with finishing, mostly on black and really dark colors to eliminate...

Rupes LHR 21ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher Ohhhh darn. I really want to get a Rupes and I wanted the new Mk2 but man this is a good deal. I spend every day using a rotary but would love to have/try a Rupes for finishing work, not to buff out sanding scratches (1000/1500/2000). What's...

Has any one experienced the "silk" edges of the Chinchilla microfiber causing light scratches in their paint? I was doing a waterless wash this evening and noticed after drying off a cleaned but still wet portion of my spoiler that it had developed some light but notable scratches. I had gone...

Just wanted some quick opinions on a few things. I have been taking my wash bucket up to the pay and spray so I can use their power washer and my own soap and wash mitt. Its been working out fine but it was 36F today and nearly froze my fingers off with the wind and temp. I was thinking next...

Next weekend I will be doing what I call an 80% detail to my newly purchased CTS. Not only to add some protection for the winter, but to also get a good idea of what I will need to do in the spring as far as my "100%" detail. I already plan to re-spray the front end and have quite a few...

This may be a stupid question, but can I add a standard side handle to a LHR21. I would really like to invest in the new MKII but I'm a little hesitant if I cant add a handle. I don't think Mike is a big fan but I've been buffing five days a week, four to six hours a day for 11 years and have...

I just used my recently delivered Meguair's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner and my got it stinks. I just wanted to do a quick wipe down before running errands and had to drive with the windows down! Its just as described in this thread... Meguair's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner - unpleasant odor...

Just as a warning I will most likely be asking a lot of questions in the up coming weeks. It/I may be annoying but every one here seems to have quite a bit of experience and I have quite a few questions need clearing up! I am full of paint/body info so I promise I'm not mooching. Washing In...

Long post sorry! So I had the day off today and decided I should try some of the new products I purchased from recommendations and information I gathered form the forum and had some questions. So first thing I did today was wipe down/clean both doors with D101 so I could test and decide...

13oz of Plexus is $22. I was looking for insight from others here on what there experience is with cheaper alternatives. Also why not just use 303 Aerospace? I have never used Plexus so not sure why plastic specific is better...

Hi all. Found this web site looking for sealer reviews and was impressed with the forum and decided to join. Seem like a lot of collective knowledge as far as detailing and paint preservation. I have been detailing for 15 years and painting as a professional for around 12 years. Any questions...
