Good Evening, I am currently in polishing purgatory on my friends Zenith CH-601. I stumbled across PLB Diamond Wheel Coating in one of Mikes online classes and thought this may be a massive benefit to this aircraft. How well does this product bond to bare polished aluminum and what kind of...

Hey everybody, I'm detailing the interior of a Dodge Dart today. The cloth seats seem to have the hair, both cat and human, stuck into them, almost like a needle point. Does anybody have any tips on how to easily remove these, I'm just picking them out one by one after vacuuming up the loose...

Hey everyone, I'm currently using 303 Automotive Protectant on my car (after upgrading from the Meguiars Natural Shine Protectant) and am happy with the results on my plastic parts but would like to upgrade to something that offers more durability and protection (especially on the arm rests)...

So maybe the title is misleading, but my pads are warming up to the touch when polishing or compounding on my 21mm orbital. I polish on my machines number 4 setting (3800/3900 OPM), only apply enough pressure to keep the DA on the car, and use three pea size dots of polish or compound (AIO is a...

Hey everyone, here's a few photos of my leather seat in a 2010 Ford Edge I own. As you can see there is some blueing on the seat I do not suspect to be from denim material. The seat maintenance previous to my ownership is unknown with what cleaners were used. The first three images are the...

Hey everyone! I've started to do some research to improve my carpet cleaning skills (both in the car and the house). One thing I've noticed is the matching of the cleaner type to the cause of the stain itself to remove it. Does anyone have any insight to some of these matches for common stains...

Hey everyone (I'm just full of questions today), I'm kicking the idea of upgrading the 6in DA to the BOSS 15mm throw orbital. How does the 15mm throw handle curves compared to the 8mm throw? Do you notice a real difference in the amount of time you spend working on compounding and polishing...

Hey everyone, I was looking for some input on the protection offered by ceramic coatings. I understand the UV A/B protection, chemical resistance, easier washing, oxidization protection, and the like but I'm wondering about the paints mechanical protection (protecting the paint from swirls). I...

Hey everyone, I'm buffing plexiglass on airplane Windows right now and I'm having trouble removing fine swirl marks. I'm using Novus plastic compound and plastic polish. I'm working with the Griots Garage 6-inch orbital and Lake County pads. I began the process off by using a 6-inch...

Another Airplane project of mine is to polish out my propeller (it's bare aluminum on the front, black on the back). I use Mother's Aluminum Polish by hand but I wanna step up to my DA. What pads would be recommended (foam vs microfiber vs wool). Thank you again for your inputs (the wealth of...

Hey everyone, So I have a 1956 Cessna 172 that needs the windshield (made of plexiglass) polished due to many scratches on it (previous owner(s) kept a cover on the plane that probably led to excessive rubbing and previous owners not using proper rags to clean before flight). I have decided to...

Hey Everyone! I wanted to bounce a "battle plan" off yall. My dad asked me to get the swirl marks out of his Black 2015 Ram 1500. The swirls are not severe but definitely not light grade (pictures to come soon). My plan of action will be to wash the car top to bottom and immediately get...
