    Black Friday Computer Purchase Help

    My advice would be as follows based on your current situation: Don't get a MAC. None of your existing software will work. You have far more options with PCs and they should cost less. The days of switching to a MAC because they are more "secure" than a PC are well in the past and the...

    Rupes 4" pads

    Rupes is a manufacturer in Germany that sells products through distributors and retailers such as AG. They would support the products as such. I am not interested in getting replacements but to determine if method was the cause or if it's a product issue which I'm fairly certain it's the...

    Rupes 4" pads

    Has anyone had issues with these pads failing quickly? I used a blue cutting pad with the Rupes mini last night and the pad started to separate from the backing after no more than five minutes. I grabbed another pad and used very little pressure to see if that was the issue and in about the...

    Touch-up paint companies

    I use Automotivetouchup as paints are $10. They also sell dabbers that work much better than factory touch up paint brushes.

    Wheel Damage

    If you touch up the paint make sure to put clear over it then only wash with soap and water to lessen the chance of the paint coming off.

    Paint Thickness Gauge

    Mine seems to work fine but I have never compared it against a more expensive unit. When I measure were I just compounded it indicates slightly less thickness as I would expect.

    First paint burn

    I'll follow-up and take a few better photos when I get my friend to fix it. I didn't want to bother him over he weekend. The trizact disks are meant to be used with a 3" orbital buffer but I had used them with my power drill as I can set the speed based on how hard I pull the trigger but I may...

    First paint burn

    Yep. It's basically the 3m scratch remover kit. I've used the 3000 grit trizact disks many times with my drill with no issues but going forward I won't be! They are soft and flexible if you have not used them.

    First paint burn

    The trizact was on my cordless power drill. In writing this and thinking through my steps I realized what I did and yes its embarrassing. I'm still scratching my head as to why the scratch in the car was yellow in color as it was right below the door so I think its metal below. Also every...

    First paint burn

    Today I was working on a friend's KIA Soul and I burned a nickel sized spot in the paint. I was using Trizact 3000 grit wet sand discs which I have used many times before. I'll include a photo but its hard to see what's going in since I took it on my camera phone with flash. So this is how it...

    Introducing!! Pinnacle black label!!!

    I agree with the last few posts in that it would take a lot more than photos of a few shiny cars to get me to purchase this. The great thing about detailing as a hobby and buying from AG is getting several new items to try out for around than $100 or so. I have tried some of the higher end...
