    Are all VW clear coats this hard ????

    I never start with a jeweling wax, but after seeing what Mike Phillips did with the black Maserati I thought ,what the heck...usually I only use the jeweling wax after the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze or after Menz 3800. I also have Wolfgang Swirl remover which is one of my go to polishes to start...

    Review: FLEX XFE 7-12 80 aka The FLEX 3" 12mm Long Stroke Orbital Mini Polisher

    I received my Flex XFE 7 in the mail the other day and put it to work pronto. It did a great job and it has a bunch more power than my Griots 3". I was worried about it stalling out , but I had no trouble with that issue. It was a little hard for me to see the rotation of the backing plate so I...

    Are all VW clear coats this hard ????

    Started detailing my daughters 2015 VW Passat yesterday using the new Pinnacle Jeweling wax. I wanted to see how it do with an average amount of light scratches using a LC white hybrid pad and Flex 3401. After claying the car I buffed a small test spot and it looked ok, but it didn't get all the...

    Cleaning towels

    Always wash your dirtier MF towels separate from your good MF polishing towels. A lot of people accumulate misc. mf towels some good ones , some not so good and eventually you might start using mf towels on tires and wheels, I buff a lot of aluminum and I use mf to final polish my...

    Review: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax - 2014 Maserati GT Sport detailed by Mike Phillips

    I did a little test today on my 64 Comet Caliente. I wanted to see what the Pinnacle Jeweling polish would do with the Flex PE 8. I used a orange cutting pad first and set the speed at 2 setting and did 4 passes with pressure and 2 passes with light pressure and reduced speed. I was amazed...

    12 different people - 6 different polishers and 1 jeweling wax = wet paint

    Fantastic job everyone !! I grabbed a bottle of the Jeweling wax on my last order and it really is amazing stuff. Mike, I was curious about what pads you used while buffing ? It looks like orange pads first then white pads and blue for final buff ? That would be three rounds of buffing, correct...

    Microfiber towels

    I use the AG Cobra waffle weave to dry and I have many of the Gold Plush Jr., and super plush Jr. (lavender) towels. My show car was recently painted and it seems to have a softer clear coat. For this car I started using PakShak towels. I just started using some of the Rag Company towels and so...

    Microfiber Opinions and Thoughts

    I just received my first shipment of towels from TRC. I picked up the 16x16 Pluffle, Minx, Eagle 350, and for grins I grabbed a Eagle 600 towel. I haven't had a chance to use these new towels yet, but looking forward to see how they perform. I also have many of the AG towels in my arsenal, but...

    Review: Pinnacle Jeweling Wax - 2014 Maserati GT Sport detailed by Mike Phillips

    Very nice review Mike. This product seems like it would be great for getting rid of the micro marring that is left from my car cover. After investing a good paint job, many $$$$ worth of Auto Geek products and an expensive car cover , I still wind up with micro marring from putting the cover...

    FLEX XFE-7-12 - 3 inch Mini Polisher VS Griot's 3" Orbital Polisher

    Just wondering if anyone has done a comparison between the new Flex XFE 3" mini polisher and the Griot's 3" polisher ? I have the Griot's 3" polisher and for me it lacks the power needed to drive the thicker 3" pads. I also have the PE 8 Flex and that is a great machine , but it does take some...

    Review: SCANGRIP Matchpen Swirl Finder Light - Intense Swirl Exposer in a compact size by Mike Phillips

    I just received my Scangrip Matchpen light the other day and it clearly out does my LED light I was using... I was using a 400 lumen LED light, but it seems the Scangrip is a whiter looking light. I try to look at the paint under various lighting such as my fluorescent shop lights, LED, etc. The...

    Any advice on cleaning / polishing aluminium ?

    You won't get anywhere polishing the aluminum if it is clear coated or anodized. To get the mirror shine from aluminum, you have to get to bare metal, then you do the sanding if needed stopping at no less than 1500 grit,( I sand up to 3000 grit) then the buffing starts with multiple compounds...

    Have any advice on polishing chrome?

    Never use a buffing wheel on chrome parts, take it from someone who learned the hard way. All it does is put a haze or light scratching in your chrome and once chrome is scratched it needs to be re-chromed,you can't get scratches out of chrome. When I first started polishing I made the mistake...

    Nanoskin vs clay bar

    Used my Cobra Clay Mit (nanoskin) for the first time today as opposed to the clay and WOW, it's easier to use, just wash it out and keep going, no kneading or worrying about rubbing old contaminates into the paint and it is a much faster process. I was taking off black paint over spray and you...
