Another well timed post by Mr Phillips! I wish I had his level of knowledge!! Thanks!

Great info as always! Here's an add on Question! How do you feel about layering & Coatings? Yay or Nay?

nice! And this is 3 coats, he said 2 coats of CQUK and 1 of regular cquartz. I had an "experience" the last time I tried 2coats of cquartz. It didn't react how I anticipated and I had a HECK of a time removing the high spots! BUT! I'm gonna try it! I just can't resist!! Lol

Awesome! Thank you! I think I'm going try it too. I wish I could see some threads with dark cars. Mine is a Black GTI. I'll make a thread��

I've seen a few Facebook posts about it. And I've inquired to the posts, but they get lost and I forget where they are, lol. So my question is, have you tried it? What are your thoughts and do you have pics? Have you applied regular Cquartz over CQUK? Since they both have different finish...

PLEASE! [email protected] PRETTY,PRETTY, PRETTY PLEASE!

Re: First Boat! Gelcoats are no joke!�� YES! Thank you Mike Phillips! I was hoping to hear from you! Great info!! I'm definitely interested in the book! Please blow up the forums with plugs when it's available I need e-form! I think I'll just pull the trigger on a Rotaty. I watched a YouTube...

That's priced well too! I haven't considered a rotary until now (I usually only do cars, trucks, motorcycles and my Rupes 21 is a beast!) lol. What would be the advantage of jumping up to a Flex Machine? They are sure priced higher!!

I don't know what my deal is with rotary buffers, but they make me nervous, lol. What machines are you guys using for Rotary buffers?

So, I did my first boat yesterday! Gel coats are NO joke! I did a basic wash followed up with a single step buff/polish and wax as a LSP. I used the Meguiars M67 one step compound with foam pads on my Rupes 21. I broke it up into sections and went to town. Two solid passes on each section...

I think if it's gear driven forced rotation, that is equal to the larger throw as far as corrections. No forced rotation and short throw would be slower as far as corrections. What's the throw of the Makita?

Looking at the way it's all deteriorated on the outer edges, my guess it too much pressure, maybe too much pressure while the pad/machine isn't flat on the panels.. I had a similar issue when I first started using my Rupes. I was pressing too hard (similar pressure to my Porter Cable) and I...

Thanks folks! It's my buddy's car and it's not a daily driver, but he wants something that'll be durable, offer low maintenance and beef up the gloss.

I don`t have a ton of experience with single stage paint. There are a fair amount of swirls and micromaring and I want to polish and seal. I was thinking Cquartz but have heard mixed reviews on coatings and single stage paints. The correction plan is set but I wanted to know your thoughts on...

We bought the CX9 after being hesitant about purchasing another boring SUV.. It's been awesome, it's a blast to drive, it's friggin fast and looks awesome. The only issue we've had in 48k miles is a door latch mechanism that froze after a winter car wash. Apparently sub zero temps aren't the...

awesome! Thanks guys!!

I used too be a very religious Zaino user and while looking through my collection of products stumbled upon a bottle of their leather in a bottle leather conditioner and it smells AMAZING! I don't use Zaino anymore and have been using all sorts of different leather conditioners, but now am...

Awesome work, even more awesome car! Now I'm not doubting or even questioning the reasoning behind the design of the car, but that wheel to fender gal in the front is HUGE!! Rear is nice and close to tucked, but the front looks like off road clearance, lol

Here's a pic, hard to capture, lol

I'm working on a Trailblazer and it's been a gravel queen it's entire life! The driver's side window has a ton of vertical scratches from the gravel scratching the window as it went up and down the last 10 years. I can just barely feel the scratches with my fingernail.. What do you all...
