    Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    Most of the plastic bumper parts are not even painted in the same factory or at the same time as the main body of the car. They get bolted on pre-painted.

    This Pollen Thing!

    I use FK425 detail spray during the spring pollen months. I have been using it for probably 10 years. Probably better ones out there, but FK425 has been easy and does help repel the dust. More will blow up when you start driving. I liked the Kenotek detail spray but I only tried one bottle...

    Body Shop Left Buffer Marks

    Yes, they would work. You should be able to remove them with a white polishing pad.

    Disinfecting auto interior

    SprayNine APC would be a good choice. Works well on interiors. No ill affects.

    Turtle Wax Hybrid Spray Coating - Are the reviews misleading?

    Funny how many people that haven't tried it have such a strong feeling about it. I am at 3 months with TW HS AIO and then 2 layers of the spray seal and there is no noticeable degradation so far. It is still slick feeling and the beads look the same when the car is clean. No maintenance...

    Mother’s CMX is here!

    The TW Hybrid Solutions spray seal blows CMX out of the water. And its cheaper.

    Any plans for Flex compact positive-drive orbital polisher?

    Tony, I own a Festool RO90DX. The DA offset is smaller than normal. Its not 8mm. I think it is 5mm, maybe even 3mm. So it acts more like a jiggling rotary. So the rotary PRM and the DA OPM are a little amped up to compensate. It also makes it easier to handle which is what you need on...

    Any plans for Flex compact positive-drive orbital polisher?

    Twice the price of a G8 sounds reasonable to me.

    Any plans for Flex compact positive-drive orbital polisher?

    There is a Festool compact gear driven sander/polisher. 3.5 or 4'" pads. It is expensive > $500.

    2008 Honda CRV - Never had a wax a single coat of wax or sealant!

    Good process. Your after shots prove it.

    1950 Panel Delivery - From neglected to respected

    I bet the curves on a classic car are better to learn how to machine polish properly than the mainly flat panel cars we have today.

    What's in the box? Griots G8 Mini Random Orbital Polisher by Mike Phillips

    Mike, I've never seen a photo of the G8 next to the GG3. Even the griots website doesn't have one. Could you please take a photo of the 2 side by side? Just curious.

    And then... There was a G8 (Polisher)

    Make sure that the cord is pushed in all the way. There are people finding out that it takes more force than what they thought for the cord to fully seat.

    Hey Mike Phillips...

    Wear gloves though. That stuff does a number on my hands.

    Hey Mike Phillips...

    The Megs Wash Plus+ is very similar to a Comet wash if you have any of that on hand (obviously milder). Like a softscrub for the paint. I used it on a single stage red Tacoma that was oxidized. I am convinced it removed a lot of oxidation (I could see it in the mitt) and made the first...

    Newb — need help with weird haze on metallic trim :)

    That looks like water mineral deposits. Powerclean won't hurt it but I don't think it will remove either.

    Compound to use once a year by hand

    Megs UC is what I will usually use on areas that need to be done by hand.

    Aren't the SONUS polishes designed for hand use.

    Best finishing product for red/maroon

    Powerlock always looked good on red to me. WG Fuzion also looks good on red.

    Should I Purchase a Jet Black Metallic Car ?

    Depends on your personality. I have owned 3 black cars in a row. The last 2 were not on purpose, they were just really good deals where color choice was not an option. If you are the type that will be obsessive about not seeing anything, even dust settling, on the just cleaned car then NO. A...
