Biatch its an easy job and well worth it with real effects. Id clean the cheap grease out for sure. But really not a big deal to scoop it out, cram new stuff in, and slap it back together - maybe :20 if yer handy. I advise a little loctite on everything to hold it tight afterwards and in fact...

Agreed. No issues w/ 5" for me.

Lol. Thanks man thats great. Yeah my towels got real well conditioned when I tried WOWO. Expensive towels now! So you 2nd the previous suggestion to apply 3-4 panels then wipe the first, and then continue the apply one / wipe one pattern. Thanks to everybody for responding, even if theres...

Interesting to see a vote for the quick WOWO. And yep yer assumption doesn't need to be an assumption - I can confirm it's like trying to rub off a light coat of housepaint if you leave it too long. Agreed! My spaces are no air and dust controlled pro detailing spaces unfortunately. Once in...

That's great feedback Mike - its just about exactly what I found worked well... its just the WOWO instructions they provide sounds like "immediately" vs. a little bit of 'brief set time' even if its not a 'full haze time'. Only prob was when the wife interrupted me and that's when I came back...

Been using Pete's 53 over previously sealed cars (Klasse and BFWD) and to be honest I find if I just WOWO, it almost seems like there's minimal effect - aka like it's all just wipin' right back off again! A lot of work (and $$) to be spending on not much result... If I let it sit on the paint...

Sorry - yeah - using the HFT DA, w/ a quality 5" backing plate & 5.5" hex type pads. My flaws are pretty similar to your truck pics (I know I should get some photos and post... will try to do that...) Yeah I guess I was afraid of going into too hard of a "rubbing compound" on a clearcoat...

Trying to get my hands around products and tricks for some heavy compounding, hoping for some good tips or input.. here's the situation: Car: Vehicle is my 'test bed' beater - a 15yr old Audi wagon that was paint neglected most of its' life. Since falling into my ownership for the last 5yrs...

Just emphasize on the EP part... :xyxthumbs: FWIW this is what I ended up w... functionally and chromatically the same as the Sta-Lube (which O-reilly's or not, is widely available anyway but I suspect there's a lot of red EP greases that are all the same...) The very high temp drop point...

well as I said - I have no interest in the handle except for awkward angles where another way to hold/guide it is helpful, aka reaching across a roof for instance. has nothing really to do w/ pushing too hard or pushing at all really... Sorry, again, don't get me wrong there was plenny of...

Hmmm. Not a great result today. First real try at using the machine (did the grease change before a true test run...) Head gets hot as hell with any kind of use, and my grease started to leak out every time it hit a certain temp (grease was a semi-syn supposedly good for high-temp...

Well I just finished doing the grease lube to one of these, and it was super easy. One heads up I'd share is about the typical HFT quality of the fasteners - the flathead phillips screws that hold the shroud on were partially head-stripped (aka the screwdriver slots stripped not the threads)...

Thanks for review - I am still searchin for a solid glass cleaner... I recently tried IG for the first time and unfortunately for it, I'd tried the Meg's consumer stuff previously which must be a watered down version of D120 I guess. Man I don't get the lubz people have for IG - for me it just...

OK after getting tons of info from this forum for a long time as a lurker and buyin stuff from AG, its time to end the lurk-mode and maybe post something once in a while! Me: Non-pro, in Mass, 4-5 cars in the household to take care of, used to wax my cars from time to time but never thought I'd...
