Its just the salt based softeners that are outright banned. My lake cabin uses a pelican combo non salt based softener and it works great.

Sounds fair, I would recommend making sure both you and the person doing it are clear on what your expectations are and what can be provided.

I have used Kamikaze Zipang coating on a few cars now and the application is extremely user friendly. The self healing is real but is limited to extremely light marring. The main thing to know with it is the bottle only lasts a few months once opened so I try to have a couple cars lined up for...

Makes sense, I actually went to the physical location while on a trip this week for my sisters university graduation. The shop was closed on 2 days despite it being during their stated business hours. I was disappointed as I wanted to pick up some of their polishes while out here.

Thank you for the response. I'm guessing it was the fungus or like you said with the metal melting into the clear which could make sense with all of the construction going on here!

I ended up going with the Zipang coating for the owner so hopefully that will protect the car from getting that stuff again in the future. The car was absolutely filthy and for a car of that price I was actually quite shocked the owner had not done more to take care of it.

This would be my first time ever seeing it if in fact that is what it was. They are painted by Imperiale and generally have a good amount to work with correction wise. I was able to get it done but definitely want to figure out a less invasive way to deal with this if I ever come across it in...

I just googled artillery fungus, It looked very similar.

Thank you for the feedback. I took a picture but its blury and just looks like black spots. I thought the same thing when it did not respond much to the aggressive clay which has never let me down before. I used gyeon tar remover and iron x which had minimal effect. I ended up just hitting the 2...

Hey all I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on this paint cleansing dilemma I am currently having. Its a white Aventador that has by far the most horrific bonded contamination I have ever seen. I started with regular wash then Iron decon and the car went from white to purple! I clayed...

I told my girlfriend this is the last polisher I order I swear!!! Still waiting on my pe14 to get here and now ordering the long neck kit!

Honeydew all the way! If you want quicker shipping order from ag through Amazon I always get my stuff to California in 3 days that way or put upgrade me to 3 day shipping in the instructions box on here and I think they do it for free for Western US customers.

I love my pe-8 so far especially with the 2 inch pads I have been able to polish areas I never considered doing by machine before. It also really opened my eyes to how much power the rotaries have. I just ordered a pe-14 and cant wait to try it out with the 7 inch pads for large panels. I also...

Bring me the Horizon-Blessed with a curse

I have used Chemical Guys Nonsense at 10:1 with great results but my favorite is meguiars leather cleaner/conditioner. I haven't run into anything that those two were not able to handle. On a youtube channel I watch the detailer uses super degreaser on leather and says he hasn't had any problems...

my brother in law had a bearing issue with his gg15 when they first came out but he was sent a new one and it has been running strong with no problem except for melting a griots interface pad. I love my rupes 15 if that's what you decide to get but regardless which tool there are so many things...

I have the PE-8 and even with that you have to make sure not to squash the pads when using the 1 inchers so I would think that would be even more of an issue with the pe14 not that it cant be done it would just require more attention to make sure the pad isn't getting squashed. I have used 3...

yeah I don't think the pe-8 is meant for pads larger than 4 inches. The flex 3 inch pads are tapered so the contact area is closer to 4 inches. As far as sanding I think you would need to use a DA for that or by hand, I haven't used a rotary for sanding.

I started with a Harbor Freight DA and with a 20% off coupon that can always be found online ended up costing me less than fifty bucks. It has lasted me several years with no issues. Just a backup idea to the gg6.

Price aside I think the ibrid nano is going to be pretty awesome since it can switch between rotary and da modes so you get the best of both.
