    Is any one else waiting on pads? Best pad choice for BLACKFIRE One Step and 5.5 inch DA?

    I use those pads and have plenty of them for my forced rotation polishers. If you have a free spinning DA and wanting to stay with Lake Country, their thin pads along with their SDO pads are your better choice. The HDO were made specifically for long throw DA's. I converted my PC 7424 to a 3"...

    Anyone like and use 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish?

    Thanks for the response Mike. Yes, it worked fine with the orange pads but didn't provide the cut that I needed. I'll know not to use the grey pads ever with One.

    Anyone like and use 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish?

    Had my second vehicle to work on using 3D One. This time, not so good of an experience. To begin, tools used, Makita PO5000, Grey Lake Country Hybrid Force Pads and 3D One. My not so good experience was that the product was slinging all over the panel I was working on. Running the polisher...

    Instagram - Who is on Instagram? If not, why not?

    Login • Instagram I use it along with Facebook. For me, I’m able to reach a different crowd with it. Normally people I don’t know, younger and or people in the local car scene or community based upon my followers. It also allows me to post video stories and highlights that capture more...

    Anyone like and use 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish?

    Had my first experience with 3D One over the last couple of days and wanted to share my thoughts on the product. Vehicle worked on, 2020 Toyota Corolla in Blizzard Pearl White. Beautiful color and like many has mentioned in other posts, hides defects extremely well. Products used, Makita...

    Can I Get Some Quick Guidance With My New CarPro Products?

    That's good to know! I had purchased the larger size bottle of Spotless and was extremely disappointed. I'll use it to clean wheels now rather than let it go to waste.

    Review: Griot's Garage G8 Headlight Sander

    Mike, thank you for this informative thread just like all your other posts. Question I have for you and others, for long term protection, instead of using a coating of some sort which I've seen offer protection for months to possibly a year, could I wetsand with 6-800 grit and spray with 2K...

    Flex 3401 in Phoenix?

    I do! It's been through the ringer but you are more than welcome to try it out. I also have the Makita PO5000 as well. Didn't become popular like Mike has mentioned in the past but that's my current work horse until I order the Supa Beast.

    BF One Vs 3D Speed

    I noticed the same recently with Speed on two Honda S2000s I worked on. Soft paint and oxidation didn't help the process. Using my Makita PO5000 in force mode, the polisher would walk all over the panel and at some point, "jump" within each section pass. Wether I turned the speed down, used...

    Got Puretec delivering the 14" tank this Friday. Can't wait to use it for the first time. So question I had, to preserve as much DI water as possible, does everyone else use it for final rinse only or what is your process? My thought process would be, rinse like I normally would, wash 2...

    Called Purtec. Waiting on the proposal now to establish service. I plan on going with the smaller tank since I reserve my weekends to work on cars. Unless there's an advantage of going with the larger tank?

    Sorry to ask but do you have pictures of tapping into the water heater for the dedicated line? That sounds like it would make my life easier with this setup!

    The Importance and Value of Weekly Maintenance Customers

    I'll be giving them a call on Monday. I can't wait to not have to worry about drying a car ever again. I have a gun setup as well too, got rid of the wand when I first got the pressure washer and it sure makes life easier. But yes, the process of setting up the PW and putting it away is...
