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

    Got mine today. Trigger would stick on almost as if some debris was caught in the housing. I kept working it and it eventually it loosened up. All of the issues with the last one are not present in this one. Going to put it to work tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    Metal polish for Harley

    I had posted another question in the MC forum but didn’t get many responses. The engine cases on my HD Roadglide have the white corrosion coming up through the coating. Any thoughts on how to detail these?

    Ceramic (type) quick spray?

    I use and like The Last Coat 2.0. I have it on 2 vehicles and have been using Beadmaker on top of it. Crazy depth and gloss. I’ve been using TLC 2.0 on my interiors and I love it! Makes the interior look new not polished. It has the same sheen as it did from the factory. Cleans up effortlessly

    Facebook Detailing group?

    My favorite was the guy on the AG FB page stating he had recently returned to detailing and wondered where people bought their products. The reply? “Wouldn’t it be cool if a company that sold detailing products created a FB page where people could talk about detailing?” Oh wait....

    Griots g9 broken?

    I’ll weigh in in this again. My original G9 failed and was replaced. Haven’t used it as of yet but I have my fingers crossed. When I used the first one, I was kinda of impressed with the lack of stalling. This was with the 6” plate and 6.5” boss pads. While waiting for the replacement, I bought...

    I unfortunately drew short straw. Mine arrived the other day. I spun it up with no load and the speed would oscillate. I switched cord but made no difference.
