    iso lighting similar to gas stations etc

    I know there have been numerous threads on lighting used for polishing, but my halogens get too hot imo, and are bulky. I think that it would be great if I could put a bulb in a trouble light similar to those in parking lots and gas stations. etc.

    as per meguiars...heat not needed to break down abrasives

    I was just on the Meguiars forum, and it was said that there is no need for heat for the meguiars polishes to break down. i see a great deal of people who use rotarys explain the advantages of the machine come from the heat they generate... hoping someone would comment... In theory, if...

    Hey guys, I have what I think is very soft paint, and have noticed any prewax cleaner causes me to lose the finish PO85RD leaves. Does anyone know of a polish (besides FPII) that leaves a black finish haze free? PO85RD makes the truck look perfect , but I was looking to buy some SONUS...

    Clear Kote's Quik Shine

    ....IS VERY GOOD. As a matter of fact, I think that it is the best QD'r I've used , and have tried almost everything. What I like about it is the fact that it doesn't streak (on Black) and has worked well over Blackfire (synthetic LSP) and Natty's Blue (more traditional carnuba). Some...

    Bug Squash

    Yesterday, I tried Poorboy's Bug Squash for the first time and it works very well (like all of the Poorboy's products I own). I used it on the front of my truck and my father's car (full strength). I sprayed, let it sit for 30 seconds, and had an easier time wiping off the guts than usual...

    bordering on the ridiculous... a little long

    I have been struggling w/ my brand new f-150 (black) since I took it home (w/out dealer prep) about 2 months ago. Actually , I've been struggling with the 100's of dollars of products that I've bought in the past (and recently) micro-marring my paint. I wanted to start using the klasse twins...

    no swirls, but small half round marks on black

    hey guys, would appreciate any help with some half round marks (heard them explained that way) after polishing my truck w/ the pc. I think it was the pad that created them, and seem to be from the vibration of the pad? . I've used polishing , finishing pads, with little to high speed, little to...
