    A couple questions ...

    So I've read and researched for the last few days, and I have a few questions: 1.) For brand new, less than 100 miles on the car type of leather, 2013 model car, am I correct in understanding that all it takes to keep it nice and soft, prevent cracking, etc. are damp MF wipe-downs with...

    Any experience with Kia paint?

    Anyone have any experience with a newer Kia, specifically a 2012-2013 Optima? Trying to gauge how hard or soft the paint is. Also, I was told the dealership put something to protect the paint and interior called "Polysteel" .. anyone heard of this and, if so, what is it?

    Griot's Garage 6" Polisher: Current state of affairs

    So everyone pretty much knows the GG6 is one of the most powerful DA's on the market. I've been a longtime proponent of them, and have used them to create great results. Along the way, a few hiccups have occurred that I took as isolated incidents, but I'm rethinking the quality of the...

    HD Speed Durability Test

    So on Saturday, the 16th, I had three Camry's over to apply Speed on all of them. They are all daily drivers, and I thought this would be a good test for durability. It looks like it will be raining here for the next two or three days so that's actually a good thing for this test. Basically I...

    A few thoughts about HD Speed

    I've gone through almost an entire bottle of it, so I think my observations have some merit. First off, it does provide an amazing shine to any paint, and is very easy to use, a little goes a long way, and every other good thing said about it. Now for the uncertain part. I wanted Speed to...

    Review: HD Polish and HD Speed vs. two Lambo's

    First up is the current record holder for "King of the Street", a twin turbo Gallardo. I tried HD Polish first on an H20 cyan and it wasn't enough, so I tried 205 and that did the trick perfectly. I followed with HD Speed on an H20 cyan Next up is an orange...

    Review: HD Speed/Polish vs Porsche Panamera

    The Porsche was is very bad shape when I got it, very deep RIDS, swirls, scratches, scuffs, you name it, it had it, and a lot of it. I decided to go with Megs MF cutting discs and D300, thinking it would finish down well enough to only need one polishing step. When I got the car AFter...

    Review: HD UNO, HD Speed

    So I got an old car to work on, a 1962? Thunderbird. The hood was recently painted, couple fenders, doors, and fastback cover were single stage, while the rest was clear coated. It was a total nightmare and it didn't have to be 100% perfect (nor was that really possible in the time frame I...

    HD Uno v4, HD Polish, and HD Speed review (pic heavy!)

    So I ordered and received the following HD products; Uno v4 Polish Speed Poxy I didn't get around to trying the Poxy yet, so I'll review that later. The bottles are very nice, and I'll add they are quite heavy to me (32oz). My only bottle complaint is the dispenser cap, I wish they'd...

    Duragloss users...

    How do you guys use the polishes like 501,105, etc? Straight from the bottles or do you put it in another bottle? Like a spray bottle or squeeze bottle?

    Megs MF pad and backing plate destroyed

    I THINK I read a while back where a few had issues with the MF cutting pads coming apart. However, last night, after about 15 minutes of polishing, my Megs backing plate heated up so much that it melted, causing the back of the MF pad to heat up and melt, and they both melted together. I had...

    Removing swirls/scratches in and around emblems?

    How are you guys doing this, and what are you using? I've tried smaller pads and foam pads by hand with little to no luck at all.

    Griot's 6" Polisher failed on me, their customer support rocks!

    Stopped working without any signs of it failing or anything. On the plus side, I called Griot's and they just send it back and we'll replace it, no problem, I didn't even buy it from them. So, for that outstanding customer service, I will pick up another one for a spare! btw I did change...

    My Review: Griot's 6" DA, Hydrotech pads, ONR

    Griot's 6" - no question it has more power than any PC, and nears the power of my Makita 9227c, at least it feels like it. Performs flawlessly. My only gripe is that my hands tingle due to vibration, mainly my left hand which holds the handle or orbital area, so I take frequent breaks. Also...
