    Need Some Help: Polishing problem....

    I'm working on a Camaro, with some very very odd clear... The clear is extremely hard, it's taking a rotary @2500 rpm with a LC 4" Yellow pad and Ultimate Compound to even begin removing 3000 grit scratches... When I'm finished with that combo, I have holograms. I'll follow up with...

    Breaking down a pure polish

    Is it possible to break down a pure polish like Meguiars #7 Glaze? Would it be beneficial to work that with a pad with no mechanical ability until it has "broken down" to burnish the paint/jewel?

    Wagner 905 Steamer

    Has anyone used or is using one of these units? They are made for wallpaper but seem to have steam on demand with a push button setup... Just wondering how powerful they really are, and if they are worth having. Or, if I would be better off investing in an expensive steam unit... I did a...

    Back to Black.... Really Disappointed...

    Was anyone else really disappointed with the Mother's Back to Black stuff? I bought this expecting more from it apparently... seems like a let down... I ended up just putting the bottle away and using Meguiars Natural Shine on the cowl area...

    My New Rig

    I would never let a client see me in this thing. I just use it for hauling my own stuff. I've taken all the decals off, and its fairly clean. All together, I've got $400 tied up in this little machine. I love it.

    Need some professional Input.

    I finished painting my hood and spoiler about 2 months ago, and now I'm ready to wetsand and buff them as there is a good bit of orangepeel in the paint... It has 3 coats of clear, that way we could safely remove an entire coat during the sanding process and still be safe. Its rather...

    $12 Shipped for 200g Clay Bars?

    I'm not sure where everyone buys their Clay Bars at, but I'm finding a place that does them at $11.96 shipped per bar, or they will do bulk orders and cut the cost on shipping as well... So its possible to get them at around $10.50 for a 200g bar of mild or aggressive clay... Does this seem...
