G'day all Was watching some you tube videos and a podcast from a supposedly industry legend in USA and had to totally disagree with their harsh comments about wool pads Sure wool pads should be a last resort and I use them not as often but wool is still king for paint correction The...

G'day all Lately I've learnt some more things about foam pads and I had thought about microfibre being made into a machine pad some years ago but surbuf was already doing so and now Meguiars have released what could be a superior version of the material David Ghoudassi from OPT said to me...

G'day from Down Under Out of complete shock, I received a formal apology from a moderator of this place in my email box today about my banning from the forum way back in 2007 or 08 for a crime I didnt commit Since then I've moved to DW full time This was where it all began for me way...

During my useage of 106FF I have noticed that it has a way of guiding you through the process It tells when to slow down or speed up via the way it's oils spread For instance - I start at 600 rpm and work it slowly until the oils start spreading really well. Once I notice this, the...

Here's a video I did while working on this Holden Crewcab I made a couple mistakes during it (didn't keep pad 100% flat on surface and moved a little too fast on occasion) but it will let everyone see my technique YouTube - sonus sfx 2 with orange ccs pad

Since 2004 I have been using Menzerna and loving it ever since There are many posts popping up on various forums about help with menz, why isn't it working, yada yada. So I thought it would be good to put down my technique using my makita rotary It's been improved upon alot through the...
