Hello all, I got a good deal today on a 9227c. I visit a local tool shop on a weekly basis to drop off tools we need fixed. I have been wanting to learn how to use a rotary so I thought it was a good idea just to buy a used one to start. I got the idea of asking if the owner who knows me, if...

This is my dad's 08 BMW 135i. When he first bought it he went to Griots garage since they are local for us because he read decent stuff about the products. I have used a few and have not continued using them because there is better out there IMO. Anyways he gets out this water blade. I told him...

Hi all, What product can you guys recommend to get red nice and glossy. I want to top it with Collinite 476 because I have had great results with that product, but I am looking for something that brings out the gloss more! Thanks.

I should be getting a Flex 3401 for xmas and I need to order more pads for it. Is there any benefit to using a larger pad like a 7.5 or 8.5 or will the larger pads not allow the machine to spin to its fullest power. Also does anyone use the Edge pads that AG sells or are the LC pads the better...

Hello, I am in the market for a new polisher. I have a PC 7424. I read the Flex polishers are good polishers so that is why I am looking at those although I am open to other brands as well. How hard are the circular polishers to use. This will be mainly used on a single stage painted car. The...

Hello, I have been lurking here for a while and finally decided to join. I have a 91 BMW M5 in the Brilliant Red color. It is a single stage paint. There is a fair amount oxidation throughout the car. I have a PC 7424 and have used Menzerna IP to try to polish out some of the oxidation. I...
