    Is LHR15 Mk II + Duetto +Mini pointless?

    Just recently got the 15, quite enamored with it, the whole Rupes system for that matter. Still a ways to go on technique to maximize effectiveness but it`s really a treat nonetheless. The recent gift certificate sales have left me in a place where I could add a Duetto and a Mini to the group...

    Pad storage...

    Found an old thread that showed these, tracked some down and they work quite nicely for pad storage. Can fit about 12-14 5.5 and 6" pads in there, likely the larger 7" too as dimensions are 8.875 inches H x 9.625 inches W x 16.625 inches L. They stack nicely as well. Probably enough room that...

    Megs Microfiber cutting discs work well as...

    WG DGPS 3.0 and curing temperature...

    Starting to use some stuff that I bought and never got around to using this summer and one of those things in WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. Have a place (work) that is a dry warehouse (and plenty of vehicles to mess around with) so that`s not an issue but we sure don`t leave the heat on all...

    Gyeon Trim and intricate trim pieces...

    Was gonna coat all the black plastic trim using Gyeon Trim; pieces are kinda intricate (for lack of a better word) and wondering best approach. Can certainly get to all the nooks and crannies using the foam tipped detailing sticks but it`ll likely take more time than it takes the Gyeon Trim to...

    Tuf Shine Tire Clearcoat

    Tuf Shine Noticed the Tuf Shine product recently, figured I’d give it a shot so I wouldn’t have to mess with Tire Dressings that immediately disappear in the rain. Overall, good initial impressions of results, if the durability is as advertised it will have been worth the time…lotsa time, that...
