Now that the 7424 XP has been out a few days has anyone done a comparrison between it and the original UDM? Just as powerful? Not as powerful ? Bout equal?

I saw a thread somewhere and be darned if I can find it again.... There is supposed to be a new revised 7424 out thats more powerful .. Porter Cable site doesn't show it ... anyone have any info on it and is it on the market now? And if so from who? TYIA.

Got to use the Recardo clay over the last few days. Very impressive .. it was still in the 40s F and I had no problem keeping it pliable. I have used the Mothers , Clay Magic and the Zaino clay and it seems to outperform them all . Stayed very tacky throughout. I used it with Megs Last Touch QD...

What ratio is being used when a Woolite/water solution is being used in the Little Green Machine? I'm starting to find the store bought solutions a little $$ up here. TYIA. BTW I did a search but came up with a billion things to wade through.

Currently when we do a detail part of the process is we inspect the car after the wash/claybar process to identify any areas that need attention for polishing out scratches etc. Some cars have a lot and are hard to remember so what we do is mark each spot with a small piece of masking tape...

Anyone tried the Bug & Tar wash from Chemical Guys? Does it perform like advertized? Excellent for dried, squashed bugs on windshields, grilles, hoods, bumpers and headlights. Dried bug fluids and bug bodies are difficult to remove. Quick and easy way to loosen debris and wash them...

I just got my package of 3 bars .. seems to be good .. anyone have opinions on it .. Same texture as the Mothers I have ..

I have read a bunch of threads and watched a couple of vids on it but I'm wondering how you deal with wheels / tires using it? My sole use would be for car cleanup if it rains on the way to a car show etc. and the dirtiest part is going to be the wheels/tires. Wouldn't drying the...

Even tho it looked niffty this was well abused and scratched up We polished all the black with a yellow pad and a 50/50 mix of Optimum Hyper and Compound then followed with a white pad and Opt. Polish. Next was PoliSeal on a white pad followed by #21. The green got Polish on a...

Well so far the bottle has lasted well .. I have documented 30 applications from a bottle and I estimate enough to do a couple more mid sized sedans. Pretty tough to beat the ease of use, looks, duration and $$ per bottle. Works out to +/- $0.65 per car.

I tried the search but its broken. Have any of the members tried Wet Paint Glaze? I'm not really interested in opinion of those who haven't .. I have my own opinion and its pretty negative.. hell I won't even use the products like QEW etc. Would just like to hear fron those that...

I have used a few other brands of clay bar clay so I'm familiar with what they look/feel like.I got some Blackfire Poly Clay 11 today and to mee it felt hard and not pliable like the rest .. it seems very hard to kneed or pull to get a new surface. Is this normal for this brand? I did try...

Besides the speculation etc has anyone ever got a difinitive answer out of Meguiars if NXT can be layerd? Even in the Megs forums I can't get an answer. Here was my question to the Meguiars forum Can either of these be effectively layered. I know you can keep applying but is there...

I'm currently in the process of prepping my wheels for summer. After a thorough wash then AIO x1 ( well actually Poliseal ) then its SG x 4. I am applying the SG one morning and removing it the next and applying the second layer etc. Got to thinking .. seeing the SG is cured...

I have posted this in a couple spots and thought it might be useful pix here. For some of you southern folk who have never seen rail dust here is a few pix .. Rail dust originally got its name because cars were shipped on open rail cars and the filings off the rail car wheels and...

History : This is an 06 BMW SUV that belongs to a regular customer of mine. I taught him how to wash & dry the car properly. The car is night garaged but spends Mon/Fri out in the elements here in a smelter town so its a little harsh. I don't have pix but the gloss isn't important its the...

1995 F 355 with 22,000 K ( 12,200 miles ) .. got to drive it too... Did it with Optimum Polish then Opt PoliSeal followed by #21 then SG the next day. Its single stage paint.

New combo I tried today .. car was polished out last week to swirl/scratch free under 1000W halogens and confirmed in the dark with 300W incandecent. Applied #21 X 2 over tha last few days and today I topped it with SG. #21 has a nice wetness too it and depth .. I added the SG to bring up...
