It's been a long time since I used any of the clearkote products by rotary and I decided to dig out my last bottle and give it a go again (about a year since I used it) For some reason I can't work out how to use it anymore and I keep getting holograms I used to work it until it dissappears...

The other day I thought to myself, why not get a few towels and get a bit of sowing done I had a friend of mum's sow two monster fluffy towels together along with two pakshak ultra plush's and waffle weave drying towels Now the Monster fluffy is an extremely thick easier to use towel with...

Just had someone I've known for ages come around at my request and do a demo of the 500ml toughseal paint protection step 1 pre treatment on a badly swirled and lightly faded MG Rover RV8 green paintwork by hand. we have four of them sitting here at the dream factory. It had not been clayed...

My four year old 9227 has had enough. I reckon the bearings are gone, it's vibrating badly, fighting me, very noisy and not keeping same speed at 1400 rpm. It's going in for a major overhaul but I am wondering what is the recommended maintenance routine for these machines? Once I get it...

How much water are we all using per wash The government and waterless wash companies down here in OZ are saying that a home wash uses 250 to 300 litres. Well maybe that would be if you leave the hose going as you hand wash but I've been seeing how low I can go. Currently down to 50 to 60...

Any opinions on using 601 while polishing Slightly extended working time and colour restoration/enhancement of Sonus SFX 2 and Dinitrol soft polish today on my fathers single stage red MG Midget racecar. Also noticed that buffing in 601only, slightly cleaned the paint but also cleaned the...

Well I found bud's website and although the chemicals dont suit my way of detailing, I like this chemical dispensing system Does any pro here use it. Is it cheaper to just use bottles and have a work cart.

Scottwax motto is reflection is nothing without depth. So on a ten year old car that's been machine polished three times and obviously not as much clearcoat as when new, how does one create that half to one inch of depth? is it all to do with the polishing and then applying a heap of coats...

Some of you know how I am always trying to find the latest cutting edge technology and revolutionary products for personal and pro use and testing as many as I can find because I want to be the leader in australia At the moment I am having trouble finding anything new or that hasn't been...

G'day fellow autopians I am trying to locate an american or canadian supplier of soft 99 color evolution polish/glazes and many of their other products Autobacs in Japan stock it and my friend got me some when he went over there but I only have blue color evolution and want all of them. I...

Is it the same as skin and are the pores always open or do they close also. Finding out how to open and close them and even keep them closed would be the key to eliminating water spotting, improving a sealants ability to bond and cure and durability. Surely if the pores are closed, nothing...

Just did some searches on here for this product but got no matches I am currently using it and would like to know opinions of it, what you have used it on, durability etc Got it from mr pakshak as a replacement for forever black which I hate with a passion First off to re blacken some trim...

I took a gamble and ordered a gallon of 951 aquawax to use on top of several layers of AJT that I applied to my dark blue car. In the past six months I have not used any wax and find the need to use it totally deminished. I wanted to see if I can apply different brands of sealant to get...

Have you found any sealants that prevent acid rain spots? Just curious. My car recently got rained on during a big storm, then I let it dry up and sit in the garage for a week, absolutely covered in road grime, dirt and spots and after washing, found that they didn't leave any etching.

Had some trouble with the 9227 the other day and is becoming a regular problem Whenever using a strong to medium polish like sfx1, OHC and Prima swirl, I do all the proper pad prep steps like spraying with Pad conditioner or CK QS. Apply a 6 inch line of product to first panel, then 4 pea...

This may seem insane but I accidentally found a great way to remove fresh and day or days old bugs from front bumpers and side mirror backings Spray some optimum protectant plus over the area then grab a soft MF towel and slide it across the surface Unlike using a QD, the towel will...

My boss has a lotus elise that he wants me to finesse The hood and door panels are very curvey etc and I am worried about burning a tiny section of paint from outside edge of pad. Not much room for a machine in the middle of hood. What's the best size pad, angle of rotary and advice you guys...

Guys, anyone who has both werkstatt auto body and prima mystique shampoo's, I would like you to mix them 50/50 and wash your car with it I know I absolutely adore the mix (I add a couple natural ingredients for my car as well) but would just like a US DC'ers opinion on it The only stuff that...

Did a presentation last night at a ford dealership (big win for me) for a car club One of the members has a teflon paint protection system on his car, I won't mention the name of the brand (they make a heap of automotive lubricants etc) It turns out that no matter what brand QD he uses, the...
