I decided to take it up a notch. Makita 9227 rotary I have been reading about the rotary for about 6 months...well, seriously reading. There is only 1 thing i dont know yet, in all the threads ive read (hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of threads) everyone asks about the pads...

I think my garage hates me as much as my car does, geesh, i just cant win! I come home today from work and walk into my garage like i always do when i get home and what do i find? A lake! Well today we had a big thaw and on one side of my garage the ground is level with the base of the...

Where can i find these OTC?

I am interested about using acrylic sealants on my car now. Its gonna be a hard switch for me since im a nuaba lover through and through. I seen that Jeffs Werkstatt is pretty popular around here. So i searched the C&B section and fell in love with the look of it immediately. I dont understand...

My *Home Depot 3-2-1* book says to tape down a 4'x4' sheet of some kind, dosent really say what it is or where to get it. How do i test for moisture?

My brother stopped over when i was about half way through and took some pics, thought maybe i will post them. First thing i had to do was remove this dog kennel......thing. I think i built it to a decent size. 9' long, 35" wide, 45" tall. The top is 3/4" 5 ply plywood. Me...

Seems like everyone has 6.5" pads or 7" pads. I think 5" or 5.5" would be best for the PC if i could just find them.

Well i havent actually used it yet. I ordered 2 grit guards and 1 gilmour foam gun from danase. Tracking down brass quick connects was not as easy as i thought it would be. All i could find where shut off valves and plastic quick connects. What i wanted was a quick connect with a shut off...

example: I wash them by hand with dawn. Then i set them up on there sides to dry. Almost 4 days later they feel totaly dry. So i put them back in their ziplock bags and put them away. 2 weeks later: For no apparent reason i take a pad out of its bag and feel it. I find it to still be damp...

Got my truck ready for winter. The old girl needed some TLC something fierce. It had never really been taken care of by the first 2 owners and the first 7 years of its life it belonged to a roofer who obviously didnt care what it looked like but kept it in mechanicly perfect shape so i cant be...

This pad was used on 1 fender of a truck, 20 minutes total. Washed with dawn and room temp water. Was not wrung dry or even squeezed. Air dried standing up. This pad at least made it through a full vehicle, a GMC Jimmy s10. Washed and dried the same way as the first one. Both...

3 days ago i had about 2 hours on my hands so i decided to wash, clay, polish (#83,#80) and seal my tail gate. I didnt have time to do the whole truck, its a big truck. Then last night i did the same thing to the sides of the bed. In the next 4-5 days im gonna do the crew cab and front...

This is one cool little bugger right here! First i used it on my rims but couldnt get a good before or after pic. So i did my girls rims. These rims looked this way since the day she bought it 5 years ago and since then she has lived on a dirt road. The only cleaning they ever gotten was...

I started this thread explaining my problem. http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=77602 What i think i need to do at this point is find an even finer polish than #82 to remove this haze i STILL have. Not sure what to use. Is there anything OTC that i can get possibly? Ordering online...

Well i polished my car finally and now i have a bit of a problem. I used megs #83 and then followed it up with #80. I still have hazeing :( To make matters worse i already waxed with #26 :( I spent 18 hours over the course of 3 days fully detailing my car top to bottom. My car is in the...

DACP is a fantastic polish and does great at removeing swirls and imperfections with the PC. I have done over 10 cars with #83, #80 and #82 I am just sick of how hard DACP is to use. Not user freindly at all. I finally got around to doing my own car this weekend and even took a half day friday...

Ive been using simple green but its just isnt turning my cheese wheel any more. I use SG to clean my driveway, garage floor, wheels, tires, wheel wells, engine bays, the sideing on my house etc. What is the strongest i can buy OTC?

As many of you know the miata is a small car. This particular miata has some SERIOUS swirls and spiderwebing. I am not sure what the year is or any specifics other than its a dark green, but that dosent really matter at this point. She is selling the car and wants it lookin the best i can get...
