Hey guys, I am ordering the Makita very soon and am looking at some backing plates. A very trustworthy Autopian recommended the 5 3/4" BP to use with my 6.5" pads. Problem is I cant find that size anywhere. Autogeek recommends the 4 7/8" BP for use w/ 6.5" pads. Has anyone here used...

Which should I get?? Metabo is a little smaller and a pound lighter. Makita is a little cheaper and HIGHLY regarded around here. What are your opinions? Thanks Jim

Hey guys, Today I decided to *finally* clean the truck as its been getting dirtier and dirtier everyday. As I was washing I came upon two small paint chips. Not exactly sure how they got there. A door would have hit the wheel flares, a rock wouldnt have hit there I dont think, so Im pretty...

Hey everyone, I was just thinking about this. What ingredients are in our favorite tins of carnauba wax? Obviously I know there is *some* carnauba wax, but what are the other ingredients that make up a can of wax. I find it very hard to find out what ingredients are in the waxes...

Hey everyone, Today i used XMT 360 on a black jaguar. I was quite impressed with its correction abilities, or maybe just filling abilities?? Anyways, I finished up the car and went out in the sun to take a look. I noticed 4 or 5 holograms mostly on the doors of both sides of the car...

Hey guys, was wondering something. How often do you use your mf applicator for wax before you toss them? My pads seem to build up with wax and after 2 or 3 uses and they dont seem like they would be safe on paint. I wash every pad after each use. If you guys dont throw them out after a...

I am looking for small 3 oz. sample bottles (walmart) of HTEC PG, or IP. I have OP and OC, SSR 2, SSR1 and SFX-2 for trade. I will do either 1 or 2 3oz. sample bottles. Let me know if you guys are interested. I believe a single 3oz. bottle would be enough for most cars. I know 3 oz. of...

Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone has done this and what their results were. I was wondering if you could use the XMT pad conditioner with SSR 2.5? I know your not supposed to prime your pad with anything other than the 2.5, but the bottle of xmt says it will not affect the...
