It also can cut Rupes pads. Edit: I wanted to point out that because autopia does not carry the punch set I did not link where you can purchase the set. I am sure with a little google work it wouldn`t be hard. I just wanted to make that clear before anyone asks questions. Happy...

The type of savings you can have with the punch kit: Overall, I think this a very handy kit for anyone that likes using smaller pads. It will take some time to recoup some of your money, but in the end it could be well worth it. The entire kit is currently on sale for $249.99 or you can...

Since the 3" pads are a little bit smaller than the normal 3" Meg pads I was told that you can use the 3" punch to cut the BP of the Rupes Mini. Luckily I saved my warped 3" BP B). After cutting: How it fits with the newly cut 3" pad: Compared to an original 3" Megs pad: Cut BP...

When I heard about Meguiar`s discontinuing their 3" pads, I became really disappointed. I couldn`t believe that such a great product wasn`t a hot commodity, but that is business. Then I heard rumors about a punch set being made that could allow for me to make my own 3", 2", and even 1" pads by...

The owner of this vehicle has been a friend of mine through the Saleen Club for some time. I am extremely grateful for his business and be able to call him my friend. This is the fourth vehicle I have done for him and we are already planning on a fifth for his son. He loves Fox Body Mustang`s...

Don`t be this guy! Corvette Leaving Car Meet Shouldn't Have Had A V8, Crashes

This is a recent detail of mine. It is a friends car with Lacquer OEM paint that is extremely faded and dried. I used a number of different products including Meg`s #7 Glaze to help bring back some of the paints luster. Unfortunately it wasn`t enough and needed to be compounded using my Rupes 15...

It really is! I had my doubts when I first heard of the product coming out. I thought it was pointless and would cause me to "over polish" cars, but boy was I wrong. I am not saying it is a substitute for other polishers, but I can get away with just the Nano and my 15 Mark II on a vehicle. It...

Just when I thought I had my boat pricing dialed in, roughly $30/ft for exterior buffing, I get thrown a serious curveball. This gentleman would like me to wash, buff, remove mildew from 3 areas (rear, cabin, and front bow), and wax his sunsation boat. I believe it is a 32 foot boat, but the...

Is there any way possible we could get a "Autopia Car Care" computer background for autopia.org members?

Has anyone else had problems with receiving their recent order? I placed an order Mon. 11/30 and I have yet to receive any type of shipping information. Called twice on two different occasions and seperate days, and was told it was packed and being shipped that day. C'mon guys, you are better...

I am polishing a classic car at the moment that has had a lot of body work and some really sketchy wetsanding. So much body work that my paint thickness gauge can't even read the fenders. I have also noticed that the doors and trunk have been wetsanded by hand, but the fenders haven't. But...

Trying to weigh some pros/cons with some wireless headphones or earbuds and wondering what everyone recommends. I have a set of Klipsch S4's that have great sound quality and fit, but they are wired and really get in my way when I am polishing or working in the yard. I have looked into the...

A friend of mine is trying to win a trip to SEMA with his Rx7, but he needs people to vote for him. We can vote once a day. So come on guys vote away and lets send my buddy Phil to SEMA! Philip Sohn - PASMAG Tuner Battlegrounds

I am debating pulling the trigger on a Bendpak MD-6XP (FREE SHIPPING ) in the next couple of weeks. I think it would be a good investment not only for detailing, but also anything mechanical I would like to do. I don't really have the expertise to work on transmissions so if I can't, it is no...

Well after seeing a post on Facebook from Renny Doyle in regards to something new coming from Flex at Sema this year. I figured I would start a thread speculating any of the new products that could be released. Observations so far..... From Flex: With the release of the Pe8 I am wondering what...

I am in the middle of detailing an awesome '93 Cobra and noticed the emblems on it. I was wondering if anyone new what it was or have to get rid of it?

I received the Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner in a Flex Kompakt kit I bought a while back and after using it I felt compelled to do a review. Wolfgang Pad Werks: Description (from ACC): Wolfgang Concours Series provides exceptional car care by combining precise engineering with...
