    Can #16 follow FPII?

    I have a silver Mercedes to work on today and was planning on just using #80 and #16. Lately, I have been impressed with how reflective FPII with OCW comes out. I wanted to try adding more depth so I thought FPII and #16 would do it. I only have the car for one day so I can't layer sealant...

    Need a new backing plate for PC?

    What backing plate do you prefer the flexible or Meguiars? I was going to get a 5" because most of my pads are 6.5" or less. However, I do have two 7.5" pads that I'm concerned will need a 6" backing plate. I'd rather not spend the extra money for the 6", but I will if it is going to lead to...

    Reduce dusting from PG?

    I've read a number of you mist the pad or do a 70/30 mix with RMG. I don't have RMG and don't want to place an order for just one item. Has anyone tried mixing PG with anything else to cut down on dusting? I currently have VM, AIO, 80, FPII, & PwC in my polishing arsenal.

    Has anyone gone to Zaino's (NJ)?

    I have some free time this week so figured I'd save the shipping cost and just drive up (1 hr away). I don't know if they have a brick and mortar store for customers or if they are just online/mail/phone order based. I figured I'd pick Sal's brain in the process. Then again I may just do an...

    Anyone use a ozone generator?

    I used a home version ozone generator in my car and it removed a mildew smell for several months. I have a few jobs coming up that are asking to help with cigarette smoke. I found one online a little cheaper than most and wanted to know if anyone has had experience with it...

    Anyone use a temp gun?

    After attending a Meguiars workshop, I'm tempted to buy more tools/toys. Now I know a temp gun isn't necessary, but they are pretty handy. Anyone have experience with Raytek Minitemp MT4 or MT6? http://www.infrared-usa.com/ProductList.aspx?CategoryID=4158

    Pay professional to clean home carpets?

    I've been told that the retail carpet cleaners (bissels, eureka, hoover, etc) even supermarket rental carpet cleaners can't clean your carpets like a professional can. Is this true? The carpet has some pet stains/odors that the OTC pet stain cleaners can't seem to get out. Anyone have...

    Help removing baked on mud from vinyl top?

    After four wheeling, a co-worker of mine let the mud bake into his vinyl top for 3 weeks. He's tried scrubbing it with over the counter vinyl cleaner, carpet cleaner, and APC, but still has not been able to get it all off. Is there anything else we can try to remove the mud stains? I have...

    Need an easy to use compound?

    I've worked on a number of well maintained cars, but lately I've been getting a lot of poorly maintained (mommy mobiles). I prefer to use my PC (more experience/comfort)but I will take out the rotary on very difficult jobs. I've found that even with my rotary (1500 rpm), cutting pad, and PB...

    Which one Valentine 1, Bel RX 65, and Escort X50?

    I'm stuck between the same 3: Valentine 1, Bel RX 65, and Escort X50. When it comes down to it they are all great and will do the job. So I guess I'm just looking for the best bang for the buck. I really don't want to spend the extra money for the V1, but I know you die hard V1 fans love the...

    Anyone from Delaware?

    My wife and I have been considering a possible move from South Jersey to Delaware because of a possible job offer. When we priced out houses online we were blown away by how much house you can get and how low the property taxes are. We are unfamiliar with the area and would like to find a...

    Any electricians out there?

    One of my outlets outside wasn't working so I took the cover off and found that it wasn't connected. :think: :confused: I decided to replace it with a new GFI outlet and it worked. The next day I went into the garage to plug in my PC and it wasn't working, the outlet was dead. I turned off...
