    Is this enough OPM's for SMR?

    I have a WEN 8400opm RO buffer. 8400 seems a little fast for me, and I have always heard that a speed of 7-8 on the PC is good for SMR, so wouldnt this be powerful enough? Or is it too powerful? BTW: its 1.8 amps.

    SG hazing?

    I recently used Klasse on a red F-150 SC. I applied 2x AIO with 1x SG on top. I buffed the SG using the wet towel method (1 wet to remove and, 1 dry to buff) It came off easily, as usual but left a haze in some places. I tried several QD's and even put another coat of SG on top and the haze...

    S on Z?

    Okay... question. So what if I topped the Zaino on my dark red Volvo (2x Z1, 3x Z2) with Souveran. I know this takes away the layering property of Zaino, but will it work? Who has done it with good results? The reason I ask is I love the shine Zaino produces, but the depth and glow Souveran...

    American Shine vs. Zymol Carbon vs. Pinnacle Souveran

    Well, I had bad light and had to use my gold car, so pictures made it hard to judge which is better. IMHO, the Zymol had the best shine on this color, however on my black and dark red cars Souveran is far superior, shine wise. The "American Shine" kit I recieved for free in the mail seemed a...
