Just curious...in what applications would you use the Green pad over the white when polishing. Don't own the green but I am thinking about ordering some on my next order. I've yet to use/try the M205/105 and my polishing sessions are primarily 2 steppers/3 steppers (sip/106/85) (106/85)...

just putting my thinking cap on tonight. I was thinking about the dressings I use on faded trim and that's just it -- I am continually *dressing* them. Black Wow for textured trim and Autoglym Bumper Care on smooth dressing. More or less, I don't expect alot on longevity unless it's a garage...

I've been eyeballing the G1 EVP Pad Prime, mainly moreso cause I'm just curious. The only thing holding me back is the buy in price, which is quite steep per volume... 4OZ EVP PAD PRIME Since Ultrafina came out, I've been adding a dab or 2 with SIP when temps add up. And or even other...

Just wrapped after checking out a MB CL series. Is there any cars on the market just short of exotics -- (in which that's not my fancy) that have leather that is not coated ? The closest thing that would be an exotic for my ownership would be a GT2, but that would be gutted anyhow and more a...

alright, who here uses a dedicated tire cleaner ? Hi-Temp Tire Cleaner, EF TIRE Cleaner, etc I bought a couple bottles of Mothers Tire Cleaner eons ago and finally I am down to my last bottle. Never really noticed a difference between Tire Cleaner vs. Meg APC (original blue formula) on...

just some midnight rumblings, as I wait for my Makita to come in.. threw both my Fein and Metabo on the scale. Both had the same backing plate on it. 1 oz difference between the two. Fein weighed in at 5.14 1/2oz and the Metabo at 5 13 1/2 oz. My main factors on using a polisher is...

Dunno if anyone has seen this but for all you Edge fans out there..and I may be wrong, but it looks like they are a ~spinoff~ of products that 3M did not carry over :woot: getiapstuff.com I just LOVE my black Smitt for the wheelweels. Dunno ....if this is the real deal, but I'd figure...

I am on a machine fetish this month... Does anyone have the small air driven Dynabrade Rotary.... I'm looking at the 3" profile unit. Looks like a sweet setup for all those tight little spots..... Inquiring minds would like to know..

there is a minivan I see every now and then in the 'hood. Poor newbie has probably seen a FULL season of summer, fall and now spring with the typical new guy to wax application wax removal remmentn. There is wax that is just caked on that he was not able to remove. We're talking every panel in...

FWIW, currently have a Fein and the Metabo polisher in the stash. I've used the Makita from someone I knew, and I leaning on using a *trigger* style rotary as my primary rotary as I like the feather on/feather off. For all of ya'll runing Mak's, is the bail handle the way to go or the...

Anyone use 85RD with a finer zero cut pad like -- LC Blue, Red or the Concours Yellow. Does it refine even ~better~ with these pads. Been planning to add ~finer~ pads in my stash. Generally user 85RD with LC Grey or Meg Solo Finishing Pad. Methinks, I may be ordering some yellow...

Any of ya'll running a extension on your rotaries The thought has come to mind a couple times - like today when you just want a little extra clearance Like one of these from ADS

I'll admit, I have not done a full search for a thread on the EV Prime, but I'm curious about this pad product... Love 85RD, but I usually throw a little ultrafina into the mix to keep the lube going.... Wondering from fellow non *GI certified detailers*, what your take on it is. No...

My Mytee already has a inline heater. I generally like things *hotter* so what I've done in the past is to take out 2 stock pots.....boil me up some hot water and mix in in with hot water that I've poured from the tap. Which makes things nice and hot..... It's somewhat of a b1$ch in doing...

I was browsing CMA's site in which they offer the LC Constant Pressure Pads. The top halve is of a different density than the pad itself. Marketing gimmick or does the *constant pressure* actually does as it states. Just curious. All my LC pads have been from the 'geek, and it's the same...

Don't get me wrong -- on a weekend night out, I'll throw on a coat of glaze and 'nuba cause I just love the oily look... Unless it's a garage queen *literally*, I have stopped using nuba for the longevity aspects of things. I may have to try 1000P for all the rants and raves, SBEE posts...

I just love my broken in used waffle weave towels. These are super soft and just right on my super soft jet black paint. These are the PakShak Ultrasoft towels. My DerWunder Towels, (being more thicker), I save for the regular paint...but unless they are primed with water (drying the glass...

I stopped using Aquapel on the cars for a year as it annoyed me that it left a hazelike film on the windshield. Slight haze.... Well, I recently did a Aquapel on the glass and all I can say is WHOA. It must be my car wash solution leaving something behind, as there are times I will just wipe...

Here's mine. Swissvax Wheel Brush Various Ace Powersticks Old retireed Sheepskin Mitts Love the Powersticks for getting inside the wheels. Swissvax is TOPS as it soft, yet firm enough to brush against the wheel face and spokes and it holds up well. Sheepskins I usually use on the...

alrighty gang... here's a curveball I have tons of P21S and APC . My APC stash consists of Meguiars APC+and 1Z Blitz (1Z is my go to APC of choice these days). Anyhow, I'm looking for a product to use on $$$$ wheels that sits somewhere in strength between P21S and the APC I can let...
