    BLACKFIRE Interior Cleaner?

    Can this stuff deal with a lot of soiling? Seems like a very safe interior cleaner that won't dry anything out.

    Mr. Todd Helme???

    I read in an article in which you stated that 106FA uses the finest abrasives of any Menzerna polish. Ok, then why is 85rd considered a lighter polish? Also, you mentioned that 106FF had some issues with some soft paint. Does 106FA have the same issues with some soft paint? Thanks.

    Tried a few Adam's products, I'm impressed....

    Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner - It's a salt based cleaner that has NO scent and NO foaming properties. You would swear it's just plain water. It's really does a good job at removing dirt and stains! I can use it in my bissel pro heat because it does not foam at all. DP C&U cleaned well, but has a...

    Meguiars soft buff cutting pad?

    I got a free one and gave it a very short run today on a light colored metallic. I noticed a lot of the product stayed on the face of the pad, which would lead me to believe it's closed cell? With all things equal, does it have the same amount of cut as the HT cyan pad? It's seems as though the...

    Calling Todd.....again....

    There are MF pads being released that claim they can be used with a rotary. Well, my first thought is that with the *forced rotation* of the 3401, the MF pads don't work well at all, IME. On the same note, a rotary is forced rotation as well. Does the forced circular motion of a rotary work...

    Calling Todd....

    I have 0 experience with a LC yellow pad. With everything equal, how does the leveling ability of an LC yellow pad/m105 compare to a MF cutting disc/m105? What about finish? Thanks

    Hd uno....

    I just tried this polish, and I really like it! It lives up to its claim that it will cut depending on the pad you use with it. I used it with a cutting pad and it cute quite well. I then used it with a finishing pad, and it removed the marring left behind by the cutting pad. Correct me if I'm...

    Rotary polishing?

    I think I've become pretty efficient with a DA, so now I'm gonna explore with a rotary. My friend Kevin Brown was kind enough to ship me a makita rotary to borrow for a few days. :bigups :rockon When using a rotary and a wool pad to remove swirls, do rotary buffer swirls look different than the...

    Constant pressure pads?

    I once heard they're a great idea for rotaries, but don't make any sense for DA's? Anyone care to comment, as I have no clue....

    Other paste waxes that are as easy to remove as Fuzion?

    That have that wipe on, wipe off, buttery texture? Nothing ridiculously priced.

    Question for Todd(and others)....

    Is there any pad/polish combo that can be used with the Flex 3401 that will give BETTER cut than the Meg's G110v2/MF cutting disc/M105? If there is, please let me know, as I haven't found it yet.

    Backsaver tip

    (This is not a tip for the SUV crowd!) My 911 is a good 2" lower than stock - and even when it was higher, I wasn't very good about keeping the lower bits of it waxed. I had the car *way* up in the air w. my spiffy new jackstands to change the rear swaybar -- and decided to leave it up...

    Houston mobile detailer? (I checked the links)

    I do my own detailing on my cars, but have a client who mentioned today that they're willing to give up the local Bubbles for a mobile detailer who does housecalls. They're in River Oaks, near West Gray & Shepherd. Let me know if any Autopians are in Houston & interested in picking up a...

    Protecting raw aluminum against oxidation?

    A friend has a Caterham - it's a kit car based on the Lotus 7 (http://www.caterham.co.uk/). The "bonnet", as well as the tub, are plain-jane aluminum (that's "Al-u-min-i-um" ;-)) He & I are working on it w. some Mother's aluminum polish, which is going fine; but after all that work it'll be a...

    IHG versus IMG?

    I've been working my way around the car with SMR/yellow pad, and now following up with SMR/white pad. Is the second step even necessary/beneficial? Also, I have a big container of IHG -- is it worth applying that after the SMR, can I use it w. my PC, or should I get some IMG? What's the...

    protecting sunroof seals during polishing?

    When I first got my car, the seals around the perimeter of the sunroof were in bad shape. They stick up slightly above the paint; they looked abraided & in some cases the outer, slightly 'furry' surface was worn almost completely through. The service manager who wrote up a work repair to...
