    Optimum Polish Thickness

    Hello guys! I just received Optimum Polish and Optimum Compound today and I was filling a squeeze bottle with each product. The Compound is very creamy and smooth...The Polish looked like old milk! I couldn't even get it to squeeze out of the bottle smoothly so I took of the top and poured some...

    92 Mustang~Kinda Neat For White

    Hey guys and gals! Last night I decided to clean my 1992 Mustang GT. The paint is original and is starting to really show it! I know white is hard to show reflections so when I saw this one on the hood this morning at work, I had to get a shot. Nothing great but definately better than before I...

    Cleaning rubber mats...

    Hello to all...I searched for this but did not get the results I wanted (maybe did not word it right). My father has a 2001 GMC 2500 Sierra that has carpet with removable rubber floor mats. After I clean them I would like to put something on them for that "new" look yet not be slippery for...

    Rotary machine with fast start...

    Hello guys...I have been using a rotary from Harbor Freight for quite some time now, but really do not like the slow start feature with the trigger.

    Hi-Temp Medium Cut and?

    Hello guys and gals...Hope you all had a great weekend! I have been using Hi-Temp Light Cut for quite a while now, but have noticed recently that Hi-Temp Medium Cut seems to leave a better finish (wetter as in ready for LSP). What I wonder is, even though I do not see any marring after using...

    LA's Totally Awesome

    Ok, guys...I have a question about a product that I'm sure gets no play here, LA's Totally Awesome APC. If anyone has heard of it, has anyone used it? I heard about it through a friend who uses it diluted as a tire cleaner, engine cleaner, and carpet spot cleaner. The bottle claims no acid, no...

    The Meguiars Cleaner Wax is the hardest cleaner I have had to try to clean from a LC polishing pad. It never came out after a long battle under hot water and plenty of wringing. Any ideas?

    Possible PC Problem?

    Hello to all...I recently purchased a PC 7336 from Lowes and really like it. My question is, the speed dial clicks through 1 through 5 precisely, but between 5 and 6, it does not click until it gets to 6. When I try to start the machine between 5 and 6, it barely operates. Everywhere else on the...
