Can anyone who owns or has a good deal of experience give me some feedback on the quality of the OEM paint? My friend purchased an orange '06 Exige S sight unseen and it showed up this evening. Right away I could tell the nose had been painted. It's dull from lack of proper finishing after...

I'm really liking this stuff but why no flip cap Optimum? I'm really liking the opti-bond, loved the Megs high endurance gel but it was too much work to get it to NOT sling. Opti-bond seems to give a similar look without the sling. After being through several tire dressings lately and just...

My take was the cruise control feature is similar to the forced rotation of the flex. I like the concept but for cost and pad reasons wanted to stay away from the flex. Thought the G110v2 was a great alternative with it's cruise control. Looking for feedback on my thoughts above to see if...

Are there any cQuarts users out there with a long term durability report? I've seen several using it and see it being compared to Opti-coat but no long term reviews. I'm leaning towards Opti-coat for my daily but wanted one last opinion on cQuartz before finalizing a purchase. Thanks, Andy

I've been looking for a replacement for my Brinkman for a few weeks since it decided to crap out on me and had seen this light mentioned in threads here before. Only a single light but 170 lumens of output from this unit which I believe is more than the total output from the brinkman's two...

I have to be honest I've been a hold out on the latest coatings, but I'm tempted enough to give it a go on my daily driver so i can form my own opinion of them. I'm going to either either Opti-coat or cQuartz soon I'm curious how you treat the coatings when it's time to clay the car? I'm...

I'm looking to purchase a car in NW Arkansas (Bentonville). The car should be fairly straight forward. I'm assuming it's swirled up but nothing I can't fix. What I'm concerned about is the front bumper and hood have been re-sprayed for rock chip repair. I need someone who knows paint to look...

All, I'd like some feedback on what works best for you in those ares that need to be polished but cannot be accessed by a buffer. Specifically after wetsanding work needs to be done in those areas. I have a project coming up where a car was sprayed and there's all sorts of overspray in...

Every time I try to do the KBM method using my PC I find that after a few panels the backing material on my pads is getting soo warm that it actually starts to melt to the backing plate. I thought possibly the velcro was bad on the backing plate so I put a brand new backing plate on the PC...

Gents, I"m looking at purchasing an E55 AMG Mercedes located in Alpharetta and desperately need someone to look closely at this car for me to give me an honest opinion on it's condition. I really need to have a qualified Autopian go over the car to insure there's been no paint or body work...

I've been seeing several blurbs about the black lambswool pads floating around but unless I've missed it I don't think I've seen a full blown thread on them. I'd love to hear some feedback and reviews on them from individiduals that have used them. I've never turned back to foam for cutting via...

I picked up my first bottle when it first came out and got it from ADS. It was a cream color similar to the container it came in. I just got a new pint from AutoGeek and to my suprise when I took the seal off, it's white in the new bottle? Went out in the garage and fired up the rotary...

Havn't posted here much in a long time... and while I don't have a great write-up for this one I figure'd I'd share some pictures of my own personal car that I finally got around to spending some much needed time on a couple weeks ago. I easily logged >1000 track miles this summer and it was...

Just wanted to start a thread on High-End caranuba's to try to get as much data in one place as possible as far as experiences and comparisons vs. other high-end caranuba's. The basis for this is that I've been using Soveran as my 'nuba of choice for >3 years now. While I found it expensive...

I'm about ready to order another gallon of one of these products and trying to decide which one to get. I quickly went through a couple of gallons of the origional OCW when they first released it and was very happy with the product but upon the discovery and use of AW I found it to be a bit less...

I've seen several threads where this finishing technique is referenced. Is it simply however an extended finishing polishing session and nothing more...or are there specifics to it? I currently use LC grey or blue pads and PO85RD for my finishing work but this trade is something where I'm...

It's been about 2 years since I've had the need to order any Microfiber and with positive experiences with Ranney in the past I see no reason not to give him my business again. However, it seems like there's numerous towels that he's currently got in his Inventory. Can someone give me a...

Maybe I"m just crazy but has anyone else noticed that SIP appears to do quite a bit of filling while using it to polish...much more so than the old IP or even PG? I got a sample from another board member to try out and the first vehilce I tried it out on was my Black Audi which hasn't been...

I've searched and found nothing but good things about SIP..but I'm still having a hard time justifying it. Can I ask that everyone share their experiences with SIP here...specifically performance vs. other popular polishes. When out on a Job I currently carry PG, IP, FP, 85RD, SSR2, SSR3...

Has anyone experienced issues with poli-seal never really curing on the surface? I used it on two black cars this past weekend and on both when I went to remove the polish it left smears where I was effectively moving around uncured product on the surface and it wouldn't copmletely wipe off...
