Hi everyone, Would you know or still remember the dimensions of your Cyclo's box? I'm supposed to order one in the next 48 hours but I need to know if it'll still fit in my cousin's baggage. Thanks!

Can I use it on wires, covers, and painted areas in the engine bay? Any durability issues? :think:

Is it ok to hit side mirrors with flowing water during a wash? Will water going behind the mirror harm anything back there? Any advice as to how to prevent water from getting in there (if it's bad)?

Hi all, How many panels can you polish with an orange or white 4-inch spot pad before it get's all loaded and you need a fresh one? http://www.autogeek.net/4inch-spot-buffs.html Thanks!

I wanted to replace the spindle of my Makita 9227C with one that has a thread size of 5/8"-11 UNC. Mine is M16x2. I got the new spindle (labeled #50 in the schematic below) from toolpartsdirect.com but I got stuck trying to remove the old spindle from the assembly. Check out the schematic...

I couldn't remove some contaminants that were baked on the front bumper's paint after being there for such a long time. Claying removed very little. What do I do next? I've read some posts where they actually polish the car first before they clay. Any suggestions?

I was looking for review of 3M IHG and I came across this quote below. Is this true? http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19486&highlight=Imperial+Hand+Glaze [edit: updated link]

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a Mazda3 but I'm on the fence as to which color to get. I've narrowed down the choice to two: black mica or sunlight silver metallic If "velocity red" were like "Ferrari red", then that would've been a no-brainer. Anyway....here are my reasons: For...

Hi, I have a 3.75-inch rotary backing plate. Instead of buying a new backing plate for the PC, can I use a DA adapter so that I can reuse my existing backing plate? Any thoughts? Would I be better off with a dedicated DA-only backing plate? In my guesstimate, the DA adapter combined...

Hi, I used #83 DACP on a W7000 cutting pad but it didn't do much for the scratches. I passed over the area twice with no additional pressure on the Makita 9227C. I polished until it was no longer visible (no film present) but I did not let it dust at all. The car has dual-stage paint...

I was planning to put IHG or #81 or #3 over #80 but I was wondering if I would be just wasting product (baaad) or actually enhancing the shine (goood). Any opinions? I will be applying #3 or IHG via rotary on a CMA finishing pad while #81 would go by hand. I will top with paste wax right...

Zymol seems to have instructions similar to the spit-shining technique discussed here. Please post the instructions written on the back of your Zymol container so I can compare. Thanks! :up

Is it possible that the gloss enhancers / fillers in Meguiar's #83 DACP and #80 Speed Glaze hide the true condition of the paint so much so that a detailer would think he's done prepping the paint for the LSP? IMHO, one of Meguiar's intentions for these abrade-then-glossify/fill products was...

Would it make any difference (or sense) if I were to top Klasse SG with another glaze like #81 Hand Polish or ClearKote Vanilla Moose Hand Wax Glaze? Of course, I'd be topping everything in the end with a layer (or three) of carnauba paste wax. :confused:

Hi all, Up to how many times do you try using the same pad and product to remove a pesky scratch before moving up to a more agressive pad OR product OR rpm setting using a rotary? Which one (pad, product, or rpm) would you "increase" first? Would increasing the rpm be out of the...

Hi all, Would you mind sharing where you store your rotary buffer and the 7.5-inch pads? I'm currently considering the following: Sterilite ultra storage drawers. Sterilite clearview storage drawers Sterilite drawer carts The first two are stackable so you can have more than...
