    Rupes cords. Wrap them (loosely) around the machine or what?

    Roll into a nice sized circle and use Velcro wrap ties from RadioShack or bestbuy to keep them tied together. Reusable and neatly wrapped. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9MWBEO..._zty8yb9VQX6VD

    Thanks! All thanks to the many reviews on this forum. Ordered the Master Cut this morning so my first attempt at this stuff will be a 3 step; Master Cut, SSR 2.5, PWCB and then finished with Dodos Black Widow wax. Go big or go home. lol

I`ve been told I may have underestimated my paint so I`m going to order Poorboy Master Cut here in the next couple days as well. Really excited regardless.

    Here`s to first timers doing black! Hopefully my next post is a result post

    I can`t for the life of me get this picture right side up. In my Photos folder it`s right side up. Tried uploading from Imgur to here but that wasn`t working either.

    I have a Black Chevy, wondering about the PBs #3 ? Haven`t ordered it yet or the BlackWidow Wax.
    Please post more after you try them out.
    The Natural look & Glass cleaner are some of my GoTo`s great products.

    Lol just did it real quick on the phone...saved to camera roll, went into adjustments and clicked rotate then reposted for ya.

    On a computer it`s due to how a phone imports them into your photo editor whatever it may be. The easy fix is to open in a photo editor not the default picture viewer, rotate it even if it looks normal and click save. 90% of the time that fixes it.

    This is due to a lot of Microsoft or iPhoto programs automatically know the picture was taken sideways and puts it in correct viewing position but doesn`t save it that way.

    I actually wrap mine around the polisher, but I make sure to have plenty of slack at the point where the cord comes out of the machine to avoid bending at that area.

    I saw it at Costco! Need review. Seemed like a really good price.

    That`s what I thought. Wrap it with common sense. I was thinking of getting a pelican case because I don`t like the idea of two polishers rubbing against each other in a bag. Saw someone else had a sweet FLEX polisher setup where he had 3 polishers in the case.

    Will do! I`ll be using it this weekend. My Costco had it for $48, but I got it off Amazon for $38...saved 10$. It`s only the 2000 Lumens but just a test run in the dark proved to be BRIGHT AS HE11!

    That`s weird because it`s always $30 here.
