    Clay and Polish -vs- Just Polishing

    Sooo... I clay and then polish because that's what I learned. But, why do we do this? If you have to compound and/or polish the paint anyway, wouldn't that take care of the stuff the clay is getting? Does it just make it easier for the compound or polish to work? Or is it a matter of the...

    Drying Foam Pads

    Hi guys... I usually throw my pads in the dryer and have never had a problem with the velcro peeling or anything. My problem is that I will take them out of the dryer after two 90 minute cycles on the highest setting. They will feel dry, but after about an hour, you can feel the dampness in...

    ONR QD Color

    I usually keep some pre-mixed ONR QD on hand. When I first mix it, it's a nice light blue color. After a few days though, it's as clear as can be. Even after shaking to make sure it is well mixed, it is clear. Has anyone else had this experience? It still works fine and smells the same...

    My 2005 Hyundai Tiburon GT

    I really hate to do an incomplete Click & Brag, but I have no good before shots of my car. This was an exterior detail only, interior to follow in the next day or so. And, to top everything off, when I pulled it out to get some pics in the sun, the camera broke. The pics were taken before I...

    Working in the sun

    I've been checking out the click & brag section... it seems that a lot of you who do mobile work sometimes have no choice but to work in the direct sunlight. How do you handle this? Is it handled by a different product selection? Or does using machines for the work make it go fast enough...

    Removing wheel paint

    Sooo.... the ******* who owned my car before me had the stock wheels painted black. While I like them black, he, or whoever he paid to do it, did a really bad job. Where the paint is coming off, you can see that the wheels were not sanded or primered. Not only that, but they painted over the...

    Question about machine speeds

    Okay... I apologize if this is not the appropriate place for this question, but I am asking about machines. All other possible factors being equal, what are the advantages of higher rpm/opm speeds, like 1500 -vs- 3000 -vs- 6000 rpm/opm. Like is a higher speed capability always better? Do...
