I installed two coats of CanCoat on a prepped surface, about 2 hours apart, and finished yesterday evening. The car was garaged overnight and just now I sealed the surface with Reload. The car is being picked up in 2 hours. There`s quite a bit more product left in the CanCoat container. Would...

Hi folks. My buffers have been lying stagnant for a few years due to some personal health issues, but I`m back!! Cant tell ya how happy it makes me feel to say that. I only work on my own cars and like to think of myself as an advanced hobbyist. I currently own the original PC, a Flex 3401, and...

Neighbors are redoing their kitchen and I called dibs on this cabinet. The polishers fit perfectly. There's so much room, I don't know what to do with all of it. It got here only 2 days ago, so there's plenty of time to fill the space. ;)

I ordered the 3M wax from PAC and tried it out yesterday over a 3M AIO. Having read the description on PAC's site, I expected the wax to be somewhat challenging to apply and remove. I was pleasantly surprised; it went on and came off like butter. I tried both foam and MF applicators and...

...with a rotary? This past spring, I decided to learn to polish with a rotary. I bought a Chicago on sale at HF for ~$20, a couple of backing plates and went to work on a spare hood. Truth be told, I wasn't very good with the machine. It would hop all over the place, suddenly take off across...

I wasn't sure where to post this. A few minutes ago I typed a message and uploaded it. Then, I saw text advising me that my comment will be posted pending moderator approval. Is this something new? I'm asking, because this is the first time it happened.

Hi, folks. I recently burnished one of my cars with FPII and a Flex. After seeing Todd's video on Youtube, where he used FPII with a rotary, I realized that I didn't work the polish long enough. I plan to give it another shot next weekend. I have a PC, a Flex, and a large selection of pads. The...

Does anyone have a method for getting the "waxy" preservative that was spayed all over the engine bay of my 1993 300ZX. The outside of my car has been Zainoed and looks great but I have not been able to come up with a way to clean up the engine bay. This "waxy" substance looks bad and traps all...
