    SSR shelf life?

    I am undecided between the 16oz and the 32oz bottles. The bigger one represents a better value but I will probably only use it twice a year. We do have 2 cars (2000 Eclipse & 95 Jeep Cherokee) so how much product do you think an average detail would use for those and long is it good for?

    noob starting pads/compound

    I was thinking about picking up a Chicago Electric rotary to try and buff out my bad swirl marks: http://www.detailcity.com/showthread.php?t=13403 I've read here that most people recommend an additional backing pad for that one. Also, I'm confused by all the different compounds (SSR etc) and...

    Hi to all

    I just registered after begin steered here by a fellow member of my Club3g Eclipse BB. There is a lot of great info here that I've seen so far. I have a big problem with scratches in my paint but I think it's probably best to post it in the buffing section...

    Help, my nephew screwed up my car.

    Hi, I just signed up here after reading through as many of the buffing posts as I could. Whilst in Florida I let my nephew (who started at a detailer) try to buff out some of the light scratches on my black 2000 Eclipse. I know it was stupid but I thought he knew what he was doing. He...
