    Dualing Polishers

    OK...this is just plain goofing off. The portion of video I had wanted to put up was really out of focus, I think I had the camera zoomed in too much so it was going wacky trying to keep in focus. This portion of video has it also but not as bad as the rest. This is NOT how I recommend to...

    New Cyclo Dual Precision Pads

    I have been given an early preview of some new pads from Cyclo and I believe they have done all detailers right by this new upgrade. The first Cyclo pads were rubber booties attached to the foam pads. They were a real pain to get on and off but they were always centered. Then they came out...

    Polishing Video

    This is a video of me polishing on a Porsche Speedster.....I apologize for there being no sound, it somehow got left out in the conversion process. I'm a noob at this video stuff so I hope I can figure out what happened and correct it. Basically I am using OC and OCP with my Dewalt, and I...
