Well after reading all posts including my own where I said I was going to get the Metabo rotary because of it's versatility and extended capabilities, I changed my mind!! I'll still probably get it!! Everyone had excellent arguments on the tools and due to circumstances I had to pick a...

I would be interested in selling 34 oz of 3M PIII 05937 or trading for 32 OZ of Menzerna PO85RD or PO106FF. If interested, PM me with what you have. Changeling

When you tape off the trim do you apply the tape "past" the edge of the trim or try to tape it right to the edge of the trim. If you hit the taped off trim with your rotary, Cyclo, or PC does the fact that it is taped off take care of accidents? Trying to think this thing through...

What is the easiest tool to use when polishing the vertical surfaces (sides) of a vehicle with compounds through final polishing products? How much is tool weight a factor in this overall experience? I would think the rotary would beat out the orbitals like a PC or Cyclo but I don't know. I...

I will trade 36oz of 3M PIII 05937, for a 32 oz bottle of Menzerna PO 85RD . Actual shipping charges by both parties will be included in transaction. The trade is only open to registered Autopians of at least 6 months. PM me if interested. Changeling

My intention is not to turn this into an argument on the best polishes. It is simply to find out the differences between the above two polishes. There has been some "reasoning" of the differences but somewhat vague with no experience in differences between the two. If you have any knowledge I...

OK, a lot off topic! Has anyone ever tried to blow snow off a driveway with a 220 mph leaf blower ? Did it work? Changeling PS. My whole place is in cased in 6" of solid ice, it just happens to look like snow!! Hell, I'm cooking up cornmeal and water to make a 'Mush", cooling it down into...

When it comes to refining a paint finish down to a show car finish what do the Professionals reach for, I'm not referring to KAIO or Werkstatt prime cleaner type compounds. I am referring to cutting compounds at there finest breakdown for the epitome of a final finish prep. Changeling

I thought I posted this but it must have been lost. For all you guys that have and use a rotary do you ever fall back to the PC for any reason or will the rotary handle all jobs better than the rotary. Changeling

This is a weird question I know because everyone is different. But, in my mind it does have merit. The question is aimed toward persons that feel comfortable with a rotary polisher like the Makita, Metabo, etc. Question: How long did it take you to feel comfortable using a rotary polisher...

With a given vehicle in "X condition" that a PC could handle what would a good estimate be for the time it would take to polish it out to through final prep with a PC vs a rotary? Changeling

I had one of my brilliant ideas today (yea right!) . Has anyone on this web site ever tried a bar/piece of soap to take the place of using a piece of detailing clay? There are tons of soap bars out there with different compositions that in my mind would probably accomplish the same goal as...

I was reading a post (Very Long) on what is your favorite polish. However there is a problem. When everyone talks about a polish, be it corrective or finishing there frequently is left out some extremely important information that lets the beginner and perhaps the expert also to be left in...

I sincerely hope a lot of the guys find this as interestingas I do. Below is the answers and then the questions to an email I sent them. Seems to be a really nice bunch of guys. This is the best reply I have had from "all" the manufactuers! Changeling Thank you for contacting the...

My original/still intention was to use Klasse twins AIO/SG for the protection aspect of my details but so many people seem to go this way or that on this type of product area that I thought I would post a question concerning the longevity of these various area specific/brand formulations. In...

Can you guys recommend a really good brand of clay for use on old paint? Also, if you are polishing a vehicle for the first time to remove swirls and oxidation, it is not necessary to use clay. Is this correct. Changeling

This is something I started thinking about today and really couldn't come up with an answer. After you polish the paint to the best of your capabilities, you then do the the final prep of your choice relative to cleaners/sealants, waxes, whatever. In my case sealants will be Klasse...

I keep hearing you guys talk about it, but what exactly is it? Is it a car washing solution? Changeling

I just placed an order for some 6.5 inch pads (LC CCS) for use with a pc. 1 Orange, 1 yellow, 2 white and 1 black. A pair of WeatherTech wind shields for my truck. (This is for me)! Does this sound like a reasonable start, or did I miss something, or an amount for applying the...
