  1. Led Lights on Tripod.. whats everyone using these days?

    Did a search most threads were old, looking into purchasing a tripod with 1-2 led lights on it. What is the latest and greatest?

  2. Re: what is the BEST Final Polish For BLACK?? Swirl free

    ya which in my case, I dont care if they are filling or not. better if they are and to leave them there. But hard to be filling when your using a polish no "no fillers"
    The 3m ultrafine polish is...
  3. Re: what is the BEST Final Polish For BLACK?? Swirl free

    no I cant this is a production business.. If i do a detail spray it completely burries the shine supply super light swirls, and it will completely lose the oily "edge" of the 3m polish..
    I want a...
  4. Re: what is the BEST Final Polish For BLACK?? Swirl free

    Not familiar much with menzerna, how is the 4500 compared to the above reference of "sf 3500?" Is it oily at all, hard to wipe off the surface at all? Those are two very crucial things for me
  5. Re: what is the BEST Final Polish For BLACK?? Swirl free

    Also from what I hear the new shine supply polish is a knockoff of essence, with a bit more things added. I also should add im using 3''.. so alot of those pads arent available in 3''.. I do like...
  6. Re: what is the BEST Final Polish For BLACK?? Swirl free

    an ipa wipedown is an extra step i dont care to really do.. I need it done and quickly.. least amount of steps.. the 3m and shine supply would both work perfectly if i sprayed a black detailer on...
  7. what is the BEST Final Polish For BLACK?? Swirl free

    Been getting kind of frusterated lately not being able to find a product that works perfectly for me, it seems they each have their very own small flaw when using on black especially..

    .. First...
  8. Re: Are these headlights not buffable or am I crazy??

    Its coming around finally, apparently my DA Discs absolutely suck, I did 1000-2000 by hand pretty quickly and seeing big gains.. I guess my next quest is what discs anyone uses? Trizact is nice but...
  9. Re: Are these headlights not buffable or am I crazy??

    chevy equniox, because I sell headlights and tail lights an am incredibly anal. which often leads me to places like this working for next to nothing when most wouldnt even mind the initial quality to...
  10. Re: Are these headlights not buffable or am I crazy??

    It substantially clears up with water but still not crystal clear. I seen the unevenness of breaking through the coating etc and it all looks even and I sanded a lot. I hope shooting it with clear...
  11. Re: Are these headlights not buffable or am I crazy??

    It's def on the outside she'll that is giving me a problem. They weren't that bad to begin with and now they are worse. They have a haze from somewhere along the sanding process that does not seem to...
  12. Are these headlights not buffable or am I crazy??

    Will try to make this as simple and to the point as possible. I have done a lot of sanding buffing etc on headlights as well. But have a particular issue with a set in doing now. I did 1000-1500-2000...

  14. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

    Most people usually read through a thread, especially as small as this one before commenting on irrelevancy or insulting me. I must be a pro then since I've never done real damage using a rotary. A...
  15. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

    Been buffing stuff for many many years.. I over analyze stuff, and research stuff to the max maybe it makes me sound inexperienced. My pictures should show im not THAT inexperienced, since that was...
  16. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

    Ya i will look into a DA for possible last 1-2 steps. The little rotary is from harbor freight. Money isnt really an issue for this as this is for production work and my time is far more valuable...
  17. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

    I only use the denibber for dirt specs in fresh paint. THe pictures of the tail light show my problem although I don't feel like it comes up completely in the pictures. I'm well aware of how long...
  18. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

    what kind of DA any recommendations? DA on just final step? or last 2 steps? I do smoked tail lights so it has to be something small where I can hold the light as well as the buffer... Here are some...
  19. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

  21. Re: CANNOT for the life of me get swirl free on BLACK! hellp!?

  23. Re: Need help with sanding/buffing PLASTIC.. which compound etc?

    Im quite familiar with sanding etc, like I said I can make black clear coat shine without any issues. Paper is new and not cheap, pressure is even Thats why im not understanding the straight plastic....
  24. Re: Need help with sanding/buffing PLASTIC.. which compound etc?

    That is Correct Allen. That is kind of my question, Im use to working with clear coat/paint etc. Straight polycarbonate is different apparently in how the sanding works and how each one takes out the...
  25. Re: Need help with sanding/buffing PLASTIC.. which compound etc?

    ya thats my problem im afraid of, even if I go below 1000 im having a HARD time getting the scratches out even after working up to 2000 afterwards. If I go any lower my problem will only get worse..
