[05xrunner]

Well i finally picked one up tonight from a local store int he mall that carries all kinda high end detail goodies...This thing just feels sooo nice and smooth. I have had my PC for 2years now and I have wanted this thing for a long time. the weather has turned to crap around here. BUT next week looks like a indian summer supposed to be 60 and sunny all week. So my order of new stuff from Autogeek will be here on monday so i will get to try out this new beast and the new stuff I got from Autogeek.

Don't forget to oil the felt ring.

whats the reason for the oil on the felt ring..I took it off and put some oil drops on it..but looks like the felt ring doesnt even touch anything

They had problems with the backing plate melting, the oil seems to help.


Oh and it must be nice to have a store in the mall that carries quality detailing supplies :xyxthumbs:

I LOVE THIS THING...I just did a quick pass over my hood..granted it wasnt in bad shape but it had some swirls..I am using a white bpad and XMT360..pulled it out and had sun on it..it is FLAWLESS..I mean there is not a single mark. I was never able to get this kinda results with my PC with same setup as fast..It took me about half the hood before I got comfortable..it is way different then the PC and it wants to go if you hold it wrong..but GOD I LOVE IT..

Pleeeeeeeeze stop! I don't want to buy one lol. Sounds fun.

not as fast as I do with this thing. I started to not like using that PC because it would always make my hand go numb after long use from the vibrations.

I dont even know what this means
