    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Broke out the Nano again for one of the projects I got it for. My MINI has really soft black a pillars. Started out with yellow on yellow and wasn’t happy with the results. Tried blue on blue and it worked a treat. Was surprised how well it finished down. Still hate the bottles.

    Also, I couldn’t figure out how to minimize the splatter on the blue pads. Ideas? Better yet solutions?

    Finished it off with a bit of the CQuartz lite I had left. Figured a good long lasting LSP was a good idea with such soft bits so I won’t have to touch them as much.

    I personally despise the blue pads and as far as slinging.....I think the best you can hope for is minor sling if luck is on your side

    Also what I do is take a 5" or 6" pad, get a 1.25" whole punch, arbor press and I punch out my own pads for the Rupes Nano.

    I can usually get 6 out of a full size pad.
    Here are two examples of my Nano pads that I punched myself.
    The yellow was made from the Rupes yellow pad and the green one is from Buff and Shine.

    I have many many many self made pad options for the Nano

    Cool! Looks like they make enough power to go high 14s in the 1/4? I know that’s not it’s meant for but that’s how I gauge the power.
