    EDIT - I really need to get a photo hosting site.
    Try tapTalk. I’m on 6 forums i use through their app and it makes posting pics easy. Literally uploads from phone.

    I can see why people like this product. I liked the smell, liked the finish.

    Today I could not be bothered getting my pressure washer out, so I thought I would do an ONR wash instead. Those CarPro measuring cups are brilliant.





    Finished off by doing the windows with Invisible Glass and a quick top-up of Duragloss 253 on the tires.

    I rarely do rinse-less washing, but I can see the appeal and actually quite enjoyed it.
    I need to look at those measuring cups! I dilute ONR as a detail spray and clay bar.

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

    Well just left the shop at 3:20 this morning! I work nights and stay up all night on my nights off.

    Anyway, I wish I could have captured pictures of all the scratches, swirl marks and water spots on the hood and top fenders.

    I tackled it tonight and I'm really impressed with the Wolfgang Uber compound. This is the first time using it. I usually use the total swirl remover.

    I still need to go over it with finishing glaze and deep gloss paint sealent.

    Eventually I'll go over the whole car because it needs it!

    I removed some bird poop. It was behind the spare on the rear door so I had to spray the QD through the spare to reach it, then reach over and around it to wipe it off. Also, I think I need to do some work on the black trim again. I think I'm over black plastic trim.

    I entered myself in a competition of one for…

    “Who has the shiniest white Kia?”

    .


    Yeah, it’s nap time.

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

    I discovered why people like these

    It is NOT a toy

    Sorry the closeups suck, and the ghost images are the white flowers on my black board shirts reflecting in the second shot

    I noticed three significant scratches on my baby today and totally freaked



    I figured I would give this a go



    I get conflicting info on the pad color hierarchy with SPTA

    One source says yellow is medium and blue is finer and the other is vice versa

    I can’t tell by feel or sight so I took a chance on blue figuring either would be safe with trusty old 3D Speed



    I had it in random orbital mode just to make sure I was being the least aggressive

    It always starts on speed 1 so I dabbed it out and hit the switch and spread my product

    I cranked it up a notch at a time and by the time I hit 4 (out of 7) I knew I had enough oomph

    I did a 2x2 section pass, wiped it, amazingly saw improvement, put on 1 more dot of product and another pass and bam!

    I honestly knew down deep I would need to go to 3D One to get these out and color me surprised when I didn’t, and it’s not due to fillers because I used my new Feynlab Pure Rinseless mixed to panel wipe strength and it stripped it back to bare paint

    I didn’t let the Poxy in the Speed set at all so it wiped it clean


    This thing didn’t come close to stalling out and I had 3 higher speeds left

    I have never even seen an Ibrid or Pixie or Adams in person so I have no reference for comparison and I know I need a lot more time with this machine to make any long term judgment but as I said, I am impressed

    The weird thing, as other reviews have pointed out, is the switches are reversed for the majority of the people commenting on them

    Very unintuitive but obviously will be a learned behavior

    My PC and Rupes switches are totally different, you just adapt
