UV headlight clear ? I'll search for it. Thanks.

I clay bared a 21 year old garage kept camry today that had never been detailed its entire life. the paint looked good after washing it, but when I began the clar bar cleanup, the paint was so rough...

Well I started a rejuvination project on a 21 year old Camry, for the most part, garage kept. The headlamp lenses were completely clouded over, but I didn't want to mess with a headlamp clearing kit,...

Last year I bought a bottle of Blackfire One Step based on Mike's hands on review and recommendation. My bottle is used up now and I had consistently great results each time I used it. My truck is a...

I saw that the LC Hybrid Force pads were designed to handle the power of the Flex forced DA machine. The LC Hydro-Tech pads are designed specifically to absorb (waste) less product. I've been using...

I want to get a modern auto battery charger, the so-called "smart" chargers, which go through several cycles that do everyting from evaluation, desulfination, bulk charging, trickle charging etc. My...

About a year ago I took my vehicle to a detailing outfit and paid them for a very good interior detail job. The deal was that I could watch so I could learn how to do perform an interior detail job....

Min rpm with the Rupes rotary 19E is 450 while min rpm for the Flex PE14 is 600, ok got that. But is the difference in minimum rpm between these two machines (150 rpm) significant enough to warrant...

Thanks Bob. That settles that, makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Do all white paints contain titanium, does titanium itself harden pants, therefore are all white paints hard ?

Oops sorry. Ok same question but reversed, can I run the Flex down to 450 RPM with a partial trigger press ?

If I go with the Rupes rotary at 600 rpm at low, vs 450 rpm at low for the pe14, will I miss that 150 rpm slower speed difference or wish I had that low range available ?

Can you use a shallow...

Sounds like good advice. No home chemistry for me. I just didn't know if it was standard praceice or not, for sure it is not. Thanks very much.

Do any of you guys buy straight d-limonene citrus solvent and cut it yourself for use as a APC ? I've been reading about d-limonene, it seems to be used as an effective general purpose cleaner and...

Hi Mike, I look forward to hear more about the 19E as you're able work more hours with it. Dr Oldz, that is great information, after reading your take on the Rupes I like it better than before. I...

Hmmm, that is impressive, good testimony. Thanks.

That product looks really good, esp. the ability to control the rate of flow. But I wonder about too much plastic. There's bad plastic, good plastic, and specialized polymer products in other...

I just read Mike's recent review of the new Rupes bigfoot LHR 19E rotary and I was impressed with the machine.

Problem is I previously decided on the Flex PE14-2, but fortunately have not bought...

Thanks very much Mike. Again !

Hi Mike,

A while ago you mentioned in a previous thread that you would see about asking the Flex reps about why they are still making the 3403 rotary since the PE14-2 is the best machine for...

I've not experimented but our regular laundry detergent seems to work for me. I always add an additional rinse only cycle afterwards, to get as much of the fragarance from the detergent as possible....

I have a Flex 3401 Forced DA. But I'm thinking about getting a rotary machine. If you have a Forced Action DA that you use, under what circumstances do you use your Rotary machine instead of the...

I didn't know Mike dilutes 70% ISO. In that case it seems I should be xtra careful with 100% denatured ethanol. So far then it seems like no-one in detailing uses Denatured Alc. I hope to learn more...

I have been using straight Denatured Alcohol for cleaning and degreasing very small spots or areas for various uses, esp. as a general cleaner before spot cleaning with a painters degreaser or...

Since starting this hobby I have been using HexLogic pads almost exclusively. I also tried the new Megs pads but didn't like them, they were too thin for the types of panel curves and creases I've...
