    Thanks man!
  3. Looking for a good detailing bag for a Griots G9

    Not sure how long the G9 is and I don't have access to mine right now.

    I like the Bucket Boss Gatemouth bags. I used a Gatemouth 16 for my Porter Cable 7424XP set up. I want some room for...

  5. Re: 24" deep x 36" wide shelves, looking to store my pads and gear

    Trying to find a good 5.5" container with a lid. They are either too short or too tall. I have a small garage.

    i bought the plate and pad kit from Griots and some crinkle glass towels to get rid of shipping costs.
  8. Griots G9: Griots 5" backing plate vs the one Autogeek includes (yellow one)

    I bought the G9 BlackFire One Step kit. It includes a 5" yellow backing plate they say is what BMW and MB says is the best ever.

    However; the Griot's 5" backing plate has vents for cooling. The...
  9. Re: Rate my restart into detailing our 2 cars.

    I was not sure if white would be enough either. I never used an AIO (Used to Meg's multi step professional line up). I haven't used the Ultimate Compound on paint yet, but I may give it a go. I...

    Re: Forum Nicknames - I still don't get it?

    Stalkers and a lot of things. Forums are easy to search. That said I have been Alkemyst since the late 90's. Been online through X.25 since 1983.


    Also that said I may as well use my real name...
  12. Re: Need to replace a lot of detailing gear lost. Best bang for buck for just personal cars.

    Still not allowed. That part is complicated. It's like a restraining order in a way. You can't have someone else do what you want done. She claims she is indigent and has no source of income. I...

  14. Re: Need to replace a lot of detailing gear lost. Best bang for buck for just personal cars.

    There is an agreement (from over 2 years ago now) that I will let her stay in my house until she can find another accommodation which she was supposed to work on. Then COVID came and now she is...
  15. Re: Need to replace a lot of detailing gear lost. Best bang for buck for just personal cars.

    GG6 vs G9?
  16. Re: Need to replace a lot of detailing gear lost. Best bang for buck for just personal cars.

    got to contemplate dropping $450 for a machine I probably won't use and my son only will.

    any good bang for bucks in the $200ish range...like the Griot G9? Especially if a rotary should be...
  17. Re: Need to replace a lot of detailing gear lost. Best bang for buck for just personal cars.

    Thanks for the reply, I will look into that. I see a lot of recommendations for the Rupes pads lately. I haven't used a 1 step yet really, but I trust your recommendations.

    This would not be...
  18. Need to replace a lot of detailing gear lost. Best bang for buck for just personal cars.

    Long story short, I have a ton of detailing gear in a house that my ex will not leave and COVID is not helping that. That said my main tool was the Porter Cable 7424XP which I was already looking to...
  19. 2006 BMW M3 38,000 miles, mostly lived indoors.

    I am ready to restore the outside of my M3. It lived mostly in a garage in NYC until 25k miles this past January. It had a bit of 'roughness' to the surface and the typical front end blems.

    I...
  20. Re: Looking for a good set of vacuum tools mostly brushes

    The problem is the brushes shed and the hard plastic is not so protected.

    Looking for some more plush brushes.

    It's not a bad kit, just looking for something better.
  21. Re: Looking for a good set of vacuum tools mostly brushes

    That's identical to the sears kit. The 'gentle' brush sheds and it sticks to alcantara pretty easily.
  22. Looking for a good set of vacuum tools mostly brushes

    I have a Mr. Nozzle set which is good for the hard tools. I am looking for a nice set of brushes. Sears has a set that looks good but the brushes shed and are not very protective over the hard...
