yea that sounds exactly right

Thanks Mike!

I will try this method. My initial thought was similar, and that's why I went to the Menzerna 3in1, thinking it was close is composition. But I will pick up one of your suggested...

This was my first test panel for coarseness. So my pads were brand new, and unprimed. I do my typical light smiley face of polish, two little dots and one thin crescent. It most certainly isn't...

Hey so need some help, not sure how to tackle this. This is a 91 NSK, 9000kms, all original. It is murdering all of my polishes.
Nothing seems to break down, they just dry out, and start dusting...

Expensive?

Where do you buy that? Online? I'd like to try some!

^^ How do you find that holds up to the polisher running over it? My 3M masking tape tends to fold over and then adhesive goes everywhere. What's your technique there for not getting a small line of...

You can polish it just like paint. You can get most of the scratches out and clears it up almost perfectly. I use Menzerna SIP and top is with wolfgang 3.0

Then when you're doing the final detail...

That is crazy old film. Like early 2000s. the new stuff is nothing like that. But either way, he made that a lot harder for himself haha

Not in my experience, no. The clear bra manufacturers that I have dealt with include 3M, Avery and Xpel. The main difference between each would be the backing paper/adhesive as well as the top coat....

He's doing it like I described, you'll notice all the haze on the film is the adhesive and the paint is factory fresh :)

Up here in Canada 3M is on almost 50% of the vehicles to protect from all...

If you pull it the wrong way you'll get the adhesive stuck to the car. Change your technique and I'd bet you'll notice better results.

I do them every day. Most of my work is 3M install and removal. Maybe I can take a video and show you how haha

Super duper easy.

Why does it have to be done warm?


This is my method, I don't use steam, sunlight or a hair dryer. Just the way it comes into the shop.

Removing them is really easy. Lift at one corner and...

Thanks guys, that's kind of what I thought I'd hear. Hopefully 3M comes out with something for the flex :)

I was just wondering if anyone can suggest a good backing plate other then the stock one for the flex DA? My stock one is starting to melt so it's time for an upgrade! So far in my search I've only...

Both of these are actually 6.5". All my 5/5.5"s have Velcro all the way to the edges.

But I will double check when I get back in the office tomorrow.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem...

That could be, but it seems the style that goes all the way to the edge is the kind that loses the backing. My old ones have never gaveway, yet out of my last order of 6 packs of the white polish...

Hmmm well if I can't get those old ones anymore that's very upsetting :(

Thanks for the help though!

Ya it's not the density I'm worried about, I have both kinds in all densities. The difference between both sets being the velcro backing.

Do you know if they recently changed the backing? Notice how the one on the right has a smaller velcro backing? I ordered the LC CCS pads and got the ones of the left.

Alright I need to order more pads but I need to make sure they're the right ones.

What are the ones on the right? They seem to work the best with the Flex while the ones on the left tend to just...

So I assume I just give it a good clay bar then start with the Wolfgang :)

I think I'll top it with the P21S

Ya but that doesn't help me now! Lol.

What's SSII?

What do you usually apply 3.0 with? Should I use maybe the DA with say a Cobra blue 5.5" same as a liquid carnauba?
