I agree! I just slapped my 5" no on my 21 and polished a corolla. That bad boy is a defect killing machine and I don't thing it's possible to stop the backing plate regardless of how the panel is...
Dave,
There certainly is the potential for a profit. I am in the car business now and I sell used cars. I handle taking care of all of the reconditioning to fielding calls to drafting up the...
Being in the car business, I much prefer to have the detail done right. Selling a clean car is much easier than a dirty car. Don't get caught up in paint correction because people (him and his...
I would like to see cheaper disposable applicators for Opticoat. I haven't used the neoprene applicators yet but if they really do work great I would rather have a smaller applicator that is cheaper...
If you read any sales book out there all of them will tell you that if the person tries to speed up the sales process by jumping right to price they arent a customer anyways. If you give a price...
I agree Mark. I rarely use any other tool other than my traditional DA. I only pull out the rotary for nostalgia sake and only one car recently was the flex and easier machine to use. The microfiber...
Yes it is. I use that all of the time now. You tilt the pad and work the defect with the edge of the pad. You have to find the right amount of pressure and tilt to get optimum results from this. But...
That is an interesting idea. I have never done it before and if I were to try it I would use an APC that I know is safe such as OPC. Maybe throw some ONR in with it for some extra glide? If you...
I say go with the regular DA. I have 2 rotaries, Flex 3401, PC, GG6, and Megs g110 v1. I use every single tool I have for the most part. I have basically hung up my rotaries though. I use my g110...
No it is much easier to wipe off... But they are two totally different products used for two totally different reasons. 105 has much more cut. D151 has protection incorporated into it.
Gmck, I'm not totally sure the point you are trying to make? Is it to let everyone know that they may need to wait 90 days to polish it? Or is it to try and discredit Optimum?
I think you have a valid point. I do this part time now and when I say part time I have only one car under my belt in the last 6 months. And I haven't been on here much since I started the new job I...
The harbor freight one works ok. I've used it to paint a few bumpers before. I'm sure there are better guns out there but Im not a painter by trade and was just restoring a $750 car as best I could....
Nope I don't. Their cost in that option is more than $500. In fact I'll tell you the invoice of that option when I get to the office. If they are stretched thin on the deal they won't just eat that...
I ran the car fax and it was clear. I agree with setec those readings wouldn't frighten me. They seem to be pretty consistent. Does the orange peel match?
I would have to see the orange peel but I think it would be hard to match the orange peel to the factory orange peel. I am sure the really good painters can though. I have done a little painting in...
It could be the dirt that killed the beading. It's happened to me before, when I prerinse the car it looks as though there is no protection and after the wash the car beads again.
