    Re: Flex 3401 or rupes bigfoot.

    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...

    Re: Best smelling product?

    My favorite was ONR the Original version! I don't know why but I like it better than any of the fruity or scented products out there.
  3. Re: Is opportunity knocking right now? Shall I sieze it?

    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...

    Re: Meguairs G-110 Buffer

    I haven't had a single issue with mine. It is the DA that I use most and I have that, the PCxp and the Griots.

    Sorry to hear you are having troubles with yours

    Re: Used Car Prep Offer

    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...

    Re: *NEW* Optimum Opti Dual Pro Applicator

    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...
  8. Re: The more I use a traditional DA, the more I'm amazed...

    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...

    Re: Having trouble removing swirls

    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...

    Re: simple green with clay bar?

    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...

    Re: flex or groits, Rotary user

    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...

    Re: D151 vs Meg 105

    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.

    What...
  14. Re: Review and Extreme Testing: Opti-Coat 2.0 and CQuartz

    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?
  15. Re: What is the Purpose of the Show n' Shine Forum?

    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...

    Re: Hplv, can't spray this...mc hammer

    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....
  17. Re: Recommended RPM's for OPT MF cutting pads??

    Now why exactly are the Opt pads rotary friendly and the Megs aren't?

    I know Opt is thicker but is there anything in the MF material that makes it more effective on a rotary?
  18. Re: Buying a new car...not a fun experience! **WARNING!! I RAMBLE IN WRITTING**

    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...
  19. Re: i think my brand new car was repainted at the factory

    Yes sir Mark. That is a great sign.
  20. Re: i think my brand new car was repainted at the factory

    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?
  21. Re: i think my brand new car was repainted at the factory

    Give me the VIN and I'll run a carfax (autocheck) for you. It prob won't say anything but we can know for sure. You can pm it to me if you'd like

    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...

    Re: Car Wash Stripped Product?

    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.

    Just a thought
  25. Re: What do you guys think about my services/prices before the website goes up?
