I'm surprised that my post grew to 5 pages. My car has no garage, is parked outside 24x7, but has ceramic pads for which I cannot detect dusting compared to the oem semi-metallics. I drive around...

I picked up a bottle of Meguiar's Iron Removing Spray "Clay DRTU200232. It makes no difference spraying even on the fenders and lower doors. I guess I have no iron particulates.
I just finished...

I'm using Centrix Posi-Quiet ceramic bads. Brake dust is almost undetectable with these vs the oem semi-metallic.
The Oem's tend to warp the rotors more easily as well.

My local Napa carries the Meguiars Iron Removing Spray "Clay" DRTU200232 !!!, I hope I can get it early in the day.

Yes, I believe Meguiars makes a similar product. The autobody and paint supply store stocks some Meguiars stuff.
I can check online if Autozone or Advanced auto carries another brand too.

I will be polishing and sealing the car tomorrow because the weather will be perfect. I don't have a garage.
It would take until this weekend to ship a new bottle of IronX to me. So I guess I will...

Ah, The expiration is on the bottom. Well it appears that I bought this before covid, my memory is faulty. The bottom sticker says "25 6 20", so it would seem that it is expired. Will have to...

I sprayed some IronX on a rusty nail and waited a bit, and did get purple residue on the nail. Perhaps the stuff gets weak from sitting in a bottle for a year, though I see no expiration date.
I...

I have a bottle of IronX which I believe I purchased last year. Never opened the bottle.
This is the first time using this product.

A few moments ago, I sprayed the hood of my car with the IronX...

I received the G9 today. I like it very much, with the exception of one detail. I have large hands and wear 2XL size gloves. The handgrip around the buffing pad shroud (below the platypus head)...

I read the article from Mike on DA polishing up to raised edges on car panels that have them:...

I would expect that the G9 uses a standard thread, since it supposedly takes the GG 5" vented backing plate. I wonder if it is because of the diameter of the shroud/handgrip that one could not...

I purchased the 5" Vented Griot's Backing Plate, P/N 10550 from AutoGeek, I am hoping that that will fit. I have a lot of 5.5 Lake Country Pads. It is dizzying that every mfg recommends their...

Sounds like the carbon on the initial brushes or the contact spring and power lead was defective. I also noted that the head has cut outs for a D handle like the G6, but I talk to Griot's and the...

Apparently you are doing this as a business and have a heavy hand :-) (just kidding on the hand, have to keep the pad rotating)

Brushless DC motors would work even better, but I assume they would...

I had bought the 5" ventilated griot's plate from AG, so that is good. Too bad it will not take a 3" backing plate. Probably because the shroud/grip gets in the way.

Have you actually worn through your brushes?

Looking forward to the review. Thank you.
With a motor, as you would want in a car as well, you would like high torque at a low speed,
which should enable better polishing. From the specs it...

I just ordered a G9, I had a G6 that I got from Amazon less than a month ago, unopened, so I can send it back. However I have a 5" backing plate for a G6 and hope that it will fit. I ? assume it...

I'm glad I found this out today. The microfiber towels I was using had been used and washed before with Micro Restore, but there is no telling if the individual fibers were less soft than normal....

Bob,

I washed the car a few days ago and had not driven anywhere. I used some Meguiars's quick detailer and then some RM wax and grease remover before working on the paint area. Yes indeed, I...

Mike,

I used a regular grade Meguiars gold microfiber cloth. I have many more plush microfiber towels, but was trying not to have to re-wash my extra good stuff. I should also mention that I...

I happened to be playing around with Langka blob eliminator on a few slightly deep scratches on my driver's door.

It appeared that the blob eliminator caused some fine scratches into the finish,...

Mgavin,

I just watched a 3 month after video on youtube of various coatings, but waxes also. But the guy insists on spraying the test hood vertically sitting on the ground with a pressure washer...

Bob,

I worded that poorly. I was first thinking that a junked car's paint could be used as a testbed. Then I realized that it would be better if it could drive. I should have said "junker...
