    Re: Pure Sine Inverter set up or Gas Generator

    Are you asking about an inverter/generator (on the inverter side) or a large inverter downstream of a bank of batteries charged by your alternator?

    If the latter, even though the price of the...

  4. Re: A 2000 Lumen 6000k LED inspection light for $30!

    Thanks!

    I was looking at one manufacturer whose light was rated to 36v, but after considering the batteries peak at around 38v, I decided against it. This light isn't rated quite as high an output...
  5. Re: Newbie Question - Best 2006 MB Black (040) polish?

    I love the coincidental timing. I was going to recommend switching to a glaze at this point (given the low levels of clear) and two posts above yours is a 4 year old thread about Poorboy's Black Hole...
  6. A 2000 Lumen 6000k LED inspection light for $30!

    Well, almost.

    Re: FLEX PE8 uses

    Your vehicle speed analogy is correct as far as speed at the outside of a circle. If we use the 1500 RPM you mentioned and the car had 6" tires, it would go twice as fast as if it had 3" tires.

    Re: FLEX PE8 uses

    Given that it's designed for 3" and under pads, the 1300 RPM is plenty low.

    In algebra terms, the linear velocity is directly proportional to the radius and angular velocity. In other words, a 3"...

    Re: Polisher Decision

    As is often the case, I part ways with the crowd!

    For under $300 you can have the three top machines all in one. One of the top rotaries, a large stroke free spindle random orbit (like a Rupes but...

    Re: How do/would you charge employees?

    I've always preferred piecework. As their knowledge increases so will their production and therefore pay. Also, it makes it a little more straightforward when it comes time to fix errors--either they...

    Re: How many cars can I do with 32oz m205?

    Right, so do I. I'm referring to using it by machine with a MF pad as opposed to a foam pad. In addition to the increased absorption by the MF pad, the entire process benefits from a wetter working...

    Re: How many cars can I do with 32oz m205?

    I agree with the consensus of ~15 cars. When using it with a MF finishing pad (GREAT combo!) that number goes down due to higher use, but I still find it an outstanding value and I will never be...

    Re: looking to get my first rotary

    I agree to test the waters first!

    In regards to the DeWalt, why not just get a new dwp849x? Then you get the soft start. Some careful shopping will have it to you for $168. Then, down the line, if...
  14. Re: Using Extreme, Super, Heavy cut compounds for Headlighs?

    Be careful with the Ceriglass--It needs to be used wet and will sling everywhere! I think so much time will be spent protecting surrounding areas from the sling that it will be a net negative. It's...

    Re: 4 Color Changing Wheel Cleaners go Head to Head

    Thanks for the testing!

    Adam's is the cheapest and works as well as any (albeit without the color change), looks like I'll have to get some!

    I've given it a whirl a couple times on test panels, especially when the car is single stage. I still end up grabbing M205, though. Nothing particularly bad about its performance, just nothing...

    I still suggest to carefully shop used. If, however, only new will due, take a look at Northern Tool. I used to have their big two gun trailer and it was filled with quality components. Some of their...

    Re: hot/steam pressure washer

    Doesn't have to be too expensive. I found a used Therma Kleen 1000 (1000 psi, turns to REAL steam) for $350. There is a marked difference between a hot water pressure washer and a true steam capable...
