I purchased the HF digital rotary buffer awhile back for about $40, to compound the gelcoat on my camper. It worked fantastic. Weighs a ton, so my arms and shoulders got a workout, but did exactly...

Jet:
I do only my own vehicles as well. My test spots (on some defects) did not reveal a satisfactory result. I, also, firmly believe in the information contained within the AG realm.

Been reading here for along time. Learned a huge amount from this site and it's members & staff. Here are my comments and questions after last nights wax job.

Car: 2012 Mazda CX-9 with rather...

My experience and new towel cleaning method:

I also, was unsuccessful at getting my towels clean previously. I did various different soak methods with unsat (to me) results at the end of the...

Completely agree with the above posts. I am absolutely not an expert, and I have only buffed my RV once. This is what I did, and it was a complete success.

Washed with dishsoap and hot water...

Car looks tight, as-is!!! Congrats on the retirement.

I have the GG D/A as well, along with 6.5" pads. Love it and they work great. I recently purchased a 5" plate with some 5.5" pads, for the reasons listed above. Haven't tried them yet, but I...

I am newer to this game than most, but I was having the same heat issue you are describing. My fix: When I polish and/or wax, I use 3 of the same pad in a rotation. Do a section, clean the pad,...

Looks fantastic! Never woulda thought that those seat could come clean.

Awesome teamwork on this job!

Obviously this product combo works, well!...

Also, check my reply to your post in my RV thread. I described which machines/pads I used for each product. The thread also has a pic of the products I used. Those products were recommended by...

Dave - I bought the five pack of white wool pads from HF at the same time I bought my Rotary. They worked great, and the price was good. I clean mine after every section (with the frowned-upon...

Dave - I picked up the 5-pack of white wool pads at HF when I bought the rotary. They worked great for compounding. To date, I have destroyed one (caught it on a corner edge piece and ripped it -...

Thanks B&B. I am sore. hehe Not quite finished, but I'll get the door-side started and finished this week, at a non-rushed pace.

Spurious thought: I can't imagine trying to do this without...

Alright, status update. Finished the driver's side of the trailer, and the rear as well this weekend. Looking fantastic so far.

First pic: My ghetto detail cart. It was free, so no complaints...

So we'll give this a shot since my other camera is giving me fits. Plenty of pics, but there is an issue with them. Here is what I accomplished today.

First pic: Nose is finished. Shiny and...

So I'm about to get started on this rather large job. We have a 2006 Weekend Warrior LE 3305. Gel coat all around, and it's looking rather rough. About a month ago, I received some counselling...

All I can say is "WOW". Looks great. My 04 F250 looks to be the same blue (could be a tick lighter - not sure), and all I've done is a polish and wax of it. Looks pretty good roght now, but I...

Favorite product: Showtime Instant Detailer, because it works so well as a quick-cleaner as well as being an awesome clay-lube. I've never left marks on my vehicles while using it, so that speaks...

Ditto. Not sure I want the DA getting all that on it (was thinking wheel wells too).

That being said, I have a new Harbor Freight rotary buffer that I purchased for the sole purpose of...

I did my F-250 last month, with Blackfire TP&S (AIO) and a nice coat of wax. The top-of-the-cab ribs were of concern to me, however I was careful and didnt spend to much time with the buffer on the...

I am new to this game, and I have had fantastic success with Blackfire Total Polish & Seal. It's an All-In-One polish and sealant. My beater truck still has lots of deep scratches, but the paint is...

As another new member here, I agree with your idea to practice on another vehicle before you take on the nice one. I did the same. Practiced on my beater truck (95 ranger), prior to taking on the...

Not using any pressure at all. Had to work on that and be really concious of the way I was using the unit, but I think I have the hang of it.

Not gonna say that I clean the pads after every...

Pulled the backing pad off for the first time, and the washer was there. Reinstalled the pad so it doesn't get lost.
