Personally I love buffing a car and so am hesitant as to whether I want to work for a company that primarily seeks to use this stuff in replacement to traditional buffing.
Here's a picture I found from a company that uses the technology. Not that impressive but maybe worth it for some from cost point of view compared to repainting??

As I understand it the quality might not be quite as good as polishing but takes less than half the time it would to buff and therefore can be offered at a much cheaper price to still get a decent...
Hey guys have you come across this website - clear-fx.com? Just wondered what your thoughts on it are? I have a potential job offer to work in the auto detailing department at a company that uses...
Hey guys I have an aluminium boat to buff this weekend. Will my Porter cable and an ornate ccs cutting pad work followed by a polishing stage?? I have seen different pads used for buffing aluminium...
Hey guys I have an aluminium boat to buff this weekend. Will my Porter cable and a cutting oad work followed by a polishing stage?? Is there a big difference between using a compound like m105 and a...
Hey guys I am having trouble finishing up swirl free with the rotary buffer. Yesterday I worked on a black car. I cut it with a yellow medium foam pad, medium compound, 2200 rpm. I then buffed it...
This is really helpful, thank you. Another question - am I likely to leave swirls etc if I am only using a light cutting pad with a GS1 leveling polish (not compound)? I assume it's possible but less...
Thanks a lot guys. I work for a detail shop where they only use rotary machines and I have been used to DA. So they don't really offer smaller pads for the rotary, but wish they did.
Hi guys. I have recently started using a rotary buffer (Dewalt, 8" pads). However I have found controlling the buffer in smooth straight lines very difficult. It's like the buffer has a mind of its...
Generally m105 compound is quite hard to rub off. But just the constant action of wiping off the products adds to the labor. I guess I am asking this question as I have seen microfiber bonnets...
Hey guys, am just wondering what the quickest way is to remove/wipe off compound, polish and wax. This side of detailing can be quite hard work when done by hand using a microfibre towel. Would a...
Thanks guys. Would you dilute the Folex if using it for the whole car? And perhaps use it concentrated for specific stains? It seems like I really need to soak the carpet to get good results... is...
Hey guys I have been working on cleaning my car carpets with the DA cyclo brush and using folex for stains and laundry detergent for main clean. I am then sucking up the water/liquid with a wet vac....
Hey guys I am planning on using my DA with the aqua cyclo brush to clean the carpets of a friends car. I am probably going to use Meguires d101 product for the carpets or Folex. What I want to know...
Can you use Folex for cleaning entire carpets and upholstery of a car? Or is it only used for spot removal? Can I dilute the folex with water for general cleaning of car carpets and then use it...
Do you need to dilute the Folex with water? How far would a 32oz bottle get me if I was using it to spray the entire carpets, seats and upholstery of a car?
Hey guys I am planning to use my DA polisher with the aqua cyclo brush on the interior carpet and fabric seats of a friends car. What carpet cleaner should I get for this? I need it to remove stains...
Thanks everyone! Last question - what carpet/upholstery cleaner would you use? I have been thinking of the Meguires d101 all rounder. Is that good? Do I just mix it with water and then spray it on...
Can I use these brushes on seat fabric (as well as the floor carpet) or would they be too rough for the seats? Would perhaps the white brush be more suitable?
