Thanks Mike. Just getting ready to polish some glass for the first time, and wanted to make sure I didn't do something stupid. The first time I refinished some headlights I failed to put any kind...

Can anyone answer this question for me?

Pick up a used 60 gallon belt driven compressor on your local craigslist. Large compressors like that will last for decades, every with very little maintenance. You'll be able to run anything off...

Mike, do windshields have any sort of protective coating thats going to be removed and should be replaced? I'm thinking of headlights, where most have some sort of UV coating from the factory, and...

Autogeek, here are the Lake Country part numbers:
Specifications - Spot Buff Pads | Buffing & Polishing Products From Lake Country Manufacturing

I'd love to pick up a kit of 3" pads with a 3"...

Here's the solution, to anyone looking for 3" pads:
Lake Country 3" CCS Pad Kit

I don't understand why Autogeek won't sell these. They seem to sell everything else Lake Country makes.

bump.

really, no one knows the answer to this?

Anything over 6 CFM is going to require a huge, belt driven compressor. Anything over 12 CFM is going to require a 2 stage pump.

I wouldn't be surprised if an air powered DA sander required 14-15...

anyone have any recommendations for 3" pads? any options besides LC HT?

For anyone that destroys the cheap phillips head screws when taking the gear head apart, they are M4x0.7 x 16mm. They sell them at Home Depot, 4 to a pack for $1.05, with hex heads so they won't...

Did you put the backing plate back on yet? Mine went from quite a bit of vibration before the grease mod to virtually no vibration at all after the mod. But if the backing plate isn't installed,...

I wanted to share a trick I use when vacuuming out my cars.

I have this vacuum:

I have one in my 2 car garage; I can do the...

I am already benefiting from the incredibly responsive community. I posted a question earlier today and am already getting quite a few responses.

The other forum I'm pretty active on is BMW...

Seems like everyone is agreed that 3" pads are the way to go.

With the 3" pads, do you use the 2 7/8" backing plate? 1/8" doesn't sound like a lot of safety margin. And i don't think autogeek...

Hey everyone

I'm trying to pick out some spot buffing pads for my DA buffer. One of the two cars I detail is my girlfriends Mini Cooper, which has a lot of very narrow, curved painted areas that...

hey, new to the forum, wanted to say hellow. I've been a lurker for a while, have finally gotten around to joining. i just detail my own cars, but I'm pretty obsessive compulsive about car...

just finished doing this mod (plus the switch rotation mod and grease mod), i can't believe how good it looks. Thanks for the great write up.
