    Re: Marine 31 Boat Coating

    I used it on my 33' Tiara and didn't really see a better result compared to just using a good sealant. You may want to check in with Corey at CarPro possibly and see what he says about maybe using...
  2. Re: How do you know whens pads are worn out?

    Yea he has some very real world practical info. I agree on most of his stuff. He's not out there spending all his effort to sell things. He's being realistic and showing you it can be done without a...
  3. Re: How do you know whens pads are worn out?

    He states that he fully cleans the pad then spins it dry and then continues to use it. Not just clean on the fly.

    I personally like to use 4-6 cutting pads and wash them all at the end. Usually...
  4. Re: Just a heads up on the Boss Backing Plates.

    Mine came with 2 that I had to install on the 6 inch. When I bought my 5 inch it came with none. So I have to switch them back and fourth which is annoying. Need to go out and get some more for the...

    Re: Porsche 928 single stage

    Their pads are killer. A shame they don't get the attention like some other brands. They are a bit more costly which may be part of it.
  6. Re: suggestions for these deeper swirl marks?

    And as already stated if you can't measure the paint you may not want to go chasing everything.
  7. Re: suggestions for these deeper swirl marks?

    You should make a mark on your backing plate with a permanent marker so you can see it rotating and then run the machine at speed 6 and apply pressure until you see the backing plate begin to slow...

    I'm in love with my boss 21. I still use my flex 3401 but I'm really happy with the 21.
  9. Re: Swirl finder I can find at a store near me

    My honest opinion is you can use about any good quality led light. I use a tactical led light that has two levels on it and it works great. Try out a couple from Walmart if they don't work out for...

    Re: Advise on machine for 3" pads

    I have used 3 inch pads on my gg6 but I'm much happier for light to medium work using my rupes lhr75e and for more severe defects my flex pe-14 with 1,2 or 3 inch pads.

    The gg6 with 3 inch pads...

    Re: Hard black paint... newbie nightmare!

    I would say you are looking pretty good and had a great improvement. Going any harder may not really be worth it taking more clear off to fix scratches.

    Re: plastic trim damage

    With marks that deep you don't have many options because it's so deep. So cutting it down is going to leave a noticeable spot either way. You could try sanding it down smooth and painting the plastic...

    Re: Weather & Coating related question

    The curing outside is not 100% needed on the coating to get a super durable great result. I've done a lot of cars in winter before I had curing lamps and they never had any issues sitting in my...

    Re: More CQuartz Questions

    You can use spray wax/sealant products but the same issues are there as with wax. You lose the properties of the coating a little bit while that spray product is on.

    I think you will like doing the microfiber after the suede towel. Sometimes I notice the suede towel smearing around the coating and not leveling it off well. The regular mf towels seem to clean it...

    I find that I do a bit heavier of a coating when I use cquartz and it comes out streak free. My tips are to use their suede towels to initially wipe down after applying and then switch to a standard...

    Re: Cquartz question(or coating in general)

    My first coating I ever applied was the detailers pro coating. It was way super easy but also gave me an idea what I was looking for and there is plenty of time to level high spots.
