Yes I did catch that. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, I can't get a hold of those pads in Ontario so I will be making the best with what I have for now. Thanks for all the help!
I appreciate the extra help! I'm using 6.5" pads with no difficulty now. Only trouble I'm finding is they break apart easier than the ccs pads did. I think next time I'll skip the hydrotech and go...
Couldn't agree more. The trouble with dealerships is they tend to rely on local distributors who only bring in certain products. So we have maybe 3 options. Luckily one can order in other products,...
Appreciate the encouragement! I got the SF4000 because I was worried I would need the extra cut coming straight from the FG400. But the FG400 finishes extremely well,so I might just try the sf4500...
I would highly suggest the Menzerna! It's worth every penny. Even at regular price, it's better value than most other products as you won't use as much or need as many different products. Good luck!
Well, my first post regarding the Flex was not completely positive. It was hard switching from a rotary to the 3401, the vibrations, the ergonomics and new pads were all hard to get used to. Two...
It feels like there is a lot of strong feelings about auto geek as an online resource. I've learned a lot from here over the years, only recently have I joined as a member. It's one of many great...
By having a shop I don't mean literally having a physical shop. I guess I should have said having a business. In these times it's not easy to have a physical shop and only offer detailing. By saying...
Just to be thorough, I still don't think Pshiny is wrong. There is a lot of 'professionals' that shouldn't be advertising themselves that way or touching customers paint. There's also a lot of...
I agree! There's no reason to stop or shy away. As in most industries, its all about pushing yourself to try new things and continue learning through all available options. I think its good that OP...
It's not necessary, but there is a lot that can be learned outside the web. I've met many in the business who have worked for 15-20, even 30 years and still make beginners mistakes. To continue...
There's a lot of good information out there on forums, youtube, et cetera but I have to agree with Pureshine. You can only learn so much without having someone teach and mentor you. I'm not saying...
It's certainly not always greener on the other side. This going from high end dealership to private and back to dealerships again. I've made $16hr at most. It my next home has a shop I will likely...
I'm locally limited to CCS or hydro. Maybe I will make a big purchase in the future to justify the price over the border. For now, I'll rest easy that the LC pads I have now are working as intended....
Whats the difference between the hydrotech pads and the hybrid? Is it worth it for me to buy across the border for them or just stick with the CCS and hydrotech?
I've been on speed 5 for compounding, I'll try 4 and see what I get. I find the vibration worse at lower speeds, I put the handle back on and have better control.
Unfortunately I can't get the hydro tech pads from my local dealer in Ontario.
Day 2 and I'm getting more used to the 3401. I had two black cars today and only used the Flex. I've found it's a big...
I'm currently using the LC Hydrotech. They are nice pads, I think I prefer the CCS though. I'm definitely going to try the rotary, I used one of the original flex rotaries and really liked it, I...
It only came with the bale handle. I imagine the side would be more comfortable. We'll see how it progresses! I am happy with the results, just some adjustment time needed I hope.
I also think my...
I posted awhile back about decided between the 3401 and the pe14 150. I ended up going with the 3401, just received it in the mail today.
I work on two and a half cars today, thought I would quickly...
I use to work at Mercedes and we used it there, I'm now at Mitsubishi and they have a similar product. The one thing I liked about it was while doing customer details the water repelled off the car...
