    Ordered a Griot's 3" Polisher

    Ordered my first mini polisher, a Griot's 3 inch. I am mostly a hobbyist, so I cannot justify buying an expensive Flex or similar.

    At any rate, my other machine I have had since 2014 is the...

  10. Re: Is an uppostry brush supposed to come with a washer?

    Try not to laugh too hard, but I am cleaning tile grout and going to scrub grease spots on the driveway with it. I will probably buy some softer ones for cleaning floor mats and seats. Thanks for...

    I don’t have a paint thickness gauge. I did this one by the seat of my pants.

  13. Re: Fixed my First Scuff/Scratch... First time Wet Sanding factory clear

    Thanks. I almost forgot the fingernail test. I tested to see if a fingernail would be caught in the scratch... it wasn't. Generally, from all I have read this means there is hope to remove it. If...
  14. Re: Fixed my First Scuff/Scratch... First time Wet Sanding factory clear

    You should. That paint is 6 years old having been compounded and polished at least a couple times, yet compound never took out that scratch.

    What I did was first try 2000 grit paper, and it...

  17. Re: Been a While Since Detailing... Buying New Products. Which ones to get?

    Yeah the plan is to slap a foam polishing pad on a 5" backing plate then slap some SF 4500 on it and see if it cleans up 100%. It would likely leave deeper swirls. If that fails, wipe the pad off...

    Mr. Phillips:

    As always, it is a pleasure. In fact, you first helped me out long, long ago "using the least aggressive product," "wash, clay, clean, polish, protect," and "two bucket method" etc....

    Re: Does the Paint Match

    Apparently they sprayed the K23 Brilliant Silver instead of K23 Liquid Platinum. I would think they would take the time to get the right code, name, and variant... then from there make a good faith...

    Re: Does the Paint Match

    Took it to another shop for a second opinion. They used a color match system to put it up to the paint and get the color.

    The color for the untouched areas came up K23 Liquid Platinum, and the...

    Re: Does the Paint Match

    I spoke to them, and they say they will fix it by buffing it. It does have a ton of orange-peal, but in my experience it would need to be wet sanded probably starting around 2000 to 1200 increasing...

    Yeah. Well it is darker in the back, but it is only darker in certain light conditions. Overall, is this something I should complain or shut up about?
