I received my Flex XFE 7 in the mail the other day and put it to work pronto. It did a great job and it has a bunch more power than my Griots 3". I was worried about it stalling out , but I had no...
Started detailing my daughters 2015 VW Passat yesterday using the new Pinnacle Jeweling wax. I wanted to see how it do with an average amount of light scratches using a LC white hybrid pad and Flex...
Always wash your dirtier MF towels separate from your good MF polishing towels. A lot of people accumulate misc. mf towels some good ones , some not so good and eventually you might start using mf...
Fantastic job everyone !! I grabbed a bottle of the Jeweling wax on my last order and it really is amazing stuff.
Mike, I was curious about what pads you used while buffing ? It looks like orange...
I use the AG Cobra waffle weave to dry and I have many of the Gold Plush Jr., and super plush Jr. (lavender) towels.
My show car was recently painted and it seems to have a softer clear coat. For...
I just received my first shipment of towels from TRC. I picked up the 16x16 Pluffle, Minx, Eagle 350, and for grins I grabbed a Eagle 600 towel. I haven't had a chance to use these new towels yet,...
This product seems like it would be great for getting rid of the micro marring that is left from my car cover. After investing a good paint job, many $$$$ worth of Auto...
Just wondering if anyone has done a comparison between the new Flex XFE 3" mini polisher and the Griot's 3" polisher ?
I have the Griot's 3" polisher and for me it lacks the power needed to drive...
I just received my Scangrip Matchpen light the other day and it clearly out does my LED light I was using... I was using a 400 lumen LED light, but it seems the Scangrip is a whiter looking light. I...
I've been polishing aluminum for years and I just used the Wolfgang Metal Sealant on my polished aluminum and it looks great. No cloudy residue, easy on , easy off.

You won't get anywhere polishing the aluminum if it is clear coated or anodized. To get the mirror shine from aluminum, you have to get to bare metal, then you do the sanding if needed stopping at no...
Never use a buffing wheel on chrome parts, take it from someone who learned the hard way. All it does is put a haze or light scratching in your chrome and once chrome is scratched it needs to be...
Used my Cobra Clay Mit (nanoskin) for the first time today as opposed to the clay and WOW, it's easier to use, just wash it out and keep going, no kneading or worrying about rubbing old contaminates...
Hello Mike and forum,
I took my 64 Galaxie to have the front suspension re-built and the mechanic did a great job and even went above and beyond expectation. He was nice enough to paint the upper...
Thanks for posting that Mike, I was really sweating there for a while when I saw the tape line..... I have never had trouble before when taping off areas working on my other vehicles, or on recently...
As beginner, I would buff over the tape and as you said , heat the glue up or roll the tape up a bit with the buffer. After buffing , I would have little spots of tape residue sticking to the cars...
I had my 64 Galaxie repainted about a year ago and I haven't sealed the paint just yet. I have a dark metallic blue paint job and there were some light holograms left on the car from the body shop. I...
Thanks for the reply fellas ! Thankfully the paint is not a metallic color so it will be interesting to see how much of the oxidation comes off on the towels. I'll post pics when we start the project.
I have a friend who wants his 73 Mustang buffed and the car was repainted some time ago. The color now is Candy Apple Red,but the trunk and hood are so faded that they look orange.
I did a test spot...
