    I don't understand buffing pad colors

    I recently got a set of 3" buffing/polishing pads off Amazon and I need to get a better understanding about how to use them in general. If there's a tutorial out there that explains them I'd appreciate a link. I don't have the chart in front of me right now, but I believe the instructions that...

    Saving this '02 Taurus clear coat

    Thanks guys. Last thing. If I order some base color coat from touchupdirect, do I have to use THEIR 2K clear or can I use a different brand like Dupli-Color?

    Saving this '02 Taurus clear coat

    I've got this '02 Taurus that has aged unusually badly on the hood roof and trunk top, and if I can just get these parts addressed the car will look so much better. I'm not aiming for anything close to perfect...just trying to make these look better so your eye isn't drawn right to them. Rest...

    el naturale tire dressing

    I want a tire dressing that's very flat with no sheen at all. Ideally I'd like it to leave the tire just looking like very fresh rubber. Problem is, everything the local car store carries gives a gloss. Is there a tire dressing that's specifically known to give the look I'm wanting? I'll...

    polish pads and compounds for my old jeep?

Since the fender flares were looking worn I just finished repainting them with a rattle can base color...

    Need 7" polisher suggestion

    Yeah Greg that Rupes looks like a great polisher. I'm finding used Griot's G9s on the ebay for about 100. Lots of them look almost brand new, except they're offered without the wrench that comes in the box. How important is that wrench and what kind of trouble might I run into if I got one...

    Need 7" polisher suggestion

    I need an ok quality dual action DA 7" polisher. It'll get just DIY type use so it doesn't need to be as high in quality as say a professional would need. Been spending a lot of $$ lately on tools/equipment so I'm trying to save some here. Hopefully there's something out there around the $100...

    Converting an angle grinder into a polisher

    Is there a conversion spindle that lets a regular angle grinder turn a 7" polishing pad, basically converting it into a polisher? If so, what is the part called and where can I find it? Thanks.
