I met Todd about 9 years ago in Hayward during a Rupes demonstration and not only did he know what he was talking about but also a very nice guy who was very passionate about what he was talking about. To this day I still use his tips and advice for my 2005 Mustang GT and with under 100k miles on her, my baby STILL looks like new! Thanks Auto Geeks and thanks Todd!!

Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use kzfaq.infoUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

Any idea why im getting dings on my car from orbital polisher? Rookie polisher using a new flex 15mm with polish pad and polisher. Ended up with three dings. One on back hatch, one on rear door in the middle of panel and one on raised edge on passenger door. Not sure what im doing wrong. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Heat find a pdr guy to fix it

@willgee.1483 Ай бұрын

Because the flex is a much stronger force vs Rupes. The Bigfoot is better for a beginner vs flex is more for a professional in my opinion. I had both and I ended up returning my flex and kept my rupes Bigfoot. That was in 2015 and in 2024 I still use this machine and I still am happy with it.

I have a question, what if some one leaves the polish on the pad for like a year after , and they use a polishing pad cleaner and let the pad dry , is it ok to use that pad again, or throw it away?

@autogeek Жыл бұрын

If the polish cleans out of the pad 100%, then it should still be good to use no problem.

@chrisnas1483 Жыл бұрын

@@autogeek yes its out of the pad, but what if you don't have an air to blow out the pad, what can you use , air in a can?

And the pad looks like a mouse scraped it a little, will it be ok to use

@autogeek Жыл бұрын

@@chrisnas1483 Air would help but is not necessary. We would recommend using a dedicated pad cleaner and letting the pad soak in it for some time to allow the cleaner to dissolve the dry polish inside the pad. Agitate the pad to get it clean and rinse out with clean fresh water thoroughly. Let it air dry with the velcro side up so the water runs away from the adhesive. If the scrape is miniscule, then it should not affect the performance of the pad.

Why am i just watching this after doing two days of wash, clay, compound and wash, polish. Looked good and better but i can tell there was still swirls created when i did the compound that didn’t get removed. Thanks i will definitely keep cleaning the pads. I was wondering why they kept drying faster than when I started.

Did you go over it with a finishing polish?

@FreestylistJtWord Жыл бұрын

There's a technique to not swirl , depends on what you use to

@jayscott4513 Жыл бұрын

The remaining swirls should have been cut out with a rotary buffer prior to using the DA… DA buffers only cut so far and are better used to finish and not paint correction.

@FreestylistJtWord Жыл бұрын

Yeah and also there are different tanks now that are really soft especially tuxedo black. Better to use a polishing compound than trying to cut it with something that's gritty. Honestly I ran into other pants that I believe we're not painting correctly at the factory. Clippers literally almost nothing you can do to get to stop so you had to move really slow at 2000 RPMs

Agree 100% because so have I. If you buy good pads they surprisingly last a long time. Some dont last long but others like Shinemate Diamond surface foam pads as well as Chemical Guys Hexlogic Foam pads I find to be very long lasting. All you got to do is just clean your pad after each pannel and all you will need is one for cutting compound and one for polish compound

Well I agree and disagree, Yes certain situations one pad can definitely go the full car but that’s really up to the cars paint condition. Having multiple pads will definitely speed up the process and ensure maximum performance. Also, having a collection of pads is a must since every car is not the same.
