Did a Wash & Wax and further protected this 2014 Subaru Impreza with Opti Coat 2.0 today. It took longer time for the coating to cure due to the freezing temperature but the end result is well worth the wait ! http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...psdefholjw.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...pso8eekzyh.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ps7us5rsmh.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...pszviumrgv.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...psohi4sait.jpg |
Did a headlight restoration on a 04 matrix with really bad oxidation. Have not been able to find a product that is able to completely seal the restoration in and make it last for more than a few months though. Anything you guys would recommend? http://i64.tinypic.com/2ut1few.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/241tbms.jpg |

Looks good! I recently picked up some Gloss-Coat from Amazon in the states for $36USD so about $50 CAD. Can't wait to give it a go in the spring. |

What product are you using to protect it now? If your customer isn't paying for them to be coated (Gloss coat, C Quartz, 22PLE, etc) then seal them with a sealant like menzerna powerlock or collinite 845. |

You need to get body shop quality clear coat. Lordco has 2k clear coat which works pretty well. However, it's bad for your lungs so make sure you spray in a well ventilated area and have respirator. |

Griot's Garage vs Porter Cable 7424XP Which ones do you guys like more. The Griot's garage atm is $154 while the porter cable is $147. |
I bought my refurb 7424 for ~$100 locally. Haven't had any issues with it in the 20hrs+ of run time so far. Comes with 6 months warranty anyways. |

Sorry I didn't list where i found the deals. The cheapest PC I found was Autogeek for 105USD + 20% off, + ($5 off, 3.5% cash back from couponcabin). But the shipping was $22 to Point Roberts. So roughly 140 CAD Amazon has the Griot's garage for 153 CAD. I think I will go with the Griot I asked around the forums and everyone said its superior. |

It comes with a 6.5" Backing plate. Should I still get a 5"? Also any ideas on the griot's polishing pads and chemical guys. Kinda wish I had a list of what pads to buy lol http://www.amazon.ca/Griots-Garage-6...ttl_B00LJ3BYRK http://www.amazon.ca/Chemical-2-Inch...ys+pads+6+inch |

EDIT: Checked with Alex, he has 5" plates in stock. |

I just got a 7424xp from homedepot.com for 105 us total to pt roberts. Will Everything Car Care backing pads work with the PC? I believe they should be universal? Did some researching and looks like ill need a 5' backing plate, 5' pads (cut, polish, and finishing?), a compound, a polish, and a wax. Anything im missing for some beginner swirl removing? |
My Griot's Garage is coming in 2 days :) $160 Cad. Gotta load up on the plates and pads before they come. |
