Got some things in over the last few weeks.

Surf City - Had to get some more Grime Destroyer, Clearly Better and Tire Dressing (not in pic) after Jason sent me some samples - great products.

Pads - Purple foam wool in 2 sizes, old sonus pads, and some LC spot buffs.

Clear painters buckets with gallon markers, grit guards and Optimum car wash plus some detail sticks.





Plus my new pride and joy.....Makita with the 3M backing plate. Thanks Phil!



And a got a change to polish out my hood and play with some wax the other night.....

 

very nice stuff.

 

Where did those painters buckets come from? I'd like some with gallon markings on them.

I'm trying to make a cheaper version of the Zaino buckets with grit guards and gamma seals. The water measurements are just icing on the cake.

 

Sweet order, your going to love the 3M backing plate...ur...if you don't love it already :thumb:

Hey that tub of Saphir has the old Swissvax name on it NICE!!

Love the beading picture :druling:

 

Is that an Excel Elite MF? Oh and I'd like to know where you got those buckets too as well, hehe. Thanks.

 

I got them at Lowe's and they are great. They even have a little foam padding on the handle...it's a nice touch.

Thanks Carlos. The 3m backing plate is fantastic....I honestly have an easier time using the Makita/3M combo than a I do my Flex orbital. The rotary just seems more natural. I'm loving the Swissvax also, can't wait to try it out on some dark vehicles...need to get some more beading shots! :applause2:

I won the autopia sweepstakes a while back at picked up some items - The MF was one of them...it's the Blue Perl buffing towel.

 

Sweet! Thanks. I may go have to check them out. I wonder how accurate the markings are? I have some 5 gallon plastic buckets that were used for brewing beer that have gallon markings on them but they were not accurate at all.

 

Hey Paul! Looks like your detailing collection is becoming almost as deep as your cigar collection. :applause2:

Glad to see you are enjoying that Swissol/Swissvax.

 

Oh yeah...I have taken over an entire room with my brewing, cigars and detailing supplies.

Me :headbang:

Wife :waiting:

Hope you have gotten a chance to enjoy those cigars I sent you Mike!

 

Those buckets from Lowe's are the best, and they are cheap as well. Love mine!

 

Not yet. I have acquired so many cigars over the last year. I don't think I've smoked the same kind of cigar twice yet.

 

sounds like we share the same passions. Cigars, brewing and cars!

 

yeah i was just about to say about the buckets.. very good.. i use them also but the grit guard doesnt fit all the way down...

 

The grit guards fit just fine in mine??
