    I had a Lexus with it and it was only washed for over two years. Used M105/wool, then finished up with UF, almost made the clear bra invisible it came out so clear after that.

    I know the 3M backing plate is not cheap but it works great. The yellow foam is so soft, I was really surprised when I started using it.

    Can't wait to try the 3m foam pads with it.

    hmmmm..that's odd...perhaps I shifted it around with all the playing around I've been doing...I'll have to load it up again and post a new link to it, sorry about that :sorry:

    Check back at the end of the day, it should be back up and running.

    Nica, great videos bro, really helpful! Thanks for the effort

    I meant to tell you about that tap the green one you used,
    in my car it took some paint of the painted trim edges on the windows! :(
    I checked with 3M they said it has a stronger glue
    than the blue tap, so I switched to blue tap immediately

    Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feed back :peace:

    As for the green tape, to be honest I've never had any issues with it but I'll keep my eyes open for it...see I switched over from the blue to the green becuase when I would pass over the blue tape with my Metabo the glue would get all over the paint and make a big mess, I haven't had the same problem with the green tape..but I'll definetly keep what you have shared with me in the back of my mind, thank you for sharing that info :thumb:

    Thanks for the video, was wondering how 3m protection should be maintained since i'll be applying some to my new bodykit later.
