good thing there is some distance then between you and his 130 lbs to protect you then huh? :)

After I threw that line out I was wondering if you would take the bait.

Thanks for the video !!! Very well explained !

It would be great a video about using the 7424XP on doors , corners , next to badges , overlapping a finished area...

The majority of buffing videos are on the hood , LOL .

Great vid Greg! I've been using the M105/M05 combo for years with my PC it I'm pretty tired of the short working times of the 105. What are your honest, unbiased opinions on the V36/V38 combo compared to what I've been using in the past. I'm already a hardcore CG customer for life so you don't have to sell me on the combo unless you think it's what I'm really looking for. It looks painless to use, with no dust or mess like the Meg's combo...that would be a selling point to me. It seems I spend more time re-cleaning the crap off customers cars which I'd rather be spending elsewhere on the car.

you can probably find something on YouTube, but you'll need to wetsand the car, then bring back the shine with some heavy duty cutting compound, a few polishes, and an LSP. Tons of work, but TOTALLY worth the end result! I did it on my old '95 and it won't from...

This:

Notice the dullish clearcoat where it almost looks dirty...

Wayyy more shine!! Good luck!

i have the combo and got some good results from it! just wish it had a little more cut, but they say that the V34 has it.

That would actually be fine, I don't really need so much cut. The V36 on an orange, and the V38 on a white, followed by EZ Creme glaze on a black, and a coat or AutoGlym or Pete's 53 and it should yield excellent results. I'm gonna give it a try and see what happens!
