He hadn't released the clutch pedal yet, so i don't think it was that.
Probably has locked the flywheel though, so that'll be why the engine had stopped.
Some work in lbs per inch others are kg per mm.
Divide lbs by 56 to get kg or times kg by 56 to get lbs.
Just an easy way for people to work out what rate they need between brands.
I know, right! Watched one video where the guy sanded with the above mentioned 3M discs and then a hit with the UHS and it came out like a mirror pretty much. Bit OTT for the average car as it's really for hard German paint and wet sanding, but if you had to detail a car that had been washed...
Yeah, most of the Rupes pads aren't that cheap but they should last.
Not looked at their sanding discs, but i know the 3M Trizact discs are good, but they are dollar! Even go up to 6000 grit which makes the finish like glass!
Yeah, from what i've read the grey pad starts off rock hard but then goes really soft with the heat as you work the polish in, so you get the cut > refine stages.
Yeah they look good, as does the UHS polish system they have. It cuts, polishes and refines all in one. Seems to good to be true but the results look amazing.
Worth a look if you're wet sanding :up:
Pretty much this. If i was relying on a piece of plastic to support my wheels, i'd be very worried.
A mate of mine broke a spigot ring on his vxr, so we just bolted it on without it. Bit of a pain to do but it was fine for 1000's of miles until he could be bothered to replace it.
