getting a order together need help

[allenk4]

I tried the optimum microfiber and fg400 didn't touch the water spot etching. I pretty much realize that I will not be able to completely remove them but would like to make them better also what white and green pads from lake country or where

What technique were you using with that combo?

-Speed Setting

-Arm Speed

-Downward Pressure

-Number of Passes

speed 6 , slow arm speed, moderate pressure, probably 14x14 work spot

I have found that Purple Wool is really aggressive, see chart:

Lake Country DA Foam Pads Comparison Chart

Personally, I would try a less aggressive combination 1st.

I use the LC CCS Pads. They come in 6 1/2" and 5 1/2". I had the backing plate on my FLEX ground down to accommodate the 5 1/2" pads...love it!

For your PC, many suggest this backing plate from Lake Country:
lake country 5 inch backing plate, 5 inch backin plate, 5 inch hook and loop backing plate

This is spot on! Definitely try orange with FG400 first! It will more than likely remove the water spots. From there hit it with SF4000 and enjoy your clear and super glossy paint!

the orange ccs pad right. I thought the microfiber optimum had more cut im confused ?

It may or may not for you on a PC.

I think Optimum offers two different thicknesses. With a PC, you want the thin ones.

Optimum Polymer Technologies: Advanced Polymer Technology is in every Optimum Car Care Product. opt car care, optimum car wax, optimum car wash,

I have only used microfiber pads on a limited basis with an old 7424. I found that unless I cleaned them after every section pass, I did not get good cut at all. I used a pad brush, but many on the Forum suggest that compressed air is more effective.

[wildwilly1]

I did use the thin ones and did clean them with a brush every pass

I will order the orange pads to try first but I will also order either the thin lc purple wool or the meguirs micro fiber which one do you guys like better of the two

[hernandez.art13]

I used the Purple pads but found that I like these better. I was using them to remove 1500 and 3000 grit sanding marks at work however. So not sure if they would be to aggressive or not.
