    Exclamation Gold Jewelling Pad

    Hello AG and fellow forum members. I'm pretty new (as a member), and i recently purchased the pcxp kit and decided to get the these pads with the kit - 2 Oranges, a Coarse Green, a White and a Gold; also got the purple wool pad and some cobra mf bonnets. I understand how the other pads work, but i'm just really curious of the gold pad. I have been searching the forum looking for some information on how to maximize the benefits of using the softest foam pad to no avail. Any insight from the gods of the detailing world? How do we use this pad..and with what?

    Here's my plan, assuming i'm done with washing, cleaning, claying, etc.:
    1. m105 on the wool pad
    2 m105 on the orange pad
    3. m205 on the orange pad
    3. m205 on the coarse green pad
    4. m205 on the gold pad

    What should i expect from this? This is more like practice in itself and i am also not sure if i'm just not going to reap any benefits over too much polishing..LOL. It might just be overkill, but, i'm a perfectionist by nature aside from being a car enthusiast...quite O.C. if you would like to put it.

    Thank you!

    Expect some really worn down paint lol. Why so much buffing?
    Its simply 105/OJ then 205/white.

    Wool needs to be left to rotary. Yellow CCS pads are pretty good on a PC.

    Just do 105/orange, 205/white and you'll be solid.

    The gold jeweling pad is more for rotary because it's so soft. Hell, when I jewel the paint I use a blue CCS pad and Ultrafina. Works just fine for me, but then again it's on a rotary.

    My paint is 28 coats thick (8 coats of base, 9 coats of pearl and 11 coats of clear)...well still about just a stack of 3-4 sheets of paper. It's freshly painted, 2months old, and 1month has passed since it has been wet-sanded. My problem is, the rotary left swirl marks. So that's why i'm planning to do some compounding and polishing. Mike placed a copy of the picture on my album (i haven't figured out how to get there either).

    Does it mean i have no use for the gold jewelling pad? what a waste..was hoping i could really get an eye-blinding shine with it.

    Re: Gold Jewelling Pad

    Forgot to mention. It was on a show last weekend. I just hid the swirlmarks with a glaze cause i still don't have the DA yet. Another reason why i really want to do so much polishing. I want it to outshine at least most of the other entries during shows.

    Haha well as zinc and I said, just use 105/oj and 105/white (dont forget to do IPA wipedowns after 105 and 205). Like he said, wool is for the rotary. Thats why I didnt know anything about it cause I use a PC. Just use those to correct the paint, put some sealant on, then put 3 coats of wax on in 24hr intervals so each coat can fully cure.

    Just keep them, the more you get into it, the more likely you will pick up a rotary down the road, then you CAN use them.

    Or, I am sure you can find someone to trade them to for some other type of product.
