1st machine polish product plan review

[CEE DOG]

This is for personal vehicle: Red Saturn Sky
Paint mostly in very good condition (very tiny micro scratches only visible from up real close in certain light, a couple water spots, 1 or 2 thin "actual" scratches.

Thanks to a lot of help from you "aegian's" here are the products I have decided on __%:

Griots 6" DA (100%)

Menzerna Polish PO85RD (97%)
Menzerna Power Finish PO 203 (85%)

1 extra 6" backing plate (100%)
3.5" Dual Action Flexible Backing Plate (100%)
LC Hydro-Tech 6.5 Inch Foam Pads 3 Pack (2 tangerine/1 cyan) (85%)
LC Hydro-Tech 4 x 1.25 Inch Foam Pad (2 tangerine/1 cyan) (85%)
Meguiars Soft Buff™ 2.0 Foam Finishing Pad, 7 inches (95%)

Foam Pad Conditioning Brush (90%)
Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner (90%)
Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner (90%)

I am having a hard time with the pads. I was sure I was going to go with the LC Hydro-Tech pads but at the end of this review I saw from Mike that I need a less aggressive pad at least for my finishing polish (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/20751-1957-chevrolet-belair-extreme-makeover-flex-3401-wolfgang-smackdown.html (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/20751-1957-chevrolet-belair-extreme-makeover-flex-3401-wolfgang-smackdown.html))

I'm not sure if the LC H-T system is too aggressive for my paint. So this is my dilemna. PLEASE HELP

Also a little unsure on the Menzerna Power Finish PO 203.

Any comments and feedback is appreciated!

Those HT pads are great and the Tangerine and the WG glaze left no marring. I think you will be fine but if you want you could always add a Black CCS pad to the order. If you read it again he was not using the finishing pad for the polish he was using it for the Wolfgang 3.0 sealant, that's a LSP not a polish.

"There is no finishing pad in the new LC Hydro-Tech Pad system at the time of this project so we used a Meguiar's W9207 Softbuff Finishing pad (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-finishing-pad.html) on the 3.0 setting to apply the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 (http://www.autogeek.net/wg5500.html)"


The only thing I would change is I don't think you need a spare 6" backing plate the Griot's is pretty heavy duty. And I would choose the WG polishes, they are tweaked hybrid Menzerna and they are on sale!. Wolfgang 16 oz. Swirl Remover Combo, Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, Wolfgang Finishing Glaze, Wolfgang polishes (http://www.autogeek.net/wolfgang-swirl-remover-combo.html)

Looks Good CEE DOG!:buffing:
