Hi Folks,
I have a new (to me) situation.
I always follow the basic "use the least aggressive method that gets the results you want" approach. It's always worked well.
So over the years, it seems I've accumulated quite a bit more products (both polishes/compounds, and pads) so the "next most aggressive" isn't quite as easy to figure out.
The wax/polish chart comes in handy. I've also sorted and labelled my polishes/compounds on a 1-10 scale using both the wax chart and, where the product isn't listed, the marketing blurbs that say what grit marks (i.e. 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000) the product will remove.
Here's my question: when moving to a more aggressive method, do you typically use the same product with a more aggressive pad (i.e. go from white to orange, or orange to yellow) with the same product or do you use the same pad and change product? Or both?
I'm typically dealing with light to medium defects, although I do have some type II water marks I need to work on, and I'm not quite sure how aggressive I'll need to be.
