Hey
I'm new to the forum here and I'm still learning a lot about detailing. I do detailing for my work, a used car lot, and on the side just recently. I have a 7424xp, and most of my detailing supplies I get from a local detailing supply company, the same ones we use at work.
1. I made the mistake of ordering the 6 inch kit :mad:, every post I read people say to use the 5 inch backing plate with the 5.5 inch pads especially for corrections. I would prefer not to have to buy another bp and smaller pad but I want quality results what should I do?
2. I know its important to use the least aggressive compound for the job, based on these pictures would this warrant ordering xmt #3 (edit: I know it shouldn't need #4) ; I already have xmt#2, and I know its going to need something more aggressive and I would be following it up with my "one step polish/wax" I get from my local supply.
Thanks in advanced
Matt
