Hi all,
I am new to machine polishing and trying to get my head around knowing how much paint I have to play with before I move into a risk category of causing damage to the paint.
Here are my questions:
1. Everytime I use a DA/Forced Rotation machine am I effectively taking off paint?
2. Do I need a Paint Depth/Thickness Gauge?
3. If I use a Black Lake Country CCS finishing pad as a 1 step polish but cannot see any improvement, am I ok to then go to a Orange Lake Country CCS and then back to the Black Lake Country CCS pad or is that too much overkill?
I would like to get an understanding of what the machine is actually doing and how to ensure I do not put myself a risk of going too far to cause paint damage.
After a bit of research prior it does seem that causing any damage using a DA/Flex is very unlikely.
Any advice and recommendations would be fantastic!
