before I start.
Hello,
Posted before about diving into buffing my new black '19 GS. I can use a few tips on getting the best results. Background, she only has 260 mi. on her. It sat on the lot for a few mos. before I bought it in Dec. as my retirement present. She has a few swirls that can be seen inside my garage under the florescent lighting ( and flashlight shining on it ) I purchased the Boss G 21 here. It was recommended that I use Blackfire one step by a geek squad salesperson.
How should I approach this, start with the least aggressive pad and do a test area. What pad and process do you recommend.
Thank you!!
Rich

Test spot with least aggressive pad you have and the BF one step.

Inspect your work. If it is satisfactory, move on with the project. If not, step up to the next pad you have that has a little more bite.

Start with the yellow then go to black or just do the black and inspect ?
Sorry to be a PIA about this !

No PIA!

Do you have the GG pad system for your G21?

I purchased 2 orange, 2 yellow and 1 black and the inner flex 6" pad. I probably will purchase more before I start. What is the GG pad system of which you speak ? I have the pad cleaning brush and the pad cleaning products.
Thank you!

Griot's pads. They go from (most cut first): MF pad, White, Orange, Yellow, Black.

What pads did you order, Rich?

[Vette Ski]

Yes,
I have the griots pads 2 orange, 2 yellow and 1 black and the inner flex I did not get the microfiber pad
Thanks Rich

Ok, cool.

Well the black pad is a soft finishing pad. If you would like to start with it, it would just be the BF one step doing the cutting as the black one has just about zero cut.

And hey, maybe that would be all you need. Worth a try.

If not, step up to your yellow ones.

And lastly, have fun in the process Rich! You bought a killer machine, and great pads and product.

[Vette Ski]

No, no ! you tell me what is best. I will go from that. I am sure it is hard to do because you can't see the car. But I will probably go with the white pad first. I should use the inner flex pad, correct.
Thanks again,
Rich

The rule is this: LEAST aggressive pad/product to start.

The BF one step is not very aggressive as it is an All In One (read cleaner wax). But a great product that Mike P himself has been touting. If Mike likes it, it works.

Me? I would start with your Yellow pads as the first step using the BF.
