    diamond plate polishing?

    Hi guys quick qustion for you. I have diamond plate along the front of my detailing trailer along with diamond plate fenders. I use to use a cheap 6inch orbiter polisher from autozone with microfiber bonnets and flitz and about 8 hours polishing them up. Now i just got a pcxp with the XL pads (wish i would have got the 5.5 pads but thats besides the point. it came with a wool pad i was just wondering if i could use my pc and the wool pad with flitz to polish the aluminum. granted i only have the one pad. but if it will work what speed do u use for the pc and so on thanks for the advice guuys

    Ooops, missed this one. I use 105 and either wool or an orange pad I no longer care for

    Glad you were able to resolve this issue

    i never thought of using 105 with and orange pad on diamond plate. is that all you use or do you come back with a sealant?

    I never saw this.....sorry. I have been using the pad that came with the PCXP for diamond plate with OPT metal polish with some great results. It's the only use I found for that pad so far.
