    Jeweling with flex. What speed/pad?

    Hi guys!
    My truck has been polished with 105/205 and is looking really good. No swirls... Only a few RIDS.
    I currently have Wolfgang DGPS topped with 845 on it.

    I would like to spend some time trying to really jewel the finish. I plan to use Wolfgang final finish glaze 3.0 and my Flex.

    Question is what speed should I use and what pad? I have red or white finishing pads.

    Thanks!
    Donald

    Try doing a small section with the red pad, but it may be a waste of time. Using a rotary with a black/blue pad and 85rd might make a small difference.

    So you don't think that the WG Finishing Glaze will improve over what was left behind after the 205?

    Thanks

    Use the red pad, speed 5.5 to 6, and work like a normal polish including reducing the pressure slightly on the final passes. The actual results depends on your paint.

    i dont think you can jewel with with the flex as its dual action.. you can jewel easier with a rotary and the lightest pad you have

    With forced rotation. You can jewel fine with the flex.

    Ok thanks.
    My truck is a black dodge ram. 2008.
    The black has lots of metallic under it. I think I can give it more pop.

    Thanks!
