So, I haven't purchased as DA for detailing yet, but I'm pretty convinced I'd like to try the Harbor Freight unit. If it dies/is garbage, I'll chock it up to a life lesson and grab the Porter Cable 7424.
One of the first things I'd like to tackle when I pick it up, is bringing some oxidized gelcoat back to life. The gelcoat on my boat actually isn't that bad, but it could be a better.
The product I'll be using, Smoove Pro-Cut 1000, : Smoove Pro-Cut 1000 Professional Polishing Compound Quart : Sports & Outdoors[/url]) recommends a "white wool pad" to cut with.
So, I'm looking at picking up the following:
Lake Country 6" backer plate (Dual-Action Hook &Loop Flexible Backing Plate 6="=)
6.5" Wool pads (6.5 inch Marine 31 4 Ply 100% Twisted Wool Compounding Pad (3 Pack))
Will this be sufficient?
I'd also like to pick up some other basic pads for automotive detailing, but I haven't 100% tackled that decision yet as to what a basic setup might run me..
Anyone?
