    Re: Black C6 paint, nothing is working! (Makita 9227c)

    Try the LC crimson and M205 on the Flex 3401(speed 5). Just a few passes. Do not use MF to finish, especially with the Flex 3401.

    Yep what Mark said, MF to cut and polish, foam to finish.

    Yup the MF pads don't finish well. I usually finish with the white lc pad

    I got a few panels into the detail when I realized what I was doing was not working...so I stopped at that point and started playing with different combos. I ended up sticking with the FLEX and doing M100 and optimum microfiber cutting pad, and finished with M205 and tangerine LC hydro...this is pleasing me just fine now

    !

    With the Flex...

    What MF pads were you using?

    What speed were you finishing with?

    Did you try using a finish FOAM pad?

    Yea, I found that 205 and an LC hydro tangerine finished the best overall. Thanks for the help folks!
