Thanks so much! I bought some of the Thin Pro Orange in 5” and one gray in 3”. I like the gray ok but using the bigger ones the machine seems to wobble. It doesn’t seem as smooth as the normal...
Thanks for the input Mike! I bought the Griots 5” vented backing plate and all my pads are 5”. I did use more product initially but then back off some. Still don’t think I was using nickel sized...
I don’t like a ton of pressure either. All of these vehicles, especially my Jeep, have very thin panels. The guy that replaced some vinyl on my Jeep leaned on the hood and dented it all up. He had...
I'm seeing something similar on my white vehicles. It seems to come from condensation at night and then what looks like dirt sticking to those spots. My Jeep had it all over the top and it was hard...
The orange pad and Total Swirl Remover didn’t even put a dent in it, so would the forced rotation give enough cut to polish? If so and I use more pressure would that not heat the pad way up?
I did do a test spot on the trunk and did 3 passes. There’s a scratch there and it didn’t do anything. It removed some very very light swirls that’s it. So I went longer and still nothing. So I...
Same here. I’m an amateur just starting out but, dang, I did one section twice with at least 8 passes and didn’t even phase it. Let me know how the flex and the wool pad works out
My wife has a C300...It's a 2015 I believe...paint code 755. I washed, then clayed it. The paint is in great shape other than some small scratches on it from being a daily driver, as well as a few...
I felt like I was using too much but priming took up a good bit. Then say in the hood, I might have divided each side into 2-3 sections. I can’t remember for sure, but each section I’d apply a few...
Thanks for the info. I have just the regular DA polisher. I’ll check the pads but I’ll probably just throw them out. This was my first time polishing so I don’t wanna take any chances.
I bet this was my problem. I have a 3” microfiber pad and it cut better. I kept feeling like I wasn’t cutting enough and my product was drying some. I tried to take care to stop when it started to...
Maybe I put too much pressure then. I didn’t think I used too much product but maybe I did that too. The others didn’t do that so I’m trying to figure out what variable changed.
Yeah it’s my first time. I may have. I primed it and then put dots on the edge. I did 1/4 of the hood then added some more on the other 1/4 so maybe I did use too much
I have two Buff and Shine pads that after one use, are depressed/indented in the center in a large spot. There’s two Lake Country pads in the back of this pic and they’re fine, as well as one other...
