    Thanks, Mike.

    I am using 5.5". But I just bought another batch of BOSS pads, which almost everyone recommends for G9. They are just 5/8" thick. I am afraid this s gonna make my work even harder.

  2. Re: Frustrated. Tons of swirl marks even after wet sanding, 105 and 205 with DA.

    Haha that would be an option. I just feel the local detailer around me thinks and cares not even as much as I do. Let alone the professional in this forum.

    Thanks so much Mike. This is a lot to take in.



    Yeah. I am aware of it. < 3mils, thinner than a hair... A few panels of this car have been repainted so I figured they might be thicker. The...

    Any strong cutting foam pad i can try

    Yeah I was constantly monitoring the movement. Only when I intentionally tilted it to use the edge to buff did it stop.

    The panel was just repainted but that was clearly a poor job ( They probably...
  8. Frustrated. Tons of swirl marks even after wet sanding, 105 and 205 with DA.

    I just don't understand how this would not work out.

    Initially I wanted to remove the orange peel on my door so I decided a wet sanding but realized I only have 3000 grit. I did sand the whole...
  9. Re: Suggestions of tools polishing Narrow area (pillars, trims, bumpers...)

    Your results are fabulous. I see how it works out with big machines and big pads. But I am more concerned with just the narrow single trim of say, a pillar, of the upper window trim where it at most...

    That' a nice cordelss machine. This could be my next investment.
  11. Suggestions of tools polishing Narrow area (pillars, trims, bumpers...)

    Hi, this has been annoyed me a little. I am not a professional and I am only doing my own car so I probably wouldn't spend too much for a dedicated RUPES nano ibrid.

    I've seen several ways to do...
