rick100 - I was definitely going to try the GG Fast Correcting with orange foam pads first before moving to the MF pads, for exactly the reason you say.
rick100 - that's fair. I am a neophyte so I am on my first try of everything. I am torn between the LC Microfiber and the Uro (LC a little cheaper). I was thinking of ordering a few of each to try...
rick100 - That's great advice and in line with others for sure. The next car up is a BMW so I will take to heart going down to MF and a heavier compound and testing it on the Volvo.
Absolutely helps. It is my daily driver. In addition to the pictures I sent, I am looking at the paint and still seeing a lot of "pattern" for lack of a better word. I feel like it is worth trying...
Speed 5 on the GG9. I can live with them (heck, lived with worse for the last 8 years). Just want to make sure there isn't something in my newbie knowledge gap I should be considering.
Thank you both. Sounds like I should start with orange, then go to yellow and then MF? I don't own yellow or MF yet, so I am not sure if I should buy both or go with one over the other.
I made the plunge with my first big purchase and started on my first car today. I wanted to share a few first impressions and also ask for some feedback to guide me as I keep going. Feel free to skip...
@Don M - thank you for that. A well reasoned reply. One question - when you say "microfiber applicator pad and actually working it into the paint" you mean by hand, not by DA, correct?
Thank you both. Looking forward to when that experience comes. I have two paint jobs that are fairly new and I am hoping take to the polish stage, and two others a bit older although lovingly...
Thank you. I am leaning toward the GG 3 in 1 as my first LSP out of the gate. The sense I have reading all these posts is people have many go-to products in their arsenal, like to try new products,...
Many people have said start the least aggressive when paint correcting, do a test panel and work your way up if necessary. If you do need to go up in aggressiveness, is there a rule of thumb on...
Agreed. I definitely wouldn't use an orbital with a spray n wipe product. My question centered more around which method people prefer. It sounds like you might lean towards products that cure and...
I am guessing the answer is "it depends," however, I will ask anyway. Are there any prevailing schools of thought on using a spray n wipe product after polishing versus one put on by a DA? For...
And Mike - sealing!! Ohmygosh, a whole new world. A poster gave me some of his tips above. I still have no idea which direction to go. Wax, spray solution, ceramic coating, ceramic/wax spray. Seems...
Mike - that is good to hear. I would like to think the two newer Lotus paint jobs would benefit from a polish only (after doing a test to confirm) to avoid what I hear about in terms of removing...
Regarding this bit of info: "I dont do much heavy compounding these days. The goal is to do the least aggressive approach to get the job done. The trend in clear coat preservation is to sort out the...
I am in the same boat as you! I introduced myself yesterday, have been studying and reading, and I am on major overload as well. Every time I feel like I am narrowing in on a course of action, some...
