Thanks, Paul.

Yup. And it can be MIRACULOUS.

Lots of high-end guys using this procedure, as well as several that are not so experienced.

I am still the biggest fan of a large stroke random orbital polisher.

I've never used the LHR21ES and thought, "Drat! She's-a-stalling too much on the curves & bulges!"

• The design of the pad...

Without the reasoning behind a recommendation... you'll have to take their word for it.
I've laid out my reasoning, and am always up for a good discussion.


I will continue to use the largest...

Thanks!! :thankyousign:

Two short & grubby videos I shot that attempt to explain:

1. How backing plate rotation is actually generated:

2....

None that come to mind.



The only reason I could reasonably envision needing that much orbital speed would be if I was attempting to create more random rotation of the backing plate.

That's kind and funny, all in one!

I wouldn't recommend that any single post is ignored, but this is a topic that I deal with almost every day via phone or text or e-mail. When a guy is having a...

I didn't read the whole thread, so I take it that the general consensus is that you MUST use a rotary to "jewel" (or as I read above on this page, "burnish") the paint to get a stellar result?

Intriguing thread, the part about saturation at the center of the pad. Some thoughts (on the fly, so they may not lead to the correct conclusion).

At the dead-center of the pad, what is occurring...

Thanks for tagging me on FB Detailer Buddies so I could see this.

In terms of the "KBM M205"... was it cut using a mass quantity of M205 via microfiber? Did you follow up...

Apparently... you weren't the one that mentioned it!

I must have missed a pretty important testing session.

How was it concluded that the LHR15ES is less prone to having its backing plate stall under load (pressure, friction, panel curvature, etc.)...

Question:
"At the risk of starting a debate, would a more powerful motor be beneficial?"

"Yeah, this could start a big debate!

I think you'll find that most guys complaining...

"Let's see if I can remember how to do this. Ahem!..."

Several guys asked if I would chime in on this thread. Okay, I’ll do it!

Many of the discussions pertaining to the latest detailing...

We were just starting to get into a good discussion on another thread (which was closed!) about compounds and their working times, meaning, how long you can use a single application of the compound...

No sweat, not lookng for trouble... :bat:

Just interested to talk about things like this. Sometimes a simple statement can lead into a really great discussion!

There's so many ways to extend...

"Working time."

What are you referring to? Do you want more "work" time? Less "work" time?

To what end?

Meaning, what do you hope to achieve by getting longer or shorter working time? ...

I often use the Meguiar's DA Microfiber Finishing Discs for cutting with M101, M105, and D300.

Sometimes the taller and more pliable foam allows the disc to glide along more smoothly.

That's...

Good advice so far. :xyxthumbs: An older thread that may be helpful to you: D151

The size of an air sander... powered by electricity!

A guy wanting or needing to polish with one hand will appreciate the palm throttle lever, and the machine weighs 2 pounds.

Still testing...

Good points, Bob. I kinda wondered if I'd be called to the mat on this recommendation.

As C. Charles Hahn and CEE DOG mentioned in prior posts, there was a nice little thread about a similar subject on live 2 detail. In that, I wrote:
