Does that car have single stage paint or clear coat?

+1 for D151 & MF Pads! :buffing:

D151 with MF cutting disc... goes a long way :)

Hi,

Located in Israel, we are provided with "quality" North Africa desert dust that creates layers of RIDS under the swirls.

So, I'm looking for the best cutting pad that LC has to offer.

So...

We had to go over each section 2~3 times
After the first pass, all the swirls were gone
After the second time most for the rids were gone
only at the third time we managed to clear over 90% of...

We got to over 90%

Washed & Clayed

Flex 3401/PE14-2-150
Menzerna FG400 / LC Hybrid foam pad
Menzerna SF4000 / Hydro-tech polish pad

Hi Mike,

these days i'm using DAS6 PRO(850W) (a DA that is very similar to G220/GG6) and what to buy a stronger DA.
Before i do so, i would like to know what you think about the BO6040 VS....

As i don't have a device to measure to thickness of the coating i would leave it at that.
It's a daily driver, so no need for more,
The owner is already very happy with the resualt
And after so...

i'm not a pro detailer and do it just as an hobby,

I did more than a few card but never a Mercedes with their Ceramic coat.

this car was washed in the "swirl machines" - automatic car washes......

Does Griot's have these in a 220V version with EU Plug?

D151 on MF pad is a nice way to go over a car fast.

as to which has more cut? if i have some time maybe next week i can try and answer as i have both.

Nice Job!
Subaru soft paint makes it easy to get great result even with AIO.

- M105 - Microfiber pad (Cutting)
- UNO HD - Uno Cutting pad
- Menzerna PF2500 - LC Hydro polishing pad/Meguiar's MF finishing pad

Hi Mike & Everyone,

Couple of questions about Blacklight:
1. Does it have any (even light) cutting ability?
2. What would be the best product from the below list to top off Blacklight:
-...

LC Foamed wool pad is great on the 3401
Foamed Wool 6.5 x 1 Thick Polishing / Buffing Pad

Actually, i was hoping to use the APC 1:5 to "soften" the cement...
or is too strong for the paint? or will have no effect on the cement

Hi,
A friends car got a nice splash of cement
he took it to a car wash.. but as you can imagine there are a lot of spots.

Question: what is you best recommended method of removing cement stains?...

Lake country pads are great and cover all my detailing needs

i like the durability and result that they provide.

I Mostly use the CCS series and also the foamed wool pad which is great for fast...

i like PG on a rotary, not so much on a DA, unless it's a flex.
i also found it to dry out faster than others, but as others said, it does cut very well.

don't use it on soft paints, keep it for...

I Think Flex should take the comments here and improve their product.

It's clear that there is a heating issue that causes backing plates to melt down.

As much as i want to get one... i will...

maybe flex is the best DA on the market,
but this melting issue is well known issue,
All my friends that have Flex are suffering from this issue.

This car has never been polished/waxed.
Full with heavy swirls + many RIDS.

- Washed
- Clay (Pinnacle)
- M105 / LC Yellow (one side)
- Menzerna Power gloss (one side)
- Meg's D300 / MF...

#3 suppose the least agressive

Either go with LC Yellow pad (which is very aggressive)
Or as mentioned - MF cutting pad

if it's just one little RIDS, my suggestion is let it stay, so you can keep you clear coat thicker..
