    Re: Essence

    Yes, I used the MF cutting pad to help remove the existing 22PLE coating that was 1.5 years old. I was using a Flex 3401 at speeds between 4 and 6. I use an air compressor to blow out the old...

    Re: Speed Yellow Turbo

    I looked at the car much closer last evening and your right the orange pad caused quite a bit hazing on many areas of the car - good call. I'll need to strip the wax and sealant and I'll use some...
