Yeah, I did a search on here and unearthed a Mike Phillips thread on slipping the bonnet over a pad and you can definitely use a DA. I'm just wondering how many people do it.

Amateur detailer here. I have always used my trust Porter (bought here) to polish my vehicles and to apply LSP.

However, I always remove my LSP by hand.

I would like to switch to a machine...

You'll be fine. Mike P is right. I would suggest:

1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean, Polish and Seal in one step with an AIO. I use HD Speed.
4. Buy a Porter DA, about a half-dozen LC orange pads for...

One of the above posters is right. Whatever pad you use, that is your pad from here on out. I can't get WDGS totally out of my red pad, which is what I use.

May get flamed here, but here it goes:

I used simple soap and water - whatever you are washing your car with. And you have to use a brush, etc., and put some elbow grease into it.

I do it...

I used p21S and was blown away by the result on a bright red Mustang. That being said, it's really not that conducive to being applied by machine (you have to remove the block of wax and rub it on...

Moderator, plz remove this thread. I'll work it out with AG on Monday. No worries.

Very good point.

I used a thin 5.5 LC Red. There was some rotation at 4 but not a lot. It had no problem at 5.

Will do. It's all good. Got a coat of Wolfgang DGS on my son's Honda this afternoon. Not really thrilled with the Porter on 4. Barely rotated and I was barely touching it. Even tried Mike P's...

Also, I would have called instead of posting but its 9:30 p.m. on Sunday nite.

Got the $25 Savings Note with my last Auto Geek order. Good through July 31st, it says. Also says "use it on sale items, custom items, polishers - it's your money."

Only caveat is that I have to...

HD Speed but I also had some Klasse that a friend had given me. Again, I'm new at this, but the quality of the AIO is really gonna depend on the pad and the operator.

Now that I have an idea of...

Man, I made a lot of mistakes getting to this point. But Mike's videos really helped out.

I started out with a badly swirled Torch Red Mustang - a color that shows everything. I bought compound...

Never even thought of that. I should use the slowest speed possible that gets the LSP on the vehicle.

And the Porter's 5 or 6 is definitely high enough to get the polishing done.

I swear, I...

Use a lot. Don't make the mistake I did and try and get by with three. Use a half-dozen at a minimum. If you don't have a half-dozen, wait until you do. And cleaning on the fly and scrubbing the pad...

Was doing some polishing this weekend when I accidentally set the Porter to 4. Imagine my surprise when I got almost no rotation at all when the pad was placed on the car surface.

Is a problem...

I have some extremely soiled leather seats (I work in construction) that I need to clean.

I have been doing a lot of research here on AutoGeek and it seems the best plan of attack is to hit them...

I use same pads for different products. I use Wolfgang's pad rejuvenator and was amazed how well it works on LC Orange this weekend. When I finished with a pad, I would give it a couple of squirts of...

Easier solution: After you do whatever you do and apply the Wolfgang, just use the Pinnacle carnuba SPRAY wax as a topper. Don't use a full-blown wax. Then, after each wash, apply the spray wax. Your...

I have normally kept these on the shelf of my Florida garage, which can easily exceed 100 degrees in summer with door closed.

What's the thinking on storing this stuff in your garage? I know all...

So what did we decide for my using Speed on my 2014 Torch Red Mustang? BS Uro-Fiber or Lake Country Orange?

I need some cut but not a lot and I'm thinking a half-dozen of whatever (it's a Vert). ...

Good advice. I will save the Quick Detailer for the clay.

I am a former Zaino user. Zaino strongly suggests wiping down car after each coat of whatever with a quick detailer before installing next layer. It did a good job of cleaning off excess whatever and...

Will be using it on a 2014 Torch Red mustang. Swirls are kinda bad but not horrible. Probably got most out with Megs Compound on Orange pad week or so ago.

My question is how to use the product....
