    She’s gonna need a little attention. Planning on doing a panel or two at a time over the next “however long it takes.”

    Doesn’t have to be pretty, she’s mechanically sound.

    Practice vehicle....

    So, I’m just getting into this detailing stuff, but I’ve got the perfect “can’t hurt it” trainer vehicle.

    Re: Pad number ratio?

    It's in decent shape, I just wanted to bring it back a little bit. I had no idea it'd take 20ish pads to do a boat. Not doubting, just learning.

    Pad number ratio?

    Ok, so I'm trying to get geared up..

    I cheaped, but we'll see how it goes on the DA - I got the HF unit. I picked up a Chemical Guy's 5" pad and I've got some product for my boat on the way....

    Any suggestions on what you’d use as a pad with this stuff?

    I just picked some up based on a recommendation for what my boat should need, but I’m lost on a pad.

    I’ll be using a HF DA with a CG...

    Re: Cutting with HF DA?

    I don't know much, but those might work well.



    I appreciate you not giving me the axe just yet.. I actually reread my post, after I made it and hoped it didn't sound like an advertisement. I...

    Re: Polishing single stage with a DA?

    Mike-

    Yes, that is my bird. Considering changing to something a little different, so it may be for sale soon. I need to wash it up when it gets a little warmer and since I'm considering a rotary...

    Cutting with HF DA?

    Man, that thing shines!

    My gel coat isn’t that bad really, it’s still got reflection ability, it’s just not been cleaned and polished like it should and I’d like to bring it back to life.

    Does...

    Cutting with HF DA?

    So, I haven't purchased as DA for detailing yet, but I'm pretty convinced I'd like to try the Harbor Freight unit. If it dies/is garbage, I'll chock it up to a life lesson and grab the Porter Cable...

    I've got a vehicle I'm thinking about selling and I'd like to give it a good cleanup and polish before I take try to sell it.

    "Beginner" - What are the essentials?

    Ok guys-

    I've always kept my cars clean and washed, but I guess never at the level I'm seeing here.. I'd go to AutoZ and grab some stuff, go home and wash my car, not really being too concerned...

    I think I'll start with a "swirl" reduction kit and maybe something with some more cut to clean up my integra.
