    Well for last weekend's Griot's class we used all of the BOSS compounds and polishes.

    For the 3D class 2 weeks before the Griot's class we used all 3D products.

    For the New Jersey class 2 weeks before the 3D class we used TONS of brands.



    So the answer is - it depends on the venue AND I only use and teach products that use great abrasive technology. That IS the most important factor when it comes to polishing paint.

    On the topic of DAs - I only have a meguiars mt300, which has never really failed at removing anything for me. Just a standard 8mm throw, nothing special.

    I’ve compounded out some pretty tough paints, the hardest being a VW Jetta for my friend before she sold it. A microfiber pad paired with some D300 did wonders and probably got her about 85-90% of the way there. I imagine that a 21mm throw machine would absolutely obliterate the defects, which makes me really want to have one (but I don’t need one, lol.)

    I’ve also had really good success with Fast Correcting Cream, Ultimate Compound, and Pinnacle Advanced Compound with microfiber pads.

    I’d love to see before and after pictures of your truck after you go over it with your rotary.

    It is a compound, but it finishes really, really well. In fact, I never feel a need to follow up with a polish. When you do, you can get more gloss but D300's finish is really glossy and I really doubt any client would complain about the look of the paint after using D300 alone.

    It's designed to work with microfiber pads, but I use it with foam all the time. Maybe some other compound would do a better job on foam, but D300 works well enough.

    Re: Fell for the sales pitch - Griots Garage Orbital

    i have 3 GG6 machines now and i use them basically daily. without reading through all these old post but i know someone said that knowldge or machine and product come into play and i feel that it does. while it might not cut AS FAST it will cut. i have not in all my years in detailing come across a job that i could not complete do to lack of machine power. i have an array or pads and products to ensure i have everything at my disposale to hand everything to include sanding marks. now if things are to far gone they are to far gone and DA or rotary its not gonna work. sorry i was just called off to look at something and lost my train of thought so hopefully that makes sense.
