I've done a ton of researching and reading on this site over the last month. I'm now at a place where I'm ready to purchase polishes. I'm a system guy that tends to be brand loyal. Also, I tend to get a little confused when people are talking about all the various combos of polishes and pads. I'd like to make it dummy proof since I'll only be doing 2 cars maybe once or twice a year. My vehicles are an '02 F150 (green) with mild scratches and beginnings of clear coat failure and a '10 Altima. I'm using a Griot's 6" Random Orbital (VIP Baby!!!)
1. What systems/brands (polishes & pads) do you recommend for amateur hobbyists? Money isn't really a problem, I just expect the quality to match the price premium. I used a rotary for about 3 years at a car wash, but that was 10 years ago. I'm a little rusty.
2. What's the deal with Griot's Machine Polishes? I don't see much talk about it on here, and it seems the most dummy-proof (one size orange pads and numbered polishes). I'm guessing it doesn't perform like brands such as Menz, Megs, etc...
I'm sure you've been asked this a thousand times. Thanks for your patience - I tried to search as much as possible before posting.
