Hi all,

I have been lurking here for a while soaking up all the knowledge the forums have to offer. Just want to say hello and thanks for all the great Info.

I just a bought a new to me 2013 Ram, black, and the truck looks beautiful. I think the paint was corrected before i bought it. There are very few imperfections that i can see. Being a daily driver, I wish it could stay clean for more than a day. Have to love the Chicago weather, NOT. I have just set the wallet on fire buying products to help in my detailing endeavors. I also plan to do some major work on my sons Black S-10. Unlike my truck, his is nothing but swirls.

From the research I have done, I am in the minority on AGO as I will be using a Festool RO 150 FEQ for my machine. I already own this machine for my woodworking and love it. I will be using it for all my autos (5 total in the arsenal) for now. If I can't get the results I am looking for I will just have to bite the bullet and get the PC.

Again, Thanks for all the great knowledge you put out on AGO for all us newbies to gobble up.

That Festool looks interesting. The only drawback I see is that it's a 6" backing plate. I assume not interchangeable.

I believe you are correct. Only one backing plate for polishing. I'm not sure if the smaller RO's backing plates would fit. I'll have to investigate that. :props:

Nope. I'm stuck with the 6". Maybe I'll buy a HF polisher for smaller pads. Time will tell.
 
You can do a lot with 6" pads. That's all I used for years, but I was only detailing my own car and it had mostly flat surfaces and smooth curves.
