I've been lurking around these forums these past few weeks to help make a more informed decision on which DA polisher to get, and I figured since that I should finally say something now that my polisher has arrived. Sometime later today the 5" Lake Country back plate along with a few assorted LC buffing pads will arrive and I can put this thing to work
I really hope UPS is on time because in all my excitement, yesterday afternoon I washed my 2010 Audi A4 and went to work on it with detailing clay. The past 6 months I have had to park the car on the street due to a few big projects, one of which included installing drywall, all new lighting, and some new electrical circuits in my garage. And to be honest... seeing my car so dirty all the time and knowing that if I clean it, i had no place to keep it that way.... so she has been neglected. I actually had to use up two of those small Mothers clay bars to get the paint like glass. Unfortunately there is some water spotting and some very fine scratches, probably from people brushing up against such a dirty car.
I'll take some better photos later today once I finish detailing it today. I'm starting off the job running a 5.5" tangerine LC buffer pad with some Meguiars Solo Cut and Polish #86. I have a feeling anything less abrasive wont do the job.
