I thought I would update this thread. I picked up some Wolfgang Uber Compound and thought I would try this in place of the Megs 105. What a difference this made. Using my Flex 3401, orange hybrid pad and the Uber, I was able to cut thru the swirls in a fraction of the time as before. The...

Just buffed out the top of a kitchenaid front load washer for a neurotic mother-in-law. It was a single stage paint. I did a test area first and used Megs 105 with an orange pad and then Megs 205 with a white pad (hybrid pads). It did a great job and made her happy. I think I did 4 passes...

nice job!

It is my understanding that the hydro cyan and the orange hybrid are about the same. Both are for heavy cutting. I think they do that to keep us on our toes!

I have both the hybrid and the hydro pads. Like others have said, I prefer the hybrid pads.

What if you put a wax over the Klasse SG? Can you use any type of QD with good results?

I did try the cyan hydro pad, but felt like the orange cut better. I'll give it another shot. I can't complain about the finished results... just the time! LOL

On day two, I tried some of my hydro pads, though I think the orange hybrid pad cut slightly better. I did increase the down pressure and that seemed to work well though still took forever. Thus two days ( 12 hours) I got through the hood, a front fender and half of a door. The paint was...

I used a pad conditioner and then put three dime size dots of 105 on the pad. I would add more 105 each time that I moved to a different section. Each section was about 18"x18". My flex was set to speed 4 to 5, probably closer to 4 and I was placing quite abit of down force pressure. I have...

I'm pretty new to detailing and have been working with a black VW Passat this summer with satisfactory results. We just picked up a 2008 Volvo with black paint. The paint is full of swirls and stains, thus today I pulled out my Flex 3401 and a 5" orange hybrid Lake County pad and started on a...

Don, I'm new to detailing, though I'm not new to working with leather products. Leather, being a natural product, will take on it's own character when cleaned or stained. Saddle Soap will even darken naturally finished leather. The darkness that you see will fade over time due to the leather...
