    Finishing polish for new Audi with very hard paint

    Thank you very much for the reply. I happen to have both the FG400 and the SF4000 on hand so I will pick up some of those pads. Thanks again!

    That looks fantastic. Can you tell me which MF Pad(s) you used?

    Review: 3D ONE Hybrid Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish

    So, I got my 3D ONE and I purchased a Griots Garage 6 Random Orbital Polisher at the same time. I figure I will use the PC 7424 with the 3" backing plate for the tight areas and the GG6 for the majority of the car. The GG6 came with a 6" backing plate, but I bought the 5" backing plate too. My...

    Review: 3D ONE Hybrid Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish

    Wow WRAPT, you have certainly given ONE a thorough test ride. I just purchased a bottle, it has not shipped yet, and am curious to find out some feedback/opinions from the folks that have used ONE about which pads seem to work the best. I would be using it on a new 2018 Audi in Moonlight Blue...

    Yes, they are slow to ship

    I ordered 3 micro fiber towels (waffle weave guzzlers) on Feb 17, it took 2 days to get the tracking number and now it says they will be delivered on March 1. I think 2 weeks is just too long to wait to receive an order. It will be fine for the towels but I would not want expensive liquid...

    Compound/Polish advice

    Thank you Mike, I appreciate the advice. I will definitely try that on my wife's car next. I was using the LC Hydro pads with the FG400 and the LC CCS pads with the SF4000, would you recommend the LC Hybrid pads for the Porter Cable as well? I seem to recall that I read somewhere on here that...

    Compound/Polish advice

    Hi Mike ~ I use a Porter Cable and had it at 6. I was rotating 4 orange LC pads and typically the dusting would primarily occur on the 2nd section with a pad. I typically do two 20" by 20" sections with each pad, change it out and then once I have used all 4 pads I clean them and start over. I...

    Compound/Polish advice

    The FG400 seems a tad dusty to me, could be the Indian and not the arrow, but the SF4000 finishes like a dream. That stuff is amazing. I was using 8 passes with the FG400 and 5 or 6 with the SF4000, the last two passes on each were basically just the weight of the machine. Good luck!

    Best Pads for Menzerna FG400 and WG Swirl Remover

    Thanks Allen! I got the FG400 for working on a different car that needed more correction work. The WGTSR is for the car with light swirls. I am thinking of picking up some 5 1/2" Hydro pads. I will test those versus the 5 1/2 CCS pads that I already have. Thanks for the input Rmd!

    Best Pads for Menzerna FG400 and WG Swirl Remover

    Thank you for the feedback, it is nice when you get the results you were hoping for. Excellent, thank you for referencing to use these with the PC. Thanks Smokin - seems like the more pads the merrier. Another vote for the hydro's - thank you. I am seriously considering these.

    Best Pads for Menzerna FG400 and WG Swirl Remover

    Hello, Thank you in advance for your thoughts. I was wondering if the flat pads are better for Menzerna and Wolfgang products than the CCS Smart Pads? I have read that flat are better with DAT polishes but that both the Menzerna and WG products are not necessarily DAT but are a hybrid DAT/SMAT...

    Please Critique my CART and my Process!

    It may not feel rough if you run your hand across it; after you wash the car put a plastic sandwich baggy over your hand and see if the paint grabs the bag, feels rough. My son's new car felt fine to the naked hand but when I put the baggy on it was a whole different story.

    How to protect brand new car paint and interior?

    My son got a new car in December. For the exterior paint we washed, used Iron X, used clay bar (it was amazing how many contaminants were on the paint), applied Klasse AIO (use this on the windows too) and then 2 applications of Klasse SG. One of the things that I really like about both Klasse...

    What CCS Pad/Speed?

    You are correct you would apply the AIO and then the SG. With Klasse products you can easily apply them both by hand, although you can use the DA with the AIO. I would apply the SG by hand.
