wow thanks Mike!! i will definitely grab one! it's funny you blew up the tip on forgetting everything you know about previous polishers because before i scrolled down and seen that i was skimming the page you posted in the book and laughed to my self about that specific tip haha, you are right...

I had to make a post for a huge thank you to everyone that came on my recent posts giving me helpful tips and help tweak my technique, i was having major pad issues with the mk2 rupes polisher and couldn't figure out why, it turns out i was making it harder than it needed to be. using different...

WOW!! just finished a cut (polishing tomorrow) on a jeep srt8 using the proper technique i now know, and no problems what so ever i am so happy, speed and pressure were the culprit's. i guess coming from a rotary presure was second nature for cutting and i didn't even know it. and slowed the...

awesome thank you i have gotten a lot of awesome feed back on this issue and am very excited to take everything a put it to use, i really appreciate all the help and will continue to try m105/m205 as i have 2 full bottles haha. i also have rupes polishes that are untouched and came with my kit...

I would agree this is my issue then i will keep trying, how often do you change your pads at those speeds? at the moment i switch pads every pass or 2 to keep cool.

Hey thanks for the info, and this is good news for me then as i just received 2 new bottles of 105/205 and don't really want to buy any other polishes atm if i don't have too. as for priming i would cover the surface of the pad with product to start and then 4 pea size amounts of product from...

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the replys everyone i am doing a 2 stage correction today and will try all of the helpful tips, Unfortunately i can't change my polishes as its all i have atm but will have to look into switching i guess. thanks for all the help.

Wow after reading through a few threads and experiencing almost all of the issues i have read about myself, i am starting to wonder if my mark 2 (21 in my case) was the right choice. With all of the controversy between right and wrong techniques and who's using what with the polisher it was...

i just purchased the lake country hd pads actually (haven't gotten them yet) but if I'm not mistaken i read somewhere that the interface has changed

Wow ill have to check that if thats true it would make so much sense :mad: Thank you!! would really suck tho i love m105 and m205

Im not to sure thats what I'm wondering, i do have to work fast as i do this to make money, but i clean the pad every pass, and even with air by the time I'm half way through the car there would be quite a bit of product deep into the pad (only removed by washing at this point) and that is using...

No i am using M105 and M205 would it make that significant of a difference tho?

i will try the boss pads swell then! but to be completely honest the Megs MF discs have been the least of my worries!! it sucks because I started to like the green and yellow pads. i think i just need to use more on a car though. Im not giving up on them yet!! haha

awesome i will try that as well, i will be taking 6 pads (of each colour) with me for the next job and lowering my speed. I still don't see how people are able to do an entire panel with one pad, i have to rotate every pass or 2 (not that the pad is super hot at this point but to keep them as...
