just to add on to what Midnight said, Griots doesn't make white or black pads, those you will have to get from another line, probably lake country. Do you have any of the Griots red pads? Try using the finest polish with a red pad and you should be golden...

another thing you might want to try is to prime the pad with product, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Tried this with M105 and got almost zero dusting.

I have these but don't think they are safe for use on paint. I use them in the engine bay and carpeting

I use them to clean the grooves on my irons after a round of golf... maybe they can be used on carpets or engine (rust)?

it's b/c they will only last you about 10 washes bfore they start coming apart...

it's a chemical paint cleaner. Doesn't correct anything, despite what it says on the product page...

+1 hopefully they don't lint like the speedshine towels though...

just to add to Flash's advice once the paint is on though, keep IPA or any other solvent away from the touchup paint, lest you soften and mess it up.

dry so the product is not diluted too much

Ksg application is quite easy. Put 1oz in a spray bottle and spritz a foam pad. Scrunch it to distribute then apply so thin you see it evaporating til there is nothing left. Done right there will be very little to wipe off if anything. No need to scrub it in from every angle. You'll just tire...

you also need more pads, at least 2-3 of orange and white. You can get away with 1 or 2 black. I'd stick to 7/8 inch thick 5.5 inch LC flats or the thin hydrotechs myself also agree that those polishes probably aren't enough. Power finish on orange is a great one stepper.

I like this one [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbppD4opsGs&list=PL942A4937DB701BCF&index=13&feature=plpp_video]1970 Mustang Mach 1 - How to polish single stage paint by hand - YouTube[/video]

after one week, I was able to level a couple high spots with poliseal on a foam applicator by hand very quickly...

OC your rims. Best thing I ever did. Just use some car soap or leftover ONR that I pour into my wheel bucket and save for the start of the next wash...

luvs it!
