Also, is there a clear choice as to MF vs foam polishing pads with this product?

That didn't directly answer my question, but it was very good information. Thanks!

I've seen quite a few charts showing the various levels of cut from foam pads, I'm wondering if there is a clear point where microfiber pads would fit for comparison purposes. I primarily use LC hybrid pads and OPT MF pads Would a OPT polishing pad be roughly equal to the white hybrid pad in...

First, how does this stuff compare to McKee's 37 360? Does one have a significant advantage in correction ability? Is CGW at all similar to Meguiars D151?

I went with 5" pads, hopefully they will rotate really well compared to 6" ones, never really had much of a problem with that though.

That was the original question I guess. What I was leaning towards was an OPT MF polishing pad, hyper polish, and a long throw DA

Menzerna Super Heavy Cut 300 is what I meant

I'd prefer to stay away from Meguiars stuff if practical. Many reasons, nothing worth bringing up here. I thought FG400 was above or at least equal to 105 in terms of cut. Perhaps I'll see if they can change the order to SHC-300 compound

They call it "Brilliant Silver". I was planning on using Micro Surface tufbuff black wool pads, and I just ordered some FG400.

Paint code is 744. I think this may be before true Ceramiclear, but if I remember right the paint might be advertised as scratch resistant. I'll look at that post, Thanks.

Hi I'm working on my 2001 Mercedes E55 and it's got absolutely diamond hard paint. I'm having a hard time making ANY effect on the paint. I'm working with OPT Hyper compound and polish. I think I have what I need to try again with the leveling process (wool+rotary+compound) What should I do...

That's perfect, thank you! Pictures are very helpful to me. :dblthumb2:

So it would seem to me that the rotation of the spindle in indeed locked in place. I was thinking it was sort of like the earth and sun, the earth rotates around its own axis and obits around the sun. I guess it's sort of like if the earth was locked in place facing one direction and it orbits...

I was wondering, does the flex VRG have 2 axes of rotation? That is, does the spindle rotate and orbit around? Or is the pad locked in place and it only orbits around the center point? I ask because I just bought a dynabrade for my rotary. It seems very well made, I guess I was sort of...

I can't get the other pics to upload :( That's oxidation, but otherwise freshly washed.
