Thanks guys.
Unfortunately switching down is not possible now, I JUST bought 6 pads for this prep, it has to work for now, no more money to go into it :/
I'm an IT guy so I can have a poke round inside, no worries.
Appreciate the advice, just wondering if maybe it was something stupid I did...
This stinks. I bought it two years ago, got really ill and used it once. Finally recovered, out there trying to work on my car..it's shocked me twice. the first one made me say...hey! The second one made me say ah..man.
Also what level of vibration is normal when using speed 6? How hot should...
Hi all. I'm pretty new to detailing (seriously) and I'm butting my head against the wall here. We have two more days of ok weather before it gets scorching so I'm trying to finish the car for summer.
I have a new car with the dealer installed swirl marks. They are mild and mostly on the hood...
Sounds to me like I should be getting 2 red and 2 white and 2 grey for now, since I don't have a ton of correction..
Then use the white for Klasse AIO
grey for Klasse sealant
Red for wax application.
I guess I'll place my order, it would be really nice if it was here before the weekend...
Sorry to occupy space here with such basic questions. Upon reflection it seems like we could probably get from 6 pads to three..maybe manufacturers just found a way to make more money. There's so much overlap it makes me think yellow white red are the way to go. The in betweens may be for...
Sorry one more clarification...
Orange pad for 3m
White for aio
Grey for sealant glaze
Red for wax
Don't remove anything with the machine, remove all products by hand (well break down the 3m then remove)
Are those the right pad choices? Since there's overlap, I'm not sure when to use white...
Thanks, I thought they basically fit all five gallon buckets. I'll make sure to do some searching.
@rob t, appreciate it! I think any claying I have to do right now is so minor that most will work.
But if the mitt scratches.. that's a no go. I mean, for $9 wasted (if I can't return it), i'd rather not use it.
I'll do my own cd test tomorrow with the various things I have.
The thing is, right now, I don't need more cutting pads. I have no doubt I will at some point and I can get more then, but we're already at $150, which is beyond what I had budgeted. So I'm trying to do what I can for this treatment, and I'll supplement in the forthcoming months.
What makes...
Alright, here's what I wound up with so far.. what do you guys think? I'm not in a super hurry to place this order as it's the weekend anyway - waiting for this stuff is going to suck, I want to do it soon!
Dual-Action Hook & Loop Flexible Backing Plate 5"
Pad 1 : Orange
Pad 2 : White
Pad 3...
Well that sucks!! It's unused and bought from amazon, so I could send it back :/
You guys really think the pinnacle is that much better? What's wrong with the mother's clay, or maguiar's?
I can't for the life of me remember what I used years ago.. but the consensus really seems to be that...
Thanks guys, I really do appreciate it.
I am building my order now (man it adds up fast :eek:)
I'm trying to research the different clays (can i use MG UQD for a lubricant? I don't QD a lot because of dust here and it's not a show car), I added the pads you recommended. and the towel that A4...
