Thanks for your replies! It was definitely not polishing residues , and they were not induced by removing the polish, i can 110% assure you of that! (that mistake was made a week ago and I perfected my technique hehe). I used Sonax EX0406 and the car sat for about two days without being...

Those exactly, 70/30 blend, i really liked them until this realization...

I'm sealing it with CC ONE (Sonax) They were recently bought, not even a month. Been washed two times since (used twice also)

Hello! After a long polishing job where I was overall satisfied with my results, I used CarPro eraser with the same microfiber towels I used to remove my polish (after a tourough cleaning and inspection). I noticed I induced alot of marring on my clear, even some micro swirls. They were...

Good morning! thanks alot for your replies, I have the pleasure to tell you I found my issue! Hope this might help a beginner some day! first; my ipa was 40% iso to distilled water, and I use chemical guys MIC506 (70/30) microfibers. I ordered a dedicated panel wash prior to do my coating but...

whoa! I hope it's not the case !!

Yes , thank you, i ordered some and waiting for it , in the meantime i do with what i have access to. It would seem a combo of maybe left over marks and mostly pad choice would be my issue. Here is a pic of my test spot about 24 hours later with a quick ipa wipe. Marks gone, and you can...

Thanks for the replies! I'm using a few different models of LED lights that I normally use for mechanic work in the garage, all around 5k+ color (it's all i got) If I play with angles it may look good or bad. I mostly can determine if I did something good or not, it just takes time hehe. The...

Finally I ordered both, only had the chance to try the G8, with my 4 inch pads, honestly it does the job, will stall if you let it, but I had no issue doing my work with it and some adjustment. It does run hot (speed 5-6 with slight pressure) but the noise/vibration levels are wayyy better than...

I run a G9 with 5in backplate and 5.5 pads, very satisfied of the price vs quality/performance. I'm an amateur tough. Would buy again! -even ordered a g8 lol

I have a very weird issue at the moment, doing a correction polish on my car with messed up sides (previous owner probably used contact carwash or rubbing sand on the panels..) Keep in mind I am a n00b at this; Using a Griots G9 DA, with chemical guys Orange (medium cutting) pad, and a...

Hello! I was considering coating my car before winter with Sonax CC36, but stumbled upon CC ONE which is about the same price online. Tough, I could not find many informations / reviews about it... Sounds simpler to use, similar longevity, etc. Any input would be gladly appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for your imput! Yes the Adams mini, aswell as the maxshine m312 seem to be contenders,tough i do not like the switch type/placement (i prefer trigger), but alot of complains about the g8 stalling easily. Gonna keep reading to make a reasonnable choice hehe

Hello! I recently bought a Griot G9 and am very satisfied with it. I use it with a 5in backing plate and 5.5 pads. I have an old Shurhold DA polisher that i use with a 3 in backing plate for 4in pads. Works well, but the vibration and noise, and damn switch is driving me crazy. I am looking...

Visually there was no debris in the pad, I also took the time to brush it after every section, and touroughly clean it with soap and water after each 2 pannels. For sure I will be going back to the drawing board and resupply when the time is right. For now I am okay with the job I did, far...
