How do you pair foam pads with compounds and polishes and how do you know when they are needed? For example how deep do swirls need to be in order to use a compound?
Thanks for that, I just looked at some and they look like good deals. How many pads would you suggest for an entire car?
Edit: which kit would you recommend? I don't need any wax since I plan on using cquartz sealant. I'm also a bit confused when it comes to the pads themselves, I didn't know...
I will be doing some paint correction on a black Mazda 3 (jet black mica) soon and originally I planned on doing the entire car by hand since it doesn't need too much work. It just has some minor swirls, a few chips on the hood, and a few bubbled up spots from bird drippings that have sat too...
