I was going to use the Blue (T40 - Polish) pad with Meguiar's M205 Mirror Glaze Ultra Finishing Polish.
I am a TOTAL newbie and will be using my da for the 1st time.
I have bad arthritis to go along with a bad back, so I thought I could use the blue pad to apply it and then use the Red (T20 -...
I bought the SPTA 5pc. 5.5 inch pads off of Amazon.
I just want to polish my car for the 1st time using the HF Bauer da.
The pads seem pretty coarse, so do I need to "prime" the pad before using it?
If so, how do you do that?
Just curious how long a backing plate lasts.
I am a weekend warrior and will be using my cheap HF Bauer da on my own car twice a year.
I bought the Casoman 5in backing plate (a pack of 2) and the SPTA backing plate.
So, I now have 3 backing plates.
Thinking of returning either the 2 Casoman's or...
Just using on my own car.
I went the cheap route and bought the Casoman 5in backing plate and the SPTA 5pc 5.5in buffing sponge pads.

Anyway, today is my birthday and all I wanted to do was become one with my car !!!
The wife complied and so I did a thorough wash and applied a wax and everything was perfect ... until I saw a LOT of...
OK ... I am TOTALLY driving myself nuts about this Microfiber Towel Care Guide. I am going to re-read each post and go with what seems the most common technique.
I have MF towels, applicators and a mitt ... BUT ... is the waffle weave drying towel considered a MF product ? or do I have to wash...
As you can see by the number of posts, I am a newbie.
I bought a Carrand (CRD94009AS) 6" Dual Action Professional Polisher since I am a complete newbie and despite my best intentions I will most likely not be the car enthusiast I should be ...
Thanks Goldendodo !
I was thinking of getting a polisher but everyone tells me if you don't know how to use it, you will make swirls. I'll take some pics tomorrow.
I am sooooooooooooooooo glad I found this website ... but now I am more confused than I ever was !!!!
I am a complete newbie and must confess upfront that as a kid, I surprised my dad by washing his car with dish soap and brillo pads - true story !
I know not to use those two again, but I...
