    How many pads do I need to buff out my car?

    I wonder what would be the recommended numbers for Microfiber cutting pads, 50/50 Uro-Fiber pads, and Wool Cutting Pads. Same principle? I feel like one can get away with less with these pads. What do pros think?

    Coating single stage paint - should you?

    Ah, I heard about this. Was this permanent staining? Should I put these pads aside for single stage jobs only? I will be using 6 brand new Uro-Tec Yellow Polishing Pads (or Maroon Cutting). Maybe I should've ordered some cheap B&S flat pads for the single stage job? Any tips?

    Coating single stage paint - should you?

    Does the Megs #7 treatment have any benefit to a MODERN single stage paint? I thought it was only for the OLD SS and oil enriching process won't benefit modern urethane paint, SS or not. I have a poorly maintained 2006 Toyota Tundra which I believe is a modern SS urethane and I was planning on...

    The difference between white and “white”

    Excellent, I really appreciate the detailed write-up on your process with this one. I may not have to preclude the G15 after all on this one. I'm looking forward to doing some testing and tackling this one.

    The difference between white and “white”

    Nice! I am waiting for better weather, so I can tackle my new-to-me 2006 Tundra White next week. The paint has been neglected and it was washed with Dawn and Scotch pad by someone that doesn't know how to properly wash a vehicle. :doh: Single stage soft white is what I hear. Measured the paint...

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    Any more updates from those that got the new G15 or G21? Any comparison made to the older models or the Rupes in terms of smoothness and noise level?

    Real benefits of 5" backplate on 21mm throw?

    Did you notice any increase in vibration when you made the switch from 6" to 5" BP?

    Foam Pad Options for the Griots G9 Polisher

    Thank you so much! I am sure I can use it, but the future viewers will probably appreciate your comment on the combo as you have used the G9 with other pads and have something to compare with.

    Foam Pad Options for the Griots G9 Polisher

    I appreciate the insight! LC Force Hybrid is close to 1.25" thick which makes it one of the thickest. Since all of Griot's pads are between 5/8"(BOSS) and 1"(non-BOSS), I was wondering if their newer G9 will be balanced and still have enough power with the these thick ones. What you said makes...

    Foam Pad Options for the Griots G9 Polisher

    Can anyone verify that LC Force pads are not too thick for the G9's? Comfort is great with LC Force Hybrid, but wouldn't want to get more pad stalling in exchange... Also, would it be crazy to use thin pads (say BOSS) on the G8 and use thicker pads (say LC Force) on the G9 for correcting and...
