I'm on the same boat; and after a bit of experience on cloudy and not-so-hot days, you'll know how much sunlight your project can "afford". In the case of polishes (I use menzerna), you can work it in hot days adding a bit of lube (made of a part of QD by four of distilled water in a spray...

I mostly use the dreadlock-like side; but the other side works smoothly when serious dirt is bonded to the paint. The main advantage of this mitt, it's its capability to retain shampoo; so squeezing it gently you have a constant flow of shampoo, and only takes a little to get used to it. I'm...

I use this sonax MF-covered sponge: SONAX Microfibre sponge :: Accessories and Aids :: Products - SONAX - cleaning and polishing like a professional And I'm more than satisfied with its results...

Mike, I'll get to grips with that suggestion! I know it's strange, and I really want a DA for these kind of final jobs... but it's a nosense pay USD 400 for a DA which isn't at least a PC, GG or Megs. Again, thanks a lot for that tip!

Guys, after all I've tried it last friday on my GF's focus (it was holiday here in Argentina), and i'm amazed with the results!!! I've did it as you said: red pad (previously soaked with a bit of QD and run the machine some seconds before to put the wax), the lowest possible speed (600 RPM)...

I've used it topped with collinite 915 and works great. As a pro detailer told me, the main use of the net shield is as a preparation for nano lack, increasing its bonding.

I use 5.5" pads with a 5" backing plate and it's quite easy for me to control my dewalt... Maybe a rubber BP or a "foam" one will gives you the extra cushion you're looking for. Provided I'm a novice in polishing, if for me it's quite easy to control a rotary with 5.5 pads... imagine you that...

Thank you all you guys for the welcome!!! Mike, I had a typo mistake, I wanted to say that's a pity i've noticed LATE you came here... It's uncommon to have that kind of events here. It was really nice watching you detailing that mustang... but It would be great if you come back again, you use...

I know what I'm asking the first answer I could get is "get a DA" or something like that; but here in Argentina they're extremely prohibitive (USD 400 for a PC, and Rupes and Flex models start at USD 700 and can go up to USD 1100!!!)... but you can get a decent rotary for about USD 180 and 250...

After reading the forum, and taking great ideas/opinions and so on, it's time to start writing a bit!!! I'm Sergio from Buenos Aires, Argentina (It's a pity I've noticed that Mike were here the first days of april), and I consider myself as an enthusiast of detailing, besides here you need a...
