Thanks for letting me know. I will just use CG Citrus and rewash the car to get rid of the leftover polish.

Ok, you guys convinced me to keep my GG6. I did not know I can use a 3" backing plate and 3" pads for this machine, but that helped me changed my mind. Now I can get in those tight spots. I guess I will invest my money on lighting fixtures for my garage instead :xyxthumbs:. By the way, I...

I used Meguiar's 6" MF pad to cut, and the 5.5" LC black and white pads for polishing and finishing. I heard about the rupes and its negatives around curves, which deterred me away from that machine. As for the Flex, it sounds very versatile. I didn't know you can use 4" pads with it as well...

Hello all, So after an agonizing day and a half, I am happy with the results. It sure is rewarding after all that hard work, especially when you get a lot of attention. I used powerlock to seal it, only one layer though because I was so tired. As for pictures, I really wish I could. I guess...

Ok. Thank you all! I am going to pop an excedrin and go at it again. It seems my problem is I am covering too big of an area, and moving fast. I will try very small sections at a time and go slowly and put enough pressure but not enough to bog it down. And here I go.

That might be the problem. I am using Mike's on the go method of just using a terrycloth towel over the polisher and turning it on for a few seconds, but I feel like i need to use a better method to clean the pad. I have the pad brush that I have yet to use. I'll give that a try next.

I think the swirls were taken care of, but their are scratches that are still visible. Not deep enough where my finger nail get's caught in it, but deep enough that I guess I might need a better compound. Yup I used it long enough till it became flaky.

Yup, I put as much pressure as I could, maybe i need to move slower. It's a bmw sedan in jet black.

Hello all, First of all I want to say, I AM EXHAUSTED! Today was my first attempt at the whole car detail process. So far I am on the polishing process and taking a break. Claying the car was not fun. Anyways, I am having issues with correction. I have a jet black bmw (soft paint so I...

Thank you all for the reply! I will go with wash->clay->compound for the first day, and then polish->seal on the second day. Wish me luck! :xyxthumbs: Taej

Hello all, I will be attempting my first full detailing this Saturday with my new Griots 6! However I have a noobie question. This project will be a 2 day project. Here are two examples: (1) Polish with M105 and M205 on the whole car on Sat, and then apply paint sealant on Sun Or (2) do...

Hello AGO members. Taej from Chicago here. Glad the weather is finally getting better. I will be attempting my first full detailing this Saturday with my soon to arrive Griot's 6. I am excited, and wanted to introduce myself first before I go ask some noobie questions at the Auto detail...
