    Which Griot's "kit" is right for me for marine detailing?

    great choice on the griots 6". Love that tool. as far as what package, just get the pads if you buying it for your boat. or just get the unit itself. either way you will be happy

    Smaller pads, ditch the counterweight?

    i ruined the megs 3'' backing plate somehow and i suspected the same thing at first, the counterweight. what actually happened was the thread kinda striped from it wobbling so much. i didnt realize it was wobbling till the damage was done. it was either the wrong attachment or the counter weight...

    Yet another product/pad question

    yes 1st gen z's have pretty soft paint. so it is good that your using the finishing glaze, although it may only serve its purpose on dark color paint. but use the grey pad. thats what finishing glaze is meant to be used with I.M.E

    Yet another product/pad question

    the question you should ask yourself is, which one is right for you? white pad with WGFG is not wrong by any means, it all depends on the job at hand. but i like to go by the rule of thumb when it comes to polishing, Start with the least aggressive method first, and always do test spots before...

    BMW interior help

    i think what you need is a product like forever black or something similar. it has a dye in it that restores the black more permanently. unlike the silicone stuff that you might have been using. then you should use 303aerospace Vinyl protection on all vinyl, its what i recommend for black...

    Menzerna PO85RD alternative?

    I would think Optimum finishing polish, or the 3M light finishing polish.

    MF Finishing Wax And Finishing Disc?

    I use D301 exclusively. i learned after a while that depending on the size of the panel, if the pad is kept clean you can work in larger work areas to save time. just keep the arm speed slow and steady

    Meguiars Ultimate Compound vs M105

    not sure about the PC build quality being better than Griots. usually a lifetime warranty means its a near flawless product. i have the Griots, it might be the best DA to use with 6.5'' pads because of its 7amp motor compared to the 4amp motor on the PC. Griots oscillates well under pressure...

    unfortunately, my car would have to fall into the mildly neglected/ possibly neglected category:cry:. What makes me very upset is that I love my baby and care so much for her. but i had some bad luck along the way. shoddy paint job for 1 and typical NY haters purposely damaging my car. at my...

    I am very upset over this

    not to worry, with every thing the government can throw at us there must be a counter. the got radar, we got radar detectors. they get red light cameras, we get tinted plate covers. Maybe someone can invent a type of EMP device that disables the speed cameras or confuses them
