    Frustrated. Tons of swirl marks even after wet sanding, 105 and 205 with DA.

    Thanks, Mike. I am using 5.5". But I just bought another batch of BOSS pads, which almost everyone recommends for G9. They are just 5/8" thick. I am afraid this s gonna make my work even harder. I was doing a single-line buffing most of the time on the most concave section. But because it's...

    Haha that would be an option. I just feel the local detailer around me thinks and cares not even as much as I do. Let alone the professional in this forum.

    Thanks so much Mike. This is a lot to take in. Yeah. I am aware of it. < 3mils, thinner than a hair... A few panels of this car have been repainted so I figured they might be thicker. The paint was already savaged anyway so I some how treated it as a test project. Is 15 tWe really need to...

    i had thought 105 itself should be strong enough for 3000 grit marks. Is there a temporary solution before getting a rotary? like a wool pad for DA or microfibre pad ?

    That might just be the answer but my wife won't allow me to invest in another machine if I don't get any good results out of what I have. Any strong cutting foam pad i can try

    Yeah I was constantly monitoring the movement. Only when I intentionally tilted it to use the edge to buff did it stop. The panel was just repainted but that was clearly a poor job ( They probably have even sanded it with <1000 grit) I am using Lake country hybrid so the one harder than orange...

    I just don't understand how this would not work out. Initially I wanted to remove the orange peel on my door so I decided a wet sanding but realized I only have 3000 grit. I did sand the whole door anyway and compound and polish with 105 and 205 with Griot's G9. It didn't solve the orange peel...

    Suggestions of tools polishing Narrow area (pillars, trims, bumpers...)

    Your results are fabulous. I see how it works out with big machines and big pads. But I am more concerned with just the narrow single trim of say, a pillar, of the upper window trim where it at most fits a 2.5" pad. Working with just the edges of big foam pads could be a solution. Is it risky...

    Hi, this has been annoyed me a little. I am not a professional and I am only doing my own car so I probably wouldn't spend too much for a dedicated RUPES nano ibrid. I've seen several ways to do it but not sure which one is the most reliable and I would like to avoid risky ones. 1. By hand...
