Ok, here's what my cart looks like: Griot Wolfgang Kit OEM Yellow Cutting CCS 6.5 inch Pads Pkg/2 OEM Green Polishing/Finishing CCS 6.5 inch Pads I'll worry about the 3'' backing plate/pads, M105/205, and Serbufs on another order. Everything look set? I think it's about show time!

No budget issues with either kit, although saving a few bucks is definitely welcomed. The paint on my car is pretty danged swirled right now. It's the original 2 stage paint from 1994, and while it's been washed/waxed/garaged for most of its life, the washing methods used on it in the past were...

I can do such a thing? Madness!

The more I look at the Griot kit, the more I like it. I've always had the Wolfgang Twins in my mind for correction on my 300ZX, and the Estate wax that comes with the kit is just icing on the cake. AND since the kit is half the cost of the Flex, I could get the 3 inch mini polisher and have...

From what I gather from Mike's write ups and videos, the Griot and Flex are very similar. The Griot is easier to learn, but the Flex has more correction ability (Random Orbital vs. Forced Rotation). But how significant is the difference in correction ability? You would think if the Flex was...

Hello all! I've looked through a lot of different threads comparing DA polishers, but I can't quite come to a decision on which one best fits my circumstances. I've been hand washing my cars for several years now (wash, clay, wax), but would like to get a DA and start working on things like...

Mike, Your write ups are awesome :props:! And as much as I love working by hand, a DA is definitely the next investment I plan on making. You just can't argue with the results and the time saved. Hopefully I can snag a deal on one when Friday's sale rolls around, maybe even a kit if I'm lucky!

Yep, that is indeed a great article - it's actually how I came to my decision on the Poor Boy's product in the first place. The solution matched the condition of my paint as well as the result I was going for. However, it seems like I forgot about this part of the article entirely once I started...

Update on this topic: I sent an e-mail directly to Poor Boy's inquiring about application method for this product. While I'll be trying the circular application method next time around, I think it would be helpful to get an official word on any potential dangers of applying this stuff in a...

I think I'll wait until the next wash, and add in a clay step to boot. I'll soon be a machine type of person as well, holding off until Friday's sale to see what kind of kits show up :props:

Absolutely. I had no expectation that the product would leave my finish swirl-free, I just wanted to know the correct application method so I can avoid putting swirls into the paint in future applications. Would you recommend working the product in the next time I wash the car, or did you mean...

I used Poorboy's World Polish with Carnuba. I was thinking the same thing too - with the abrasives it might be better to work them in a bit.

Hello all! Long time reader, third time poster. I did a basic exterior detail (by hand) on my Nissan 300ZX and performed the following steps: 1. Wash with DP Rinseless 2. Dried with Cobra Guzzlers 3. Waxed with Poorboy’s World Polish with Carnauba (BLUE) using the red CSS applicators. I also...

If you can live with the minor swirls, then leave it be. Sounds to me like it bothers you a bit, so why not polish them out? 205 is a solid solution for light swirls, but since it doesn't seem to be working for you, give the Wolfgang products a shot since you have them. Or you could pick up...
