    Polishing raised edges + mild polish

    Would like clarification as well. It's my understanding to be careful or avoid going to the edges or raised sections because of thinner material. Do you guys just hand polish near edges and raised areas?

    Claying problem

    How's it going everyone? I clayed my car last Friday using GG paint cleaning clay and used GG speed shine for lubrication. I was just wondering why the clay would get stuck on some parts of my car and actually leave clay residue which feels like smeared clay and it was quite sticky to...

    Optimum Power Clean for wheel/tires?

    Would it be harmful if I don't rinse if off with a stream of water? I know it doesn't need to be rinsed off when used for the interior (leather/vinyl), but for wheels and tires, it says to rinse off. Would using water in a spray bottle be enough as far as rinsing off wheels and tires? Thanks.

    just the info I've needed clarified. Thanks. However, I wonder if speed 3.5 would be around or closer to 4800?

    Griot's Garage 3 or Porter Cable 7424 with 3.5" backing plate?

    not sure which post and I wouldn't know what term to search for. If you have the link handy, would you please post it? Thank you. edit: found the post. It was mainly for a rotary using the extension. But found some info from Shiny Lil Detlr about it being less than ideal on the 6" DA.

    Griot's Garage 3 or Porter Cable 7424 with 3.5" backing plate?

    I'm also thinking about this option since I already have a 2.75 rotary BP as well as the DA adapter and I have a question. Would it be ok to use this together with the rotary extension just to have more space between the DA and the pad for better visibility of the working area, instead of...

    Method to get this key scratch out?

    I know meguiars have a hook and loop foam interface pad for their 3" sanding discs and I guess it attaches to any 3" backing plate.

    White M3 help

    I'm working on a white m3 as well and my trunk has a lot of swirls. Never tried machine polishing before, let alone an extensive detail. For my first ever experience yesterday using GG 6" DA with Megs Microfiber system, and practicing on the trunk, I haven't been able to remove all the swirls...

    DP Waterless & ONR

    The first time I did an ONR rinseless is presoak with ONR QD strength. I guess it just made me more comfortable having the panel soaking already before wiping with the ONR. But I came to realize that I may have been overdoing it because I was presoaking every panel(didn't matter if it was not so...

    Thanks fellas!! I've been reading up a lot of posts here and have learned quite a bit but only in theory so far. I'm just starting to apply them as I have time to spare now.

    I just watched the GG video again and it says to turn off and then lift while it's slowing down. :) I guess I can delete this thread?

    First Time Machine User

    Hope everyone's doing well. Like the title says, I'm new to machine polishing, and I tried using the Griots 6" DA with the Meguiars microfiber system and I was just wondering if I was supposed to lift the pad off the paint before turning it off or wait for the machine to stop orbiting? I tried...

    Wheel cleaning when doing a rinseless wash

    On another thread about ONR washing, Todd used DP wheel cleaner. I asked if there are other dedicated wheel cleaning products that are safe to use with ONR but so far he only has experience with the DP. I'll test Griots wheel cleaner(Non-HD) on one wheel with my next ONR wash and see if it has...

    Hands burning after Ultima Waterless Wash +

    There's one for the waterless wash concentrate too. Unless it's not the same with the Waterless Wash plus.
