Thanks! I use Mike's technique of the terry cloth towel to eat up the spent polish on the pads. Thanks! Hmmm....may save up some cash to get 4 each when the time is right. It IS off season (for me)...:p

What kind of coating are we talking about? I have Menzerna power lock I use on all of my cars paint that I work on. These wheels won't touch salt. Only used during 'nice' seasons. Have my beater wheels for that. :p

Mike, So would these thinner pads make my GG6 more effective? Will also it 'cleaning better' and 'not heating up as a thicker pad' as someone said here make me not to have to use 3-4 pads a car and say maybe '1-2' per car then? I want to get some to try out also. I am thinking of getting 2 of...

Hey guys, I've used the search function and got a lot of good info, but most of it was for FULLY polished/exposed aluminum wheels. I am getting my wheels back from the wheel shop with just 'polished' lip. These are for a Mercedes and as you may or may not know, Mercedes/Euro cars tend to...

This thread is AWESOME!! So would say a autoscrub pad take off old wax too? I would think so...right? Or no?

How does it turn out after going into the wash? I did that in the past, and the pad came out a bit fresher, but still with residue inside of it. Is my expecations wrong? Should I not be expecting the pad to be like my 'polish' pads that are almost brand new when I clean them? Yea--I tried...

^^Agree completely! I love it...but it's scary how strong the stuff is.

Mineral spirits, huh? Hmmm...where could I get that? At the local hardware stores? Is that safe to put down the train or should I do this in a bucket? What's the exact process? It's amazing how the PL has held up. It's as if I didn't have anything at all in my sink! It's almost scary and...

Sooo....I read on here some tips on how to best take sealant off my 'wax' cause of being the newb that I am, I read some bad advice somewhere adn was told to never wash my 'was' pad for my DA and instead just use it when I am applying wax and when not, keep it in a baggy. I am pretty sure this...

Mike, first off thank you for creating this thread/sharing this technique! The results I got after including this into my process has changed the game for me! :) My next question is, do I do this with MF pads? I was told to clean them with compressed air on the fly with the machine on to...

Yep! I will shop here more for sure! I already bought some stuff as a birthday present to myself...and I was VERY impressed with the package, eye for detail in acre with packing peanuts, even down to how careful the receipt was handled which sometimes gets thrown into the box and bent up or...

1. Unfortunately I purchased it through Amazon. :( Wish I bought it through you guys though! 2. GG6, with the plate it came with that fit the nanoskin pad. 3. I stored it in a plastic container that's sealed with all of my pads. 4. Photos: I used this really, like 2-3 times before I...

Yea! I actually called directly...and got the lady's email address. She told me to send HQ pics of the pad and the issue and email it to them. Since then, I never heard anything. HORRIBLE! Bummed I bought it, used it 2-3 times and now can't use it again because the hook and loop system is...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with them before? I contacted them in September because I had a nanskin pad that failed on me. I was working with them to see what they can do, and then I just never heard from them again! Bummed...cause I only used it a handful of times and the...

Thank god I found this thread!! I read somewhere else to keep the same pad I use in a plastic baggy and to avoid washing it. I wonder if it may have mold on it? I use the Menzerna powerlock and now the pad has just gotten so saturated and 'heavy' that it hit me, 'I'm doing something wrong...

She was! :p She just didn't understand what I was doing and why it took so long.....haha Thanks to everyone on this site/this thread! I just need to figure out the waterspots. Anyone know or have any insight too on how to take off the 'white' that's on the plastic pieces in the front...

All in all, I think it came out pretty great! :) First, I washed the whole car with CG's citrus wash to degrease/dewax and help take any crap off. I then went through the whole car with my nanoskin 'yellow' 'clay' pad through the whole car. I used the T.R.I.X. tar and embedded break dust...

Thanks! Dr. Color Chip sounds interesting...may have to use it on Mom's car because there are like 1 or 2 rock chips to the metal. :( Sorry--I meant I used a terry cloth towel to clean the foam pad every pass.

Thanks! I did the 'line' trick already on the pad. It's rotating...I'm just putting a good amount of pressure on it! I think you're right. I will try it again and report back hopefully this weekend. No rock chips. Feint 'slashes' in the paint that didn't come out with the pad/PF2500. Thanks...

OK....so I don't know what the hell to do now. lol Somehow...the water spots came back or I didn't polish them out how I thought or I didn't see it?? Anyway--I just said screw it and left them as is after my ton of passes with a terry cloth pad, FG400 and A TON OF PRESSURE...it's clear they...
