Glen, after reading your most recent reply again, I think what I need to do is be more vigilant and just use finishing polish next time w/ the white pad on the finer scratches, go slow, go over them multiple times, see if that helps. The max # of times I went over any given area was 2, and...

Wow - it's been a long time but I finally, finally got around to using all this stuff. Yesterday I used the Griot's random orbital after a good wash and clay bar treatment - I used the Mothers Rubbing Compound w/ the orange pads then the Finishing Polish with the white pads. Finished with...

Hi, thank you so much for this useful post and info! I am on the Adam's site and cannot find their fine glass polish product, or the pads - any other brand you'd recommend that's fool proof (for me??) :) I did find their clay mitt and will order that as well. Silly question - with the clay...

My friend got a Black and Decker WP900. It comes with a 6" backing plate. Do you know if this 5" plate will work in its place? I can't find any info about it in the docs for the buffer that I can find online, but I told him that he should get the smaller pads with a smaller backing plate to...

Thanks Glen - helpful tips! The CCS pads are on their way, and while it seems flat would work just fine, I'm going to try this out with the orange and white CCS pads on my Benz's black paint. I'm told Benz paint is hard, and there are significant swirl marks and some scratches, so I'd rather...

I also just realized that the CCS pads seem best designed for a dual action polisher. So should I cancel those and go with the regular flat Lake Country pads instead?

I'm a newbie to using a buffer for paint correction on my black 2014 Benz E-class. I've been using the same tips a nice reseller of Mothers products gave me over 15 years ago (Ray from Waxstation.com, now defunct). I've only ever detailed by hand but I noticed swirls in the paint shortly after...

thanks for the quick response! I just ordered the 5" backing plate, about 6 orange CCS lake country pads and 4 white CCS lake country pads. Any reason for a beginning to go with the "flat" vs. the CCS with this buffer? I'm seeing that one can wash the pads themselves in a washing machine with...

I'm getting dizzy realizing all the things I did NOT know about how to properly care for my car's paint. I have a Griot's 6" buffer and am shopping for the pads I need (using Mothers two-step compound & polish after Mothers clay bar treatment before I ultimately use their synthetic wax). I'm...
