Thanks for the info. I sent an email to Farecla asking what pad they recommended. Two days and no response from them.

I stopped at a local automotive paint supply store today. I was looking for a finish polish. The counter guy recommended this product. He said it is the best polish he has ever used. I pointed out that the label said swirl remover. He said he uses it all the time for a polish before wax whether...

I want to win some 1Z products from Autogeek!

I got a bottle with an order a few weeks ago. I put it on my wifes sienna prior to a 1000 mile round trip. Seems to be a super thick soap. We were within a couple hundred miles from home on the return trip and ran into a steady rain. By the time we got home, the coating was gone and so were most...

I just got the Poorboys kit last week. I ordered extra orange and white pads in the 5.5in size. I have spent the last couple days polishing a black miata. I had scratches and swirls also. The SSR 2.5 and orange pad got rid of the swirls and most of the scratches. Still working on a few of them...

Thanks for the help. I just came in from doing the hood a 3rd time. I think I got a few more out. I have tried both 5 and 6 on speed. I really didn't see much difference. The miata has single stage paint. The garage floor looks like someone painted a car. I didn't realize how much dust would...

Here is a long one. I got my PC and Poorboys SSR 1.0 and 2.5 two days ago. Today I washed and then clayed my black miata. I started off with the 1.0 on a white pad. Then went to an orange and still had some swirls and scratches. I then went to 2.5 and a white pad. Still had scratches. I switched...

Re: Awesome giveaway for our machine users! I love Autogeek.net and I really need a Grit Guard Pad Washer!

The kit I ordered come with 2 white, 2 grey and 1 blue ccs pads in 6.5 size. The bonus is 2 5.5 orange pads. I called this morning and ordered 2 more orange and 2 whites in the 5.5 size. I had read on here that a lot of you prefer the 5.5 size over the 6.5. Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks for the advice. I am a little nervous about this. I hope I got the correct products. The miata has black single stage paint so I am thinking about trying the polish and white pad first. Any thoughts?

Ordered a pc and pad kit today. Also getting PB SSR2.5 and 1.0. My black miata has a bad case of swirls. I didn't realize there were swirls till I backed it out of the garage yesterday. I had just finished putting on 2 coats of Duragloss 651 and 105. I plan on washing and claying before trying...

What size pads? I have read several posts. some recommend the 6.5 others the 5.5 low profile. Sorry to be such a pain.

I have a black miata that My wife got me for my birthday. The PO must have dry washed it and left bird droppings dry on it. It was full of scratches and had several etched places in the paint. I just finished applying 4 coats of Scratchx by hand. I then put a coat of Colorx on it. Looked good...

Thanks for all your kind thoughts I figured it would take a machine to get the spots out. Just washed it and am trying more hand work. Shines great just can't get the spots out. looks like there is a 7424 in my future. Here are a few pics of my toy.

I bought a used 96 miata last september. I wanted something to keep me occupied since I had run out of projects. My youngest son had past away in Dec 06. My wife thought a project car would help pass time. The Miata was owned by a 63 yr old divorcee. The car has 52,000 miles on it. Triple black...

I find the phrase grease monkey offensive. My dad raised 11 kids working as a mechanic. Maybe I am just sensitive as he just passed away a couple years ago.

grease monkey a.k.a. mechanic? Shine boy a.k.a detailer?

I found this forum and Autopia several months ago. I have been lurking off and on since then. It was here that I found out about NXT. I have been told that I am obsessive compulsive or is it completely repulsive. Probably both. My sons say I am major anal. Not sure about that but my hat is made...
