the same pattern as you would with a DA, makes sense thanks

Hello Larry, First off I'd just like to say that I learned a lot about detailing from your vids and the mistakes I was making. In fact I just ordered Hydrate from AMMONYC and I'm happy to have the piece of mind that im not scratching my car when im drying it. My friends think I'm nuts, but its...

oh ok nice, what would your recommended technique be for using the Euro pads? what direction, pressure, time taken to rub the product in. anything you can tell me

I am ordering a Griots DA polisher a 6 inch backing plate and a 3 inch backing plate. But for those tight sports where I cant use a DA im thinking about ordering some CCS Euro Hand compound and polishing pads. So im curious if anyone has used them and if the are effective. Also im curious as to...

so compound with orange, polish with white, then polish again with green, then seal?

that's what mike thought as well that since the car was new and only had light swirls and scratches from improper car (thank you dealership) lol that the swirl remover with the white pad would be the place to start. and nah man I meant the white pad with the swirl remover (compound) then use the...

and what your saying is that using the swirl remover with the white pad then polish with the green pad, could result in a more clearer finish than if I used the polish with a white pad? I'm kinda thinking the pads are like sand paper in terms of the fineness that can be obtained with finer grits

Im not sure if its hard or soft paint buts its the car in my picture a 2013 VW GTI in Candy White

well since theres mostly light swirls and love marks, it a brand new car that was a show room car. and by the advice of mike phillips, im gonna start with Wolfgangs swirl remover with the white pad and see how it goes. So could I do the swirl remover compound with the white then use the polish...

I was going to order orange white and red pads from CCS for my griots 6 inch DA to be used with the wolfgang paint correction system. After much debate and trying to save money, I decided to not order the reds and only order the orange and white pads and hand apply the sealant. Figured there...

Since coming to Autogeek and all the great products it has to give. I feel it is time to upgrade my tire gel to match my other higher end stuff. I have been an avid user of Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel which goes on with incredible gloss and can last a week or two. But Im curious if autogeek has...

Hello Mr. Phillips, As you may have guessed by my obscenely large number of posts and questions, I have a lot to learn and get straight when it comes to detailing, even though I thought I knew most of what there was to know. Anyways, my question is in regards to the wolfgang paint correction...

I have been an avid user of Westlys Bleche White Tire Cleaner for years, worked wonders. But ever since Black Magic took over, the product just isn't the same, doesn't cut through the gunk, mud, tar and old tire gel like it used to. So now im in the market for my new Tire Cleaner. Any good...

Alright I se what you guys are saying. So lets say I order 4 white pads. Could I use swirl remover with those 4 pads, then completely clean and dry them, then polish the car? Or would the pads be too warn?

well the finish isn't oxidized at all, its brand new with pretty much a lot of "love marks" and some swirling on the hood, but nothing too drastic. Mike Phillips suggested that I use the Wolfgang Paint Correction System with CCS White pads for the swirl remover and polish and a red pad for the...

I have been told to order 3 to 4 pads per application with a DA polisher. Which I have no problem believing or ordering but here is my question. Why do I need to order so many pads? If I was to use a compound and a polish one after the other and use the same pad brand and type. Couldn't I just...

New Paltz, between Kingston and Poughkeepsie

Thank you guys so much for helping me out. I will definitely be doing test sports and will be getting back to you guys with results ASAP. Thanks again :) Just gotta wait for my stuff to ship now lol

I am going to be cleaning on the fly, I have watch a video of Mike's cleaning method and I bought pad cleaner as well so I will be cleaning the pads after each body panel or for the larger ones 2 a panel. and the red pad is just to apply the sealant, its not going to cut or polish anything, so...

could I get away with using two pads for each color, orange white and red? trying to keep the pad buying to the "pick your 6" packs they offer. a side note, im getting a 3 inch backing late and a set of 4 inch pads as well, so what I get for my 6.5 inch pads ill have to get for my 4 inch ones as...
