that link isn't active. Can you post in text what it was? Also curious as to why gas vs electric?

Swanic, glad you recommended the CP rayon pad with ceriglass. I just ordered that Friday!

Somehow this whole thread got derailed into talking about FG400. I ONLY have SF4000. I agree with "only as much as needed" approach which is why I figured for a new car, SF4000 is prob all I need. SF4000 with orange pad SF4000 with gray pad to pop it LSP

Looks like white and orange are next to each other in the chart, orange being one step more aggressive ... So I think the orange will be fine. Am I correct to think an application using the orange with a little less pressure will somewhat equate to the white?

sigh...i don't have white pads...

Here's pics of the hood, it's 9:45am here with the time change, sun is low. Car still has some frost and beads of water. I didn't want to clear that off and scratch it more. It seems to me this isn't too bad. Again, process I want to use/verify with you guys: 1) wash, ironX, clay, dry the car...

The question was relating to a two step process using SF4000 for both. I dont even own Fg400. 1) wash, ironX, clay, dry the car 2) SF4000 with orange 3) SF4000 with gray or red to pop it 4) LSP

Question, is the setup available to actually detail my car if I came out? Is this feasible? How long do you guys tyoically take to wash, clay, buff out and lsp your car? Never done it before so sorry for the rudimentary Q.

Noob question but why leave tape on for 5 days? I dont get it. I can see leaving it on for an afternoon, but dont you need your car for those 5 days? If doing another person's car, do people usually leave their cars to be detailed for a week?

I ordered up the leather master protectant. After searching for 30 minutes, seemed most people like this product. Unfortunately it is out of stock at AGO but on amazoni got it with free shipping so it wasnt a big deal. Should get it next week and will post my results.

I saw a youtube vid stating 1:1 when cleaning the engine with PP, so I wasn't sure.

One part PP to seven parts water? Or the opposite?

On the Nissan a few posts earlier, on the edges on the hood, does one hand polish/compound those areas? They seem like "pockets" to me. I assume in this case one doesnt go in there at all with a DA or a rotary...?

In that first video link where mike polished the driver side hood section at the front grill, he polished on the top and over the edge, but did not go "down" the edge and into the narrower side. If he were to polish the narrower side where it tapers pretty thin towards the radiator, would he...

IIRC, white is softer than orange correct? Might as well try it with an orange pad at this point. i'll hit it again with the gray or red too. I have three each or orange, gray and red. I assume that's enough? I figure to use the air compressor to blow them clean. Also, what domyou guys do to...

It's still crappy in chicago. I was hoping to do this next weekend if it warms up a bit. Car has salt on it. No good pics. Because it is new i figured the paint would not need fg400 as a first step, using sf4000 twice, once with orange once with gray, would be enough. See above, i was hoping...

Mazda 2014 CX5 in soul red Menzerna SF4000 Griot w/LC5" BP LC waffle 5" in orange gray and red I was planning to do two treatments with SF4000, one with th orage to remove any light swirls, then go over the car again with the gray to buff it up (or maybe the red) I am new to this, just got...

As a web designer in the past I would like to offer some constructive criticism: On all the pages, the pics don't line up. For example, on the home page, the pic of the black car at the top left corner sticks out past the orange rectangular title graphic. This looks hacked up and conveys to...

Well I'm not sure I'm going to make it but it's on my calendar of "to do" stuff. I just got my GG DA (look at that, only a week into it and already using acronyms like a pro) yesterday and some pads. I ordered up some Carpro rayon pads to do the windows on my wife's car. I am hoping that comes...
