Wow, all great info. I found that there was so much information out there, I made the poor choice of buying a chemical guys torqx polisher. I am planning on buying the Griot's polisher sometime in the next 6 months and want to have as much info as possible so I always pay attention to your...

Really, this looks to be a very simple answer for the OP. If you want to do this part time without giving up your day job, weekend warrior will most likely be your status for a while. I assume we all love doing this because it is not easy by any stretch so sacrifice is necessary. As a young...

Joe, After seeing you sing the praises of the FAST correcting cream and the BOSS line in general, I just purchased the FAST correcting cream and some MF correcting pads. I think you also just sold me on purchasing the BOSS buffer once I am ready. I've been using m105/205, UC, HD Speed on my...

Also requesting the VIF! [email protected] Thanks for all you do Mr. Phillips!

It seems that the MF pads cut better and faster than foam pads. Would you say that this is your experience? I am still new to polishing and im finding that on my black DD, I am just now recently getting good correction with enormous amounts of pressure and more passes and rounds of compounding...

Welcome to AG. Great to see the passion and motivation for something we all love to do.

I have nothing for you but if ordering ironx is presenting a problem, start with DUB wheel cleaner (Developed by Meguiar's) and/or Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel cleaner. Both products produce bleeding once in contact with contaminants produced by brakes and wheels. If you find you like how...

+1 for this lol. I prefer the air bubble packaging. If you're like me and sell items online, you can re-use them!

Count me in!! I have 2 sets of Buff and Shine foam pads and love how well they work. I have been looking into buying microfiber pads and this would be a great chance to get some use out of them!

Cannot wait to spend every hour possible compounding and polishing my black car. Considering taking on an apprenticeship offer locally and learning to do rotary paint correction. Of course ordering a coating for my brothers 2016 Chevy Impala LT, Heavy Duty wheel cleaner from Griot's and really...

I've actually tried this with the Griot's wheel cleaner which also has the same color-changing makeup. I saw less bleeding on the 2nd application but I don't live in an area with high levels of iron. I think DUB and the GG wheel cleaners cannot be accurately and legitimately judged until they...

Great response. I think some of us who are newer to this technique need to hear opinions like this more and more. That said, experience is gonna be the ultimate test.

There are plenty of follow up posts in this thread. It took me a week to read it all, but trust me, do it! You will get literally an answer to virtually any question you can come up with. In short, early on you will see most people had great results with the Spar technique for 3,6,9, 12 months...

I'd like a copy of the forms as well! [email protected]

+1 on this recommendation to avoid M105/205. I am a new user of it and I can say from my experience the last 3 times, it is not as user friendly as other products. I would use HD speed if your paint is in good condition. I just bought HD Poxy as a seal. Griot's is more readily available than...

That is the exact store where I purchased them. They do deliver product as well. I take it you're located in or around New England. I'm in RI and its typically hard to get guys to work with me based on locale. Ask if they can deliver to you or to a shop in your area for pickup. They were...

Check their website. You can either buy it there or look for their retailers. I was able to find a local retailer that sold it 2 miles from my house and has 500 bottles of Adapt, Speed and Poxy each! Saves on shipping and you might get it right away since its so difficult to order online.

Look on the 3d website for a local retailer first!!! I'd ordered it from AG but had to cancel because it was backordered. Went to the site and found a retailer 2 miles from my house and saved myself money. In the end, I would have paid more for the product and shipping than I would have had I...

Sometimes....it seems impossible to make a car shine this great. After reading so much of the advice here, I just buy pads every chance I get to avoid the risk, but it would be great to see at which point an experience pro would consider changing the pad.
