Before this is interpreted the wrong way, I want it known that I love a great debate/discussion. On that note... let's have the discussion!! :hungry: One BIG thing that nobody EVER seems to mention... so I will. I have NEVER pushed the idea on unsuspecting folk that that should use the random...

Hey... where are all the :D, and :joking:, and ;), and :poke:, and :dunno:, and :doh: in your statement ? Feed back please

Straight from the Maestro himself..! :bowdown:

Joe, you are hilarious! Jeweling is a term that Todd Helme coined awhile ago. In his words and from what I recall... He wanted to define ultra-fine polishing with a specific term so he could gauge how long it would be before other guys started to use it. Obviously, it didn't take long to catch...

mg6045 is right in his assessment. I use it on all sorts of paints. Lacquer, enamel, single stage, basecoat/clearcoat, soft and hard paints, etc. Just used the discs on a repainted Chevelle I wet-sanded. I will use these discs for all paint types. I always use them before anything else...

Mark, you are right. The contaminants cause the bulk of the scratching. But really... you telling us that YOU aren't gonna polish a car that you intend to wax?! Unless you are hand waxing, it's just too darned easy, much faster, and quicker to wax with a DA. So why are you not using a...

Hey, I'm in YOUR camp... I much prefer a random orbital. but pad versus pad, it is VERY difficult to beat the microfiber discs. A guy like you would be a great testbed to see if an interface pad would help the 3401VRG's performance with these discs. The finishing disc may feel a bit more...

I don't know if I missed it... maybe I did. But why are you not making this easy on yourself? Consider using Meguiar's Microfiber Discs. They will make this all so much easier. A little squirrely with the 3401VRG, but that's partly the nature of the beast, and simply a learning curve. Use...

:wave: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! ! ! :wave:

Joe's Garage: It wasn't very large There was just enough room to cram the drums In the corner over by the Dodge It was a fifty-four With a mashed up door And à cheesy little amp With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ" And a second-hand guitar It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar We...

Gotta tell you guys... This was and is a viable alternative for removing overspray! :ban: This was once a big-time business before the advent of clay. And if that was epoxy urethane on that red truck... it is a brutal paint to deal with. I once removed overspray from 14 cars that had been...

Meguiar's M95 Speed-Cut Compound... it was made for YOU!! From the Press Release: Irvine, Calif. (January, 2008) - With labor costs soaring detailers and collision repair experts know the key to success is giving customers stunning results in the shortest amount of time. Whether you're buffing...

Why is this? With the cutting and finishing ability the random orbital can attain nowadays, it should at least be considered a viable alternative. I know you are aware of this, but perhaps they are not? Slap on the Dynabrade attachment and tell them you prefer the size and shininess of your...

Over the years, I have used gallons upon gallons of M85 Diamond Cut Compound 2.0. It is a great product, especially at the typical "street price" (retail is about $43.72, street price varies from $27-$39). And that's how I'd gauge it- if you want a product that'll cost you substantially less...

Yes, thanks for noticing my skills.... :props: Still trying to reach your capabilities in the italicize and bolding technologies... A long way to go still.

Not at all over-analyzing. Like there's something else going on more important that this right now?! :righton: C'mon Man, we're talking cutting power, direct drive, long stroke machines that are designed to flatten and grind stuff! Better to discuss things and analyze what's going on than...

Right. Right. Once again we are in agreement, but the wires are crossing. A softer pad... a pad with more "cushion"... a pad that is more pliable... a very "squishable" pad... would bend under more than a ruggedly built pad under the right condition (lack of backing support). My...

Only if the pad had no backing and the foam was so incredibly stiff that it had no ability to compress. What typically happens with large stroke machine is the foam compresses along the edge where the pad is "gripping" as it is pushed, so the foam in that general area becomes more dense as the...

Just kidding, of course. If you cannot locate what you are looking for, consider making a centering plug of your own, and use pads that have a hole in the attachment material as shown: (Tim Lingor photo): I don't think it would be overly difficult to do. The Flex backing plate has a hole...

Sorry, but forum rule 388 stipulates that, "Once a thread goes off course to the point of percentages swaying that thread to a new topic... the original point of the thread has been lost forever and ever." Sucky rule, but still, a rule. Perhaps if enough of us complain we can change this...
