I'm thinking he might care if i completely messed up the paint :) I did some minor wetsanding on some etching on the g/f's car.. i would rather do it on a car where the owner literally doesnt care at all... might have to ask my neighbor to let me practice on his beater :)

WHOA! That looks better than new! AMAZING!

Thanks, guys! My brother doesnt really care about how it looks, so this is more just an opportunity to hone my skills a bit :). My car and my g/f's car have seen all the correction they need.

Setec - Sorry for the confusion. All a single "set" so about 6-7 passes, then wipe off, and proceed with polish. There were still a good amount of RIDS, and some of them i am able to feel with my fingernail, so I figure they're very deep. Cleanmycorolla - I usually keep my arm moving slow...

Hey all, I decided to test out my 6" Megs MF Cutting Discs on my brother's 2004 Grand Marquis. I didn't follow the guidelines of least aggressive approach first, as I wanted to test out these pads, and also, the paint is clearly in bad shape. The car has been kept on the streets of Chicago...

If its just a few small pieces... i take them out by hand. More than a few... use for non-painted surfaces.

:iagree:If this wasn't AGO, I'm not sure I would have ever clicked on a forum with that title.

Congrats! Sometimes I wish I had the balls/financial stability to pull a move like that off! Best of luck!

Guess - I was just talking about the cable from the amp to the speakers :)

I completely understand the comparison. I am by no means an audiophile, but I do appreciate a decent sounding car/home audio system - and love to be able to have the power to crank it up at times. To me, I think Audiophiles are a little wackier - maybe they just have way too much money. I...

Thanks all! Mike, Thanks for the detailed response. I just tried out some Collinite 845 over the weekend, and didn't worry about pad rotation. I did experience some slight "dragging" as you mentioned... but still 10x easier than doing a hand application. I've come to the realization that...

I was using Meg's ultimate liquid, and poorboys ex with carnauba previously. This weekend I put some Collinite 845 on with the DA, and kept it at speed 3, it had some rotation on the completely flat surfaces. I realized that when i was using the DA with one hand, as to not put presuure on it, i...

Brant - Glad you were able to fix it. As far as DAs not being able to correct paint, I completely disagree with that. Its just a matter of finding the right pad/compound/polish combination. Im sure there are plenty of people here that do substantial paint correction with DAs and forced...

:iagree: I use CCS, and this weekend i will be trying some CG HexLogic pads... i used the green one (hex logic)so far and was impressed

:iagree:

Sicktred - I'm using 5.5" Pads, with practically just the weight of the 7424 for pressure, and a slight pressure from my hand, and the unit tends to wobble a bit. 4bidden - Im actually using a 100' (maybe 75') extension cord i believe, but it is a 12ga and rated for 15A i believe. I'll try...

I think it looks really good, and the sealant (or/and) wax will make it look even better. You should throw some pics in the show and shine forum :-) Sent from my Nexus 5 using AG Online
