As a newbie, I was hoping for some advice using 2 of the 3M Products. my difficulty is translating their recomended speeds on a Rotary to the speed on My Makita PO6000C 6” pads. 1. The 3M Perfect it III Ultra Fine Plus Polish - Yellow and 3M Yellow Pad 3M Data Sheet says 1,500 to 2,000 rpm but...

Thanks, good to know BHs not more agressive. I like the fact that Meguairs says their clay is non abraisive and it does leave the paint glassy, shiny :) . Would you say its easier if I used that Detailers spray (that came with the Meguaies clay) when I use the Bilt Hamber Soft? Some reccomend...

I thought the US versions just upped the Amps. I find the Pro Karcher versions very different to the Domestic ones, solid brass heads etc. A different league, as is the price. Thankfully we have a couple of big shippers to the contruction industry so the price difference is tiny. What you have...

Where did you get that little backing plate from, is it a Makita brand? Or whose? And for what model name Any details much appreciated That would be perfect for mine :)

What make and size (3””) is that smaller backing plate and where did you get it from? Did you use the std. Makita M8 x 14mm bolt to lock it up?

I just replaced my 26 year old Pro Karcher electric with another one, the Pro HD range is nothing like their rubbish plastic domestic ones. 130 Bar (1900psi) and 620 L per hour, and very very quiet. Its excellent and has a fabulous snow foam lance, and the new easylock connectors are ace...

When you said “If you go with Meguiars you would go up to the proffessional aggressive or mild clay to compare it to BH.“ are you saying the Bilt Hamber “Soft” clay is more agressive than the Meguairs Claybar kit clay ( very white bar) ?

I just wet a thick soft kitchen paper towel and plonk it on. So its totally soft and then repeat. And sort of slide/ scoop it off when its totally runny. Just avoid any scrubbing action If its bad then I admit I hose it off , rinse with filtered water and blow dry it ... using a dedicated...

I just washed mine with AG body shampoo, blow dried, and wiped with a very little bit of Collonite 476S and ever so gently hand buffed (well wiped off gently) with a super soft deep pile micro fibre. Works perfectly for 6 months, no distortion etc. No idea if its good for your car but seems...

We live in an incredibly hard water area, water from the tap looks like incredibly diluted milk. We always drink filtered water. You foam lance would dilute it so much there would be no effect. My best defence is :- Powerwash car normally Snowfoam it Powerwash it off. Use filtered water in...

Thanks , have you tried Bilt Hamber Soft or Megaiures?

Just wondered if anyone knows which is the least aggressive on clear coat? I previously used Meguaires Clay kit. Very happy with it except the high price. I was told Bilt Hamber was just as good But does it cause more marring or is it more agressive , naturally I dont want that. If its just...

Thanks so much Its a minefield with these pads and every one using different colours . Amazed they dont standardise colours with cut. Even your gloss pad looks orange to me, yet it says gloss pad. And the one on the web I found looks white?

Hi Is this the pad? Says “Gloss Pad PU 150” on the back Hope its the same one you guys get in the US. Thanks

Sadly. Not sold in the UK :(

Hoping to use my Makita PO 6000C DA to spread on the wax on a regular basis. So to preserve the clear coat, I definitely want the softest most gentle Pad with no cut. I could use the 3M Ultrafina Blue pad #50388 Ideally would like something as soft (least aggressive) or softer, and not blue...

Very jealous of your choices in the USA .. how come only the Chinese seems to be able to freight stuff cheaply into the UK? personally I would much rather buy American as long as you went Metric lol!

Thanks that was pretty much my envisaged cleaning route. But if the Flex mini backing pad works the I may just get by using it on the Makita. I saw those “stalling” issues comments. What I find odd is everyones goal seems to be , that it must spin .... so why not then just put it in forced...

Thanks I found a set, and could use my right angle mini drill. Mike very kindly found out for me that the Flex mini backing pad fits. So I will try that and hope the Makita is not too big. If it is I could try that set, with the mini drill. Just a bit worried as its been used on some wood beams...

Thanks Luckily Mike checked for me that ine can use the Flex 75mm mini backing pad. So I have ordered one of those. And any difficult areas Ill do by hand
