    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    wow, I appreciate the offer! I'm way down in southern Illinois, Carbondale, Herrin, Marion area. This vehicle is my wife's Toyota Highlander. I now have a Ram 1500 crew cab. It took me one time washing that big sucker to decide I needed a machine for polishing and waxing, lol. It'd take me...

    Polisher Decision

    I got one from autogeek. They did a price match for me. I paid $110 including tax and shipping. They had it in stock so mine arrived at my house today. Now I have to get pads before nice weather gets here because I'll be dieing to use it. thanks for letting us in on that code.

    Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher

    Thanks everyone. I'm going to start looking out for deals on a GG6. I'll probably only use it 2-4 time a year. So hopefully I won't need the warranty but it's nice to know they'll make good on it. Thanks!

    Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher

    If Mike refers to it as a DA, I'm convinced. He did mention though, that stopping the pad with too much pressure wasn't likely because it has much more power than the pc. He also said that stopping under load is part of what makes a DA safe. So that worries me a little. It's clear that...

    Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher

    Well, two answers that either contradict each other. Or could be just a difference in terminology meaning the same thing. But if it is DA, why wouldn't they just call it that like their competition does? Leads me to believe it is actually a whole other animal than the pc and meg's.

    Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher

    I have a question I guess hasn't been asked yet (I searched) on this forum. I guess I'm the one fool who doesn't know, lol. Is the Griot's Garage 6" Random Orbital Polisher a "Dual Action" polisher? The other popular PC and Meg's polishers are referred to as "Dual Action" and thus, are...

    I tried and it said the promo code was invalid. It didn't say out of stock though. Regular price was 139.

    BrettS4, Where can you get the GG6 for around $100? The best deal I can find is $125 + shipping. All I find for closer to 100 is the 3" version. Thanks.

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    Thanks everybody. I'm convinced on getting a da before I do any correction. I've looked for used 7424xp and really, considering the minimal savings, I think I'd be money ahead to buy new. The price of Autogeeks lowest bundle is hard to beat and I think would be a very good starter kit. Thanks

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    Wow, that's a thorough article. Very informative and indicative of the advantages of the DA polishers. I'm sold. Just have to save up a little and live with the swirls until then. Thanks everybody.

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    I expected ^ "that person" to show up much earlier. Lol It's all good. Are you saying don't even bother with the klasse AIO or just a swirl remover? It has directions for using by hand.

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    That's actually a great idea. I don't know what to expect from the klasse twins. But if they hide the swirls well enough I can probably live with doing one panel at a time or until I get a DA. Thanks

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    One nice thing about doing it by hand is that there's almost no chance of rubbing off too much clear coat. I don't even know if that's a valid concern but just the kind of thing I worry about. I know the DAs are supposed to be safe though.

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    I should add, I would like to remove rather than fill the swirls so I don't have to repeat this step each time I detail. Thanks

    swirls in metallic dark grey paint

    I have dark grey metallic paint that has been neglected and has typical spiderweb swirl marks. They aren't what I would call severe, just the typical we've all seen on daily drivers that aren't maintained as well as needed. I'm going to wash, clay bar, _________, Klasse AIO, Klasse HSG, maybe...

    Coated my tires today and WOW,

    Ok. I thought it only came with a foam applicator. I could get a brush easily enough though. unless somebody has an alternate product suggestion, I'm going to buy some and try it out. THANKS

    Thanks, I don't have an airbrush but I hadn't thought of that. Good idea for anyone who does.
