thanks for the tips. will try it. am using XMT #2 and #1 using orange and white pads, respectively. i spray some pad conditioner prior to using da polisher.

wow on the scratches, did they use the car for ice skate ramp or something? j/k :) i got those scratches on a civic im working on. lots of elbow grease.

here is some before and after and still working on it. this is the passenger door. its not perfect but close. would an XMT#3 in an orange LC pad do the job? right its just XMT#2 and orange pad with 2 passes. the left side of the 2d coupe 00 civic. left side is done, take a look of the...

my answer on #6. from my point of view. i only got one of each, orange, white and gray. and i am only detailing an 8 monh old suv and a 6.5 year old car. these pads should be more than enough to do both vehicles. but it is always to have extra pads, as it is always nice to have them and not...

am using my pc 7424 and just recently, im noticing a white powder while the pc is spinning? is it the blue tape when getting hit by the pc7424? or what gives?

using the orange LC pad and xmt#2 at speed 6 going slow till polish breaks down. i guess would have helped better if i have the xmt#3 (ordered). orange pad still ok (ordered another orange pad as well). yellow pad and xmt #3 would be my best bet of some deep scracth, i'll attack it next...

makes cars tasty!

this is my third day, spending 3-4 hours. patience is something that im learning to deal with, im a little impatient guy. but this time, being patient gives me good results. well i tought i could finish it in a day, i was wrong, the first day, pectoral muscles sore, lol a good execise too...

actually i need more stuff from ag store like additional pads and maybe 4" pads too for small areas. btw, that xmt pad cleaner is awsome! all this time, i though my car is clean until i came across this site. oh well.

i played with the PC 7424, and im impressed with the XMT's ability to bust swirls. am very tired, whew i just realized detailing is physically demanding chore and time consuming for a newbie like me. i just did the hood, driver's side fender and doors. and i started aound 6pm and did it until...

i decided to just keep it, am gonna need it anyways down the road. what i just found out, is that "detailing is a ton of work!!!" so just sampled the hood to see what is gonna look like, and i cant beleive i turned back time on that hood and looks like year 2000 again, btw, its a 2000...

what is the equivalent of z2pro and z5pro in the xmt line? or can i say, can i top xmt2 after z2pro? does this make sense? sorry im just a little lost here.

XMT Porter Cable 7424 Light Swirl Remover Kit Free Bonus! and some more stuff from AG. i'm stoked!!! all i need is some beer on my fridge, am pretty sure they will be cold by the time am finished. here's to autogeek :cheers: i do however need to return some of them or exchange for...

now it looks like a brand spanking new civic! good job, how many hours have you spent from start to finish? nicely done!!

the best and the worst black is the best looking (detailed) and the worst looking (easily get dust) as well. but i like black cars, in my case a 4runner. i know for sure that someday, ill never gonna buy a black vehicle again.:cheers:

i use simple green to clean up engine bay and my rims, so far so good.

isnt it that cali duster is coated with something that attract or hold dust?

i dont have that time either, just ask out of curiousity, to follow it up, how do you take off dust in your car?

as title goes, is it ok? or just after wash? or use QD only if necessary? everyday sounds obsessive.

great support, Thanks again. i will be getting my xmt #3, #2 and #1 with the porter cableal ong with different pads from AG store. they made it simple for us new to the hobby so select a good combo to get started in auto detailing. the truck i have is an 06 4runner in black. the condition is...
