    What speed settings do you use on gg6 and gg3

    What speed setting does everybody use for the different steps with a gg6 and gg3? I just finished polishing my truck with the gg6 and don't think I ever went all the way up to 6. I stayed around 5 for both correction and polishing. I did notice that hd cut seemed to flash over so I'm wondering...

    How bad are these swirls? 1-step or 2-step req?

    Thanks DCJREDLINE. I am only doing my own cars and this will be my first polish so I am hoping the Meguiars is also more NEWB friendly. I want the over the counter easiness so I will be going with UC/UP. So would everyone say my swirls are Mild or Moderate? Thanks again everyone.
