Thanks for this! I currently have a number of yellow, orange, white and grey ccs pads (5.5"). The polishes I have are m105, m205, Meguires UC, Meguires UP. Between the polishes that I have do you think that is a good enough range? Would I be right in thinking that the heaviest to lightest cut is...

So having m105, m205, UC, UP would I need anything else for either compounding or polishing various paint conditions using the 'least aggressive polish to get the job done'. There are so many other polishes - Meguires swirl remover, and different Meguires mirror glaze series etc. But with what I...

Hi there can someone clarify what the differences are between foam cutting pads, microfiber cutting pads and say lambs wool leveling pad/bonnets for DA polishers? Am I right in thinking the heaviest cutting pads to lightest are - Lambs wool pads Microfiber pads Foam pads (yellow, orange) What...

Hi there. I currently own m105 compound, Meguires Ultimate compound and Meguires Ultimate polish. I have been thinking about getting the highly recommended m205 polish but just wondering what would make this unique compared to the two polishes I already have? I mean what's the difference...

Thanks guys, really helpful. I have a large trailer/RV that I am doing next week so I am trying to work out what the best and time effective procedure will be. The guy wants it washed and waxed... Any suggestions for this?

Great job!! How many passes did it take to get most of those scratches out of each section? I assume you spent a fair bit of time working on each section to get those results and spend 12 hours?

Amazing work guys! Just wondering why would you use the Pinnacle polish over something like m205? I get so confused with so many different products out there. Also why did you use the pinnacle swirl remover instead of say m105 compound? Just trying to get a grip with what to use for different...

Hi guys Does anyone know if you can get away with using an orange ccs pad with a one step cleaner wax? Do one step cleaners have any abrasives in them? Any pros or cons to using an orange pad with it instead of the suggested white or green pad?

Does anyone know if you can get away with using an orange ccs pad with a one step cleaner wax? Any pros or cons to that instead of the suggested green pad?

Cool thanks guys, lots for me to think about!!

Hi guys I am planning to buy the Lake Country 5" backing plate for my harbor freight DA polisher. I just wanted to check if anyone knows it will be compatible? The thread size for my machine is 5/16"-24UNF. Are there any other factors that might make this not compatible?

Hi guys, just wanted some tips and advice on looking after your back and body when detailing. I love polishing the hoods of cars because it's nice and easy but by the time I have spent time kneeling on the floor polishing the doors of a car my lower back in particular is really sore. I often...

Hey guys what is the right color lake country ccs pads I should use for polishing with Meguires Ultimate polish. Also I have a big job someone has asked me to do in cleaning their very large trailer/RV. They only want it washed and waxed. What would be the best color ccs pad to use for waxing...

Thanks for your comments guys! Have decided to get an old junk panel to practice wet sanding. There are non branded wet sanding papers on eBay at decent prices. Would I be in trouble if I got one instead of the Meguires or 3M papers? What actually is the difference in quality? Secondly would...

If it is passed the clear coat then I assume you cannot wet sand that type of scratch?

Hey guys how can you tell if a deep scratch has gone past the clear coat? And secondly I am thinking of practicing hand sanding/wet a few scratches on my car. What grit paper would you use? 3000 and then 5000? I only have a DA polisher to buff out the sand marks with m105. Lastly are 3M sand...

Thanks guys, that's really helpful!! I assume the smaller 5.5" pads will give a little more cut too as well as easier to buff smaller areas?

Hi guys. I will at some point be changing my backing plate to a 5" instead of my current 6" one, so that I can use 5.5" ccs pads. Whats a recommended backing plate/brand? Is the Lake country BP the best for this? I have a Harbor Freight DA polisher. A few different suggestions would be great...

Would I be I right then in stopping buffing as soon as I can see no more m105 film on the paint? I found that the m105 film really disappeared after a few passes. So am thinking this time I will stop as soon as that happens. Is that correct? Also I did notice from my last job that when I used...

Hi Mike, I noticed that when using m105 last week it did seem to be fully abraded after just a couple of passes. At first when I spread it you can see the hazy film of m105 but very quickly that all disappeared! I continued buffing as I know you normally suggest 6 passes for a section. Maybe I...
