I have a 5" backing plate. Sounds like I should go with a 5" Meg's disc.

So if I purchase the 6" Meguiars cutting disc's it will not be much different than when using the 6" chemical guys cutting pad? Have another DIY project and it's my SUV. :cry:

Thanks for your replies....will adjust accordingly.

I wetsanded my car with 1500/2k/3k and went at it with menz fg400. I started with a MICROFIBER ORANGE CUTTING PAD 5.5" and didn't really like the results (had to go over twice or more). This using a PC 7424xp ( I have a dewalt 849 but don't quite trust myself)...

What does "HD speed" mean?

Hi, After wet sanding my car (1500 - 3000 (3k w/DA) I used menz fg400 and with a lot of effort worked it and go rid of most of the sand marks. I have menz sf 4000 on hand and have used in a fender to see the final result. I say it look pretty good for an amateur DIY like myself. Is there a...

The speed master looks like quality but $30 w/ shipping. Seems steep for a wheel brush. Any others?

Hi, I have 5 vehicles with different wheels. What is an overall good brush for wheels? I've been using a small hand held brush from Target which seems to be too harsh on the chrome wheels. Is this Mother's brush a good choice? Mothers Wheel Brush makes cleaning your wheels more comfortable...

Thanks for your reply. Would using a 3 inch pad on my PC or Dewalt be of any added benefit?

Hi, I have a set of 17 inch chrome wheels on my 90' mustang that have been seating for years outside (mainly under a car cover). They have been neglected (water spots/dirt). What approach do I take? I have a PC 7424 and a dewalt 849 (3 inch plate on both). Link below is a to illustrate the...

If it's taking two passes or so w/ an orange pad to get rid of the sanding marks with Menz 400/pc 7424xp would a surbuf pad make quicker work, how about a yellow pad? Is there a difference between Flat Foam Pad orange pads and CCS orange pads?

I wetsanded the rear fender (1.5k/2k (hand)/3k (disc) and used M400/M4000 (orange/black pad) w/ PC 7424xp. It took a couple of passes with the compound to remove all/most of the sanding marks. I assume it would be easier if I used Surbuf pade ( Your Car Wax SuperStore - We Are Car Care, Car Wax...

Sorry, I left out important details. My 90' mustang was painted 10 months ago and never cut/buffed. Supposedly 3 coats of clear (some sort of PPG). I've done this before (years ago) so I'm not a total newbie. I know today's polishers/polishes are way better than they were 20+yrs ago. I...

Hi, Is a Black_Optics_Microfiber_Orange_Cutting_Pad a better choice than a HEX-LOGIC MEDIUM-HEAVY CUTTING PAD, ORANGE for removing wetsanding marks (3000 grit) with my PC 7424xp? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have two black and one dark grey car in all. Is a foam wash gun worth the money? What are the steps to use a foam gun? I assume it costs more to use a foam gun than the standard method of using a bucket. http://www.chemicalguys.com/Foam_Bla...ign=072415FOAM Thanks in advance.

Re: updated 2 -16x24 Wolfgang Concours Series I'd can take these two. :xyxthumbs:

Yes, I use the ccs pads. Are they really different than ones w/out the dimples? I noticed when going to Harbor Freight that they sell orange pads for $5/ea....are these junk?
