well its not my dd, its a garage queen/weekend cruiser/racecar lol but after watching Mike Phillips do some correction videos, he deemed a hood 100% correction and it had particles and stuff all in it.. so I guess thats just part of slick paint. I think i'm learning :)

well 4 hours is counting getting all my materials ready, NUMEROUS inspections with that spotlight haha and trying out pad cleaning on the fly which with my pad cleaning brush seems to be a waste of time smh.. I don't see how it could help at all? it can't pull off any dampness from the pad.. and...

ok awesome thanks guys! its just when I put that led spot light on it, it drives me crazy cause I can see everything lol of course I was taking my time but it took me 4 hours for just the hood and fender lol. i'm sure i'll get quicker with practice

Ok, so i'm doing my 2010 mustang gt today or atleast starting on it being its my first time on a full car, I've done the hood and fender, using Meguiars ultimate compound with orange GG pad and gg 6" orbital and finished it with swirlx with the black pad even though it probably didn't need it...

Awesome thanks for all the info guys! love this forum, just wished i could use the search function more effectively.. maybe i'll figure it out lol

so the question is for polishing effect, I should use my black gg pad and speed like 3-4.. and if i wanna remove swirls with it, the orange pad with speed 5? (somebody please answer that question :)> But it feels like theres never a need to actually just polish up after anything.. the ultimate...

I use ultimate compound as my compound, not sure if i mentioned that above.. but sometimes I like to use the swirlx if the finish isn't bad just has swirling and light scratches like my mustang.. I haven't tried it on the orange gg pad i have but i hit a test spot with the black finishing pad...

what do y'all think about my second paragraph statement? accurate? and also, how should i go about removing the pad since there is so little velcro available to pry on..

bought a 3" backing plate and it says its actually 2 7/8" so it should be fine for 3" GG Pads but I went to put it on today and its pretty tight fitting as in you have to have the pad almost perfect on it.. is this normal? should i buy a 4" pad? and since the backing plate takes up almost all...

yea i thought the smoke was bad.. well the spots i guess oxidation and acid rain didn't come off the first time so i started applying more pressure the second application time around and the pad was warm when i got done. and i thought about finishing up with the swirlx after but I didn't see any...

One thing I did find odd was that after doing the trunk lid which is a small area, and a drivers side whole door panel I did not find that my pad was even remotely "dirty" or in need of cleaning... and i noticed some smoke coming off of my pad after i got done compounding the trunk lid when i...

so i've been researching for the past 2 weeks on how to use this thing and proper techniques and blah so after probably 20+ of videos and forums and advice I tried it out on my moms 2006 charcoal lexus es350. Her car has awful I guess you could say acid rain or etching in the clear on the hood...

Alright guys good to know, thank y'all.

I usually always clay, but I could tell they wanted as cheap as possible and claying done right takes a while. I totally agree just skipped it this time only to keep the price down per customer request.

took me like 8 hours to do it all..

man i would love to make that doing a car! I charged a lady $100 to do her minivan this weekend. full interior detail stain removal, wipe down, windows etc (although i'm still looking for a way to get dirt and oils off of leather to make it look new again) I didn't claybar it just because she...

I can't wait to show dad what a real clean up looks like with my GG DA, it comes in tomorrow! so excited!! I can't wait to do my first 50/50 shot.. although idk how i'm gonna capture it on my phone

and i've just been thinking i'm not charging enough for what i do because i'm making more money waiting tables doing half the work lol but i don't wanna price myself out of business..
