I have a 6" backing plate and was wondering if the PC can handle it. I am working on large, flat panels(truck) and don't need the safety margin of the smaller backing plate on a 6.5" pad. However, I feel like the PC may have been getting a tad warmer, almost hot, during use, so I went back to...

I had a little failure of my painters tape a while back. It was covering some of t his textured black plastic you find on so many of the vehicles today. I have tried several things to remove the residue, the whitish discoloration, from the plastic, but it continues to show up after every few...

I am seriously in need of getting some spot buff pads for my polishers and I have been waiting for the rumored Edge 2K pads. Does anyone have any idea when they may be released? I am ready to buy today and may have to go with hook and loop pads before too long..... Todd

Does this lable have any connection to Pinnacle in terms of manufacture or research? A review I just read about this product seems to link the product with the chemists that developed or helped develop the Pinnacle Souveran line. If it does have a connection, is it a line AG may be...

Can I order wool pads from Autogeek for my rotary buffer? I see that both Lake Country and Edge make wool pads, but Autogeek doesn't list them on the web site that I have found. Please point me to the missing product area or let me know if AG will sell the wool pads. Todd

I am going to do some work that will require removal of 2000 grit sanding marks and I need a wool cutting pad. I am probably going to have to hit up my local 3M supply house for a wool pad, but I wanted to ask about the wool pad/bonnet AG sells. Has anyone used it alone to try and remove severe...

I am reading a lot about the new super hard, scratch resistant clear coats that are starting to make their way onto vehicles. Apparently, MB switched to these with 2005 models and I read an article that states the clear coat is now being supplied to various domestic auto plants as well. There...

Which do you guys prefer for compounding out deeper marks? I currently do a medium cut pad and a heavier cut compound to remove the real hard stuff, but I wonder if it would be better to use a heavier cut pad and lighter compound. Will the newer 'diminishing abrasive' compounds allow you to...

I know, another thread on these pads, but I have to get an answer to this before I take the plunge. I am still very worried about the center drive possibly hitting the paint. My question is how is this prevented at all costs? I am guessing the center of the pad is some sort of backing plate...

Well, I have been here only a short while and I have read your comments. I have NEVER used AG products before, but I have a ton of products purchased from them now. I finished up my 2004 Dodge Ram, in the awesome shade of black, the other day and wanted to share a few shots. This is a full...

Well, I have put the PC to the test and I am impressed with its capabilities, but I am a bit taken back by how long it takes to get results. I put the orange pad to work using the XMT fine swirl remover and was surprised to find it takes a ton of time and speed 5 to 6 on the PC to get results I...

Hello all!!! I am another newbie to your site. Scott(KillerWheels) provides excellent tips and such on a forum I visit often and I decided to look into detailing as a business. I have been detailing cars for about 18 years in a semi-professional manner(friends, neighbors). I have never...

Hello. I am pretty new to this forum and I am very new to the PC DA unit. I have some neighbors and friends that I detail cars for in a general sense. Not professional and not to the point of removing scratches. Now, I am looking at doing this as a serious business and have some questions...

Okay, if I needed to use 2500 or 3000 grit wet sanding to remove a scratch in the clear coat, is it possible for the PC remove the sanding marks with the right pad/compound combination? I am really hoping I can do this with something like Poorboys 3.0 and a yellow cutting pad or maybe even an...

I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on these two products for me. I see a lot of info on the incredible Miracle towel. However, the Cobra Detailing MF towel is listed as a higher thread count and a 70%/30% MF towel. It seems to me that the detailing towel is the way to go for...

I am going to get a rotary buffer and start honing in my skills with it over the next few months. I get great reviews of Hitachi power tools locally and was wondering what you all think of the Hitachi buffer versus the Makita. These two are the lightest of the units out there, so I would like...
