    So what is the verdict? CCS pads or good ole' flat pads?

    I would like to know your opinion on the flat LCs vs CCS LCs.... I need to purchase some new pads soon. The batch of CCS pads I first bought were through Proper Auto Care... the ones with the blue foam behind the pad supposibly to help "stabilize" the pad on edges/slopes. :rolleyes: IMO their...

    Another 106FF question... rate its cut ability...

    I just detailed a 1970 Chevelle with a custom paint job. I used my Hitachi @ 1500-1700 with my new orange CCS pad and Ill be damned it didnt do the trick. :confused: While it removed quite a bit it didnt finish it off all the way. Maybe I was asking too much. I started with Megs...

    Well.. in all honesty this car kicked my butt! I was ready for smooth sailing but turns out this car had maaaaaaajor issues. I ordered some 106FF specifically for this car (which cost a grip by itself and 3day shipping) which ended up not doing the trick for me. I originally saw this car...

    What is your absolute favorite polish to use with the ROTARY?

    I used my rotary for the first time yesterday (unexpectedly) and the polish I used was Megs #83. While it was effective I was REALLY aggitated by the amount of dusting it made. I mean it was rediculous. I have a couple other megs in my arsenal.. #84 and #85. Anyone tried those? With that...

    Which pad textures are most common for the rotary?

    Im trying to nail down what specific pads I want to keep in my arsenal now that Im going to be moving to a rotary. So far... from all the reading Im doing... it seems 6" pads are the top choice for the rotary. For some reason I had a preconceived notion that the bigger pads were the "way to go"...
