I have some foam pads without the hole in the center. I want to add a 3/4" hole on those pads to help with cooling for use on a 15mm stroke da polisher.

What compound would you recommend that offers slightly more cut than 3D One? I want something that I can go to if 3D One and a microfiber cutting pad on a 8mm DA polisher isn't getting the job done. Basically, something for hard clear coat. I'm currently looking at Jescar correcting compound and...

I understand that some panels may not result in perfection or even near perfection, how do you know when you reached the limit for paint correction on a given body panel? What are you looking for as far as indicators to not go any further?

I know you're not supposed to put an iron remover on plastic trim. Is it best to keep an iron remover from running over plastic trim when rinsing it off as well or is it not much of an issue when it's diluted with water as it rinses off the vehicle?

I read that the Chemical Guys Hex Logic pads are made by Buff N Shine and use the same colors as the Buff N Shine flat foam pads. If that's the case, then why does Hex Logic call the green as heavy polishing and the white as regular polishing, but Buff N Shine says that the white is heavy...
