Thanks guys. Unfortunately switching down is not possible now, I JUST bought 6 pads for this prep, it has to work for now, no more money to go into it :/ I'm an IT guy so I can have a poke round inside, no worries. Appreciate the advice, just wondering if maybe it was something stupid I did...

Interesting to me, the 3m did not work, klasse aio with an ornge pad worked well. Guess the 3m isn't for me (probably something I'm doing wrong)

This stinks. I bought it two years ago, got really ill and used it once. Finally recovered, out there trying to work on my car..it's shocked me twice. the first one made me say...hey! The second one made me say ah..man. Also what level of vibration is normal when using speed 6? How hot should...

Hi all. I'm pretty new to detailing (seriously) and I'm butting my head against the wall here. We have two more days of ok weather before it gets scorching so I'm trying to finish the car for summer. I have a new car with the dealer installed swirl marks. They are mild and mostly on the hood...

Sounds to me like I should be getting 2 red and 2 white and 2 grey for now, since I don't have a ton of correction.. Then use the white for Klasse AIO grey for Klasse sealant Red for wax application. I guess I'll place my order, it would be really nice if it was here before the weekend...

Sorry to occupy space here with such basic questions. Upon reflection it seems like we could probably get from 6 pads to three..maybe manufacturers just found a way to make more money. There's so much overlap it makes me think yellow white red are the way to go. The in betweens may be for...

Sorry one more clarification... Orange pad for 3m White for aio Grey for sealant glaze Red for wax Don't remove anything with the machine, remove all products by hand (well break down the 3m then remove) Are those the right pad choices? Since there's overlap, I'm not sure when to use white...

So I suppose what I'll do is: Wash, clay, inspect for swirls and if present polish with 3m, klasse aio, klasse sealant, wax Sound about right?

Thanks Kurt, good advice!

Thanks, I thought they basically fit all five gallon buckets. I'll make sure to do some searching. @rob t, appreciate it! I think any claying I have to do right now is so minor that most will work.

But if the mitt scratches.. that's a no go. I mean, for $9 wasted (if I can't return it), i'd rather not use it. I'll do my own cd test tomorrow with the various things I have.

The thing is, right now, I don't need more cutting pads. I have no doubt I will at some point and I can get more then, but we're already at $150, which is beyond what I had budgeted. So I'm trying to do what I can for this treatment, and I'll supplement in the forthcoming months. What makes...

Alright, here's what I wound up with so far.. what do you guys think? I'm not in a super hurry to place this order as it's the weekend anyway - waiting for this stuff is going to suck, I want to do it soon! Dual-Action Hook & Loop Flexible Backing Plate 5" Pad 1 : Orange Pad 2 : White Pad 3...

Well that sucks!! It's unused and bought from amazon, so I could send it back :/ You guys really think the pinnacle is that much better? What's wrong with the mother's clay, or maguiar's? I can't for the life of me remember what I used years ago.. but the consensus really seems to be that...

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate it. I am building my order now (man it adds up fast :eek:) I'm trying to research the different clays (can i use MG UQD for a lubricant? I don't QD a lot because of dust here and it's not a show car), I added the pads you recommended. and the towel that A4...

Yah, I wish companies would use universal terminology! So the klasse that I have is a glaze (the aio) and a sealant for the other one (I think it has sealant glaze in the name, i forget) I know I will have to buy more pads, but I'd like to space it out :) Since I won't be doing any major...

Great, so the white would be for other compounds, like glaze or ... and the grey is for.... I've read the descriptions, there seems to be overlap so I'm not really sure which way to go. Thanks all, sorry for such basic questions, I don't want to muck my order up! btw, congrats on your quit...

BTW< would the red pad be for applying wax and the grey for removing it?

Thanks for your response. I'm in Phoenix - hot and dusty! I looked up the plastic bag test and will try that when I wash the car (have to order a few more things!) Thanks for the info on pads. Why would you recommend against the glazes? It seems like your recommendation is for cutting more...

Thanks so much! I should have added, I have been using for years bmw's interior cleaner (maybe it's something rebranded). It seems to work very well leaving things matte with just a hint of citrus scent. That said I'm open to change but have the better part of a bottle left. Any tips on best...
