Have you had any luck on this subject? I have a similar problem with my BMW M6, there is light orange peel that I wish I could tackle with a DA. Sounds like it would need a wet sand to be effective...

Guys thanks for all the great advice! Do I have to use the griot's pads or can I use the Lake Country Flat Pads?

I am starting to lean toward the griots-extra surface area, more power, seems like a no brainer, opinions?

Thanks for the info-it is a tough choice! So is the griot's suppose to be the better of the three?

No I haven't seen any show and shines on my cars, that is good advice though I will have to check that out. Right now I am only looking at buying the tools as I have quite a bit of products that I recently purchased. It seems that I may go with the PC with the 5.5 inch pads-to tell you the...

Hey guys I am looking at buying a starter kit-I haven't decided exactly which kit but it will likely be the Porter cable, meguier's, or Griots. My question for those that are more experienced: Are the kits complete with the correct backing plate/pad combination? I seem to remember that one of...

I am in the same boat as you, I would like to give my paint a new begining since I recently purchased the vehicle. I have heard using dawn wash with clay would be the trick. Although, I am a bit reluctant to use dish soap but I doubt it would do any harm. I would like a recommendation for...

I ended up using thinner to remove and start all over :)

I am glad I found this great website and this looks to be a great forum with a wealth of information! I ran into a snag in what I thought was going to be a strait forward clear coat touch up on a piece of carbon fiber. I prepped the surface with a wax and degreaser and I layered about 3-4...
