IF it's not antique then like someone else mentioned, might as well just hit it with some compound foloowed by poish and the seal her up.

Won't hurt to rub her down with #7 but if you're going to compound it you'll just remove the paint gorged with the #7.


Here's a really good example of doing the #7 first followed by a one-step cleaner/wax.

Thank you Mike for your feedback, as well as your dedication to the craft and helping others out! Thanks also to all others for their help and comments. This forum is beyond amazing with regard to its content and quality of membership!

I have a DA (Shurhold), as well as M105 and M205. Are these products a good place to start? If so, which pads/backing plate would you recommend for these products using a DA?

Get a 5" backing plate and 5.5" thin foam pads and you'll get a LOT more pad rotation using your Porter Cable and thus better results faster.

See my article here, there's tons of info on the page more than just the picture of a marker making a mark on a backing plate.

The pads I show in the article above are Lake Country 5.5" thin foam pads.

I wrote that in 2012

Since then Meguiar's has introduced their thin foam discs. And AG has picked up the thin B&S foam pads.

Thin is in....

Especially when it comes to using tools like the Porter Cable with their Free Floating Spindle Bearing design.

Mike - My apologies, as my post was lacking info, and you were quick on the reply. I have edited my post. My DA is actually a Shurhold, and it came with a 5" backing plate with velcro. Is this sufficient?

The last time I used a Shurhold I think I remember it being the weakest of all DA polishers.

I still have the receipt and it's in the box.... ;)

It looks like this site has quite a few package deals that are tempting....
