pf can be used with a da. it has more cutting power than foam pads. you would use pf first for correction/compounding then move to less aggressive pads and polishes.

I c, so it can be used for polishing wet sand marks? or real dull paints?


Are those eurow o'reily corp towels better than OTC stuff like autozone, walmart etc.
i was looking at detailed image towels, detailer's domain towels doesnt look too pricey.
which one do you think i should get, i dont wanna polish and use a cheap MF towel and put swirls back on the paint.

i like the eurow towels because of the deep nap they have. can't really say if they are better than anyones else's. just be sure to do the cd test before using it one your paint.


what is a cd test?


Do i use the MF towel to dry car after wash.

waffle weave type are the favored type of mf for this.

Whats the different between a MF towel and an all purpose MF towel? can i use a all purpose MF towel for polish/wax/sealant

not sure. use my eurow towels for just about everything. i dry with wwmf and have some shorter nap type mf for door jambs and old one for the wheels.

do you use eurow for removing polish/wax/sealant? i figure ill use my autozone MF for wheels engine interior

whats a good protectant for the exterior trim?

a trim freindly sealant/wax is good. some use 303, poorboys, and ultima as well as some others are pretty good.

Sorry for all the questions, i'm just trying to do it right the first time

one more question do i really need all those pads or should i get less

your pad selection will be based on many things ie. experience, how much correction is needed, and type of paint (soft/hard), compounded be used with the pad are a few of the things that will determine the pad selection.

I never owned a buffer but i figure the flex3401 would be more better then the pc
Didnt understand this part:
compounded be used with the pad are a few of the things that will determine the pad selection

Thanks!
