A Guide to Dual Action Polishing : PDF Format

PDF DA Polishing Guide

Above is a link to a pdf formatted guide to Dual Action Polishing.

This is a beta version of the document, so I appreciate all feedback on mistakes and suggestions for improvement throughout please.

Nevertheless, I hope that this document proves a useful reference for DA users of many levels, beginner or not.

Cheers,

Dave KG

I just took an initial look at this thing and WOW is all I can say. Looks like a great deal of hard work and effort.

Looking forward to reading it more! This needs to be stickied!

Re: A Guide to Dual Action Polishing : PDF Format

nice.

Just looking at the first few pages, you listed the LC Green pad as a heavy cutting pad.

Also, i can understand why you don't want to spend too much time on it, but the polish list might me a little short. There are some pretty popular choices that are absent. You still have enough room on the page to add one of those

hmm, n/m i see you went into more later.

kudos on a great guide

What about Optimum Polishes that are pad dependent?
