Heh heh, *you* feel old 3Dog and I remember when Meg's first offered those newfangled foam pads Took a while for 'em to catch on.

rydawg- Those are some interesting sounding products!

rydawg,

I use mostly Menzerna FPII/IP, Optimum Old HC/OP (Not at all happy with the changes, I'll probably mix them in one batch), HiTemp EC / BlackfireFP.

Those polishes really cover all the compounding/polishing for non wetsanding finishes (1000 Grit On -?). Presta seems interesting, as with Sure Finish. Though those are Bodyshop polishes so I doubt they're formulated for Sun & User Friendliness.

Just wondering info on the Wool pads, though Professional products like the ones you speak of are extremely interesting.

I would get 3m or megs wool pads as they are both good quality. When it comes to rotory work, I never do in the hot sun. It makes an uneven hot surface any results may vary and should not be done. Pc work can be done in the hot sun though.

How did you like the Hi-temp extreme cut? I hear alot of people mixing with op for the pc and foam, but I am not sure how they willperform with a rotory and wool. I did try the hi-temp light cut with wool and it came out just ok, nothing spectacular. Do you have the new OP? If so how do you like it?

Don't feel old guys, I am 19 and I learned about a year and a half ago with a rotary and wool pad! I used the ones that just screw on... havent burned anything yet, but it is only a matter of time trying to go at a car with heavy marring i suppose. I did however just pick up a pc, pretty excited to go back to Cleveland to try it out during summer break!!

rydawg,

I'm considering either LC CCS Pads or Edge Pads. Can't lose for either one, just depends how much I want to shell considering I already have a backing plate. As Mobile in the hot SE Sun I have no control, though most of the time for rotary work the surface really needs heavy polishing. I find heavy paint correction via PC is a joke, totally love the rotary power and ease once you get in the groove. HT EC finishes amazing with OP, though I find it does have some added lubrication that keeps it somewhat "thick" on paint, easily correctable if you spread very very thinly and work it properly. EC/OP > BFSRC is one sweet combo setup. Not sure if I'll play more with any of the HiTemp products, more a question of abrasiveness with Pads/Rotary setup. HiTemp/TOL products are very good for the shop, but I'd rather play with a product that is used on all types of markets (Enthusiast,Shop,Professional, OEM). No I do not have the new OP, but I bet it is very good.
