Need Help On New Polishes Please

[jordanrossbell]

Hey guys...did a big correction detail about a month ago and was very disappointed that i didnt remove some of the swirls/light scratches i had...to make a long story short i am looking for a new setup that is a little tougher on these issues....last detail was with Meg`s 80 and 9 on a lake country green and white pad..respectively....here is my question



What are yalls opinions on the Pinnacle XMT line...my order would be 3 and 1



vs.



Poorboys SSR3 and then use 80 to clean that up....



I am currently using the lake country 6.5 CCS pads..however i am looking for just the flat foam..not the VC huge pads though..am i making any sense? How are the low profile 5.5 inch pads...think 6 could get through a full size truck with the above polishes? All feedback is appreciated..thanks!

Get a rotary............



Change your technique...........



Many things go into the process of removing defects and from your description I`m not sure of what you are doing. Amount of defect, depth, type of paint, how you work the polish.....



My favorite polishes/compounds are Menzerna



I`m sure if you post pictures, descriptive techniques more of us can give you our WIDE variety of opinions.



cheers,

I totally agree, get a rotary and some Menzerna and learn how to properly use it.

Yep. But if you dont feel like doing that. Id take PB over XMT. However, if you`d prefer XMT, Ive got some for sale.

Just in case you`re not planning to go the rotary route:



I haven`t tried the PB or the XMT, so I can`t comment on them. But #80 (let alone #9, which won`t do much/any correction unless used by rotary) is a rather mild product, especially when used with a 6-6.5" pad.



The only way I can do significant correction via PC is with 4" pads, and they will do quite a bit- I`ve even corrected hard Audi clear with them (although it sure took a while, ages longer than with the rotary).



Get *something* more aggressive than the #80 and some 4" pads, or start considering a rotary, or at least a Flex.

Check into the Menzerna products.

For right now i will have to stick with my PC, but where can i order some 4" pads..i like this idea...i havent heard anything about the low profile 5.5" inch pads...i assume the 4" are better for correction...will you please let me know where i can order some? Thanks!

You can use a 4" pad but I bet you`ll have to change the backing plate to use the 4" pads. The lowprofile pads are pretty darn good with a PC, working the correct polish with them will help you for now.
