    I`m inclined to buy a white pad and just cut it up in smaller blocks as opposed to those *ccs hand applicators* which is still to large to get into the shallow area with the door handle in my way anyhow.

    I use the little, round, yellow Meguiar`s hand applicators to get into tight areas. They are about 4" in diameter, and are flexible enough to get into areas like that.

    Dependant on what polish you`re using with.....does it have enough cut with a regular foam pad ?

    I either use M105 or ScratchX with them in those type areas. I have had good luck.

    Thanks. I was planning to use 1Z Paint Polish...which would be my hand polish of choice.

    Interesting....may just have to try hand polish with the 105. ScratchX I have not used in years...but if I recall, it`s a great hand polish as well

    Or 1Z Ultra/Extra. Something with a lot of cut, and terry, is the way to go for the initial passes. IMO/IME the 1Z PP is a good choice for the *second* step, but not aggressive enough to do the bulk of the work in a reasonable time..well, depending on how hard your clear is.



    Bence- I`ve never tried the H-T EC by hand..breaks down OK huh?

    Accumulator, yes, it breaks down pretty quickly, especially when the hand movements are fast. The 1Z is also a good choice; I`m using it quite frequently.

    Bence- OK, thanks for the confirmation. Guess it shouldn`t be a big surprise as the H-T EC works OK via PC/etc. and anything that`ll work by PC should work by hand.



    How does the Pasta Intensiv (sp?) compare to the Ultra/Extra?
