As a PC newbie, I would suggest this:

1) PC 7336 or 7336Sp from International Tool - I got this and it is good.

2) The Velcro pad and 2 white pads from CMA only - buy them separately as the total kit includes things you will never need. Actually, get the velcro, 2 white pads and a microfiber pad. It s a better value than the whole kit which I got.

Should I get the 5" or 6" velcro pad? Will white pads work good with the following? Or will I need a yellow pad as well to use first?

I plan on using some:

3MÃ¢â€ž¢ Finesse-ItÃ¢â€ž¢ II

Meguiars #9 II swirl remover

On my 540 to get some scratches/swirls out and on a friends black Grand Prix to get some bad swirls out.

Will use Zaino after that. Of course we must dawn again to get the oils off the finish, prior to zaino.

I think it would be better to get the kit. The only thing you won`t really use are the cotton terry bonnets. I did have someone tell me he uses them to buff his tires. I`m going to be trying them soon to buff off rain-X

You can`t just get the microfiber pad. You need a wool pad to go underneath it also.

I just purchased the PC7336sp from International Tool and was very happy with the transaction. It was confusing that the 7336sp was cheaper than the 7336, which doesn`t include as many accessories as the 7336sp.

Good luck with your PC.

That depends on what you want to do with the machine. But, you will certianly need a velcro backing plate. You can get them from a number of places online, or you can try a local auto paint supply house.

I would say your basic pad set should include: a few polishing pads, a cutting pad (foam), and a lambswool pad. Those pads are the basics you will need for swirl removal. That is basically the minimum you will need. If you plan on using the machine for anything different than that you will need more pads.

Yep, I`m back for another round of Q&A on my wheels. So for Nick and others who do trucks, even after scrubbing with a yellow bug scrubber and P21S I have brake dust on the wheels (chrome plated part). Will claybar remove it or do I need to break out some metal polish at this point (folks have warned me away from Megs W

? TIA!

**imported_detailchick** · 05-01-2011, 01:08 PM

It depends on how much brake dust but yes go with a metal polish and if that doesn do it break out the steel wool.

I like using steel wool wet with plenty of car soap, that way you dont breathe any of the particles or get it on the paint.

0000 Steel Wool always works for me on my DD which is a Ford Sport Trac and it has factory chrome rims . The brake dust gets in bedded into them so easy it`s scary . I use the steel wool wet using and good wheel cleaner as mentioned .

**bmw5541** · 05-02-2011, 11:04 AM

You could use the #0000 steel wool with metal polish. It works well.

**grungy** · 05-02-2011, 05:00 PM

Thanks guys! I`ll try the 0000 steel wool later in the week (need to get some) with some ONR as lube. I have some pics I`ll post of before during and after once I get it to the final product.
