Today, I tried the rotary polisher for the first time. It was actually not so difficult as I thought. I was using a Vector polisher, finger pads from Lake Country, and 3M rubbing compound and SMR. I started with 1000 rpm, then all the way to 2000rpm. Only one spot got paint burn at the side...

It seems most people here use pads from CMA. I found 3M backing plate and pads at a local store, about $36 for the backing plate (05717), and about $15 for compound and polish pad each. It sounds like on the pricy end. Anyone here has for or against experience with these 3M stuff? Thanks a lot.

I will need a circular polisher next week. I'd like to rent one for a day or two. Is there anywhere I can get one around Boston metro are? I am in Arlington. Thanks a lot in advance.

Recently, I used several cleaning stuff on my wheels and engine compartment, both of them are pretty nasty. I tried EF Hi-Intensity, Sonus Gel Wheel, P21S Total Auto Wash. All of them worked in certain degree, but none took all the grease and dust, even with quite a scratch. Meanwhile, I was...

I have been using Klasse without wax and QDing with Sonus for my car, and result so far is very pleasing. My only concern is the washing before QDing. I found P21S very effective when I wash the car before applying Klasse, but P21S seems strip Klasse (AIOx1, SGx2) a bit when I use it for weekly...

Any hint on where can I get cheap polyclay bar? CMA only supply 3-bar package, which is much more than what I need. If some one know local dealer at Dallas TX area, it will be even better. Thank you very much!

Hi all: I just found this wonderful site not long ago and this is the first time I post question here, please bear with me if my questions sound boring. I have read a lot about Klasse and Zaino at this site but still have some questions, I hope to have some insights before I place the...
