Just got some pads in the mail yesterday including a orange power pad, those new technology green polishing pad, and a plain regular LC white polishing pad. The green pad is very soft! Even softer than my usual meg yellows. but the lc white pad is very stiff! it almost feels like its a...

I read a thread about it and was waiting for someone to try it out and give out a review.. its been awhile, has anyone gave it a shot yet? is it any good? im going to be ordering some tomorrow, but i dont want to order another hype product that i'll just have laying around again.

went into the store today to pick up some pads and i was talking to the guy behind the counter (owner of the store). somehow we talked about best steps to take after heavy compounding and he swears on this 2 step product: phase 1 which is glaze? polish? says it removes 1500 sandmarks and buffer...

I was looking at this guys detailing webpage and notice that he claims that "I am extremely knowledgeable on how to properly remove swirl marks. Everything is done BY HAND! No machine buffers, EVER!" You think he's really doing it by hand or hiding it? Heres the guys website.. Why...

looking for a 1 step polish to get rid of holograms and some marring via rotary. has to be sun friendly. any suggestions?

I know first hand that nissans are a ***** to work on because of the hard paint. bmw, mercedez.. anything else? is there a list somewhere?

optimum polish = the shiznitz! run it on the rotary @ 1500 rpms with a polishing pad and bye bye buffer trails, swirls, maring, etc. i hope its not hiding anything.

Today, i mixed 70/30 op + htec.. not looking for perfection as i work on dealerships cars.. it turned out pretty nice, hologram free. So, none of the holograms will come back, right? I surely hope so or else i'll be in some trouble (redoing 4 cars over).

My generic Vector buffer just broked today.. its been a nice run for about a year and i'll miss it. :cry: well worth the $90 (heard its $50 at autozone).. Anywho.. just ordered a Metabo today with 2 days delivery and pretty excited about it. my question is im is this $200+ machine reliable...

using hi-temp 61 polish, megs tan finishing pad or lc black, speed 1300 rpms. is the oil in the polish hiding some and coming back? am i not working it long enough? i usually do 2-3 passes to an area with no or very little pressure (pass in like 1 pass, not working the area till theres no...

im sometimes having trouble finishing up the car with a finishing pad and ht polish. at first, i though i was leaving additional buffer trails/holograms on the car but now im starting to think that im not getting rid of them in the first place. the hood and trunk usually turns out very good but...

i usually use a finishing pad and polish to finish up followed by spray wax.. but i was thinking.. is there a true 1-step polish/wax strong enough to get rid of buffer trails and just not hide them? i was looking at hi-temp's #69 paint perfection which claim.. "It combines Hi-Temp's top...

i know its possible to wrinkle/warp the paint on plastic easily but can it happen on metal panels if the panel gets too hot? i never had this happened before but today! i always buff out in the sun without much problems, but today i noticed 3 small areas that looked wrinkled on the door. what...

If your desperately trying to get a deeper scratch out and know your going to leave behind a lot of swirls and marring, do you guys slow the speed down at the end to save a little time with polishing? what speed should you slow it down to? Should you go slow or just normal passes since its a...
