The state where football is..., well this year it was depressing...
Just a pure amateur who will gladly try to learn from those more experienced.
Over 35 years ago, I worked in a full service gas station and did make ready clean-up on used cars for a nearby dealership. Since then, I have tried to keep my cars always looking good. I used to hand compound with the old red and white paste compounds and I had a low speed rotary buffer with a wool bonnet for polishing up after a good coat of wax.
Every 5-10 years I decide to learn a bit more and try to upgrade my tools and knowledge and now the internet is making that much easier and quicker.
I've been using clay followed by Klasse AIO and Glaze and then Hi Tech Yellow for a number of years now but with three new dark cars in the last year, most recent being black, I decided its time to get more into swirl removal and polishing.
Bought a g110v2 and a starter set of Lake Country pads and added some products to my shelf - nothing too dangerous I think - and am ready to start practicing on the oldest cars first. I plan to start with very light polishes and work up to more aggressive ones (not all in the same place, I think) to start to get a feel for how each works and what results are.
I've done pretty good at spot work on light scratches and even on applying touch-up paint with fine wet sanding by hand in the past so I'm looking forward to having the current array of vehicles looking really fine, pretty soon.
I know I'll need to get a few more aggressive pads and maybe a smaller backing plate but I think I have enough to start getting used to the g110v2 for now.
Thanks in advance to all here.
