Step up from Megs 105 & LC Orange

WhyteWizard- Thanks for clarifying, I wondered if I was somehow way off base! Interesting that you found it such a handful, did yours get too-hot-to-hold like mine did? I needed a heat-resistant glove after just a little while.



Jose206- Eh, I'm the wrong guy to ask about a one-step as I basically never do them on vehicles that actually need (any real) correction :nixweiss



MAYBE....Optimum Hyper Compound on a MF pad, but that's just a wild guess.

What's the quickest one step combo you guys can suggest if I picked up that machine again? Something that would make the majority of people happy and save me time. I hardly ever get a request for a full on paint correction...I'll have to try the meguiars pads on my next correction though accumulator



Depends on the amount of correction you want, and how hard the paint is :D For some decent correction and somthing that will finish down fairly well D300 and the MF pad is a good choice IMO.
 
Accumulator,



The Flex was the handful, the head of the makita does get hot. I put my hand on the cover, then figured out where I'd like some ridges to help me hold it and used Shoe Goo to make the grip easier. I didn't need it and I haven't modified the others i have but I gave it a shot.



Take Care,

Robert
 
I'm sorry but i didn't see any mention of using a high speed rotary, a little more speed would cut a little deeper and remove some of those finer scratches. I would recommend finishing with your DA to remove any halo-grams or swirls. The product type 105 with a yellow soft buff pad by meguiars would work well with a high speed rotary. Switch to 205 with the same rotary pad, then switch to your DA, a finishing pad, and the 205 again. The triple step system will leave your car virtually flawless.
 
Surbuf, Rayon and OPT Microfibre cutting or polishing pads are the way to go today for correction work

use foam afterwards if you wish for the finishing and jewelling work
