What am I doing wrong? Need Expert advice...

Thanks Accumulator. I always appreciate your feedback.



M105 has been enough for me and all of my daily drivers. I have experienced a few paint defects on my vehicles that I didn't get out with the 105 and a 4" yellow pad, and when that happens I just shine them up and call it good enough. After all, they're just daily drivers, not show cars.



However, for the most part, the 105 / 4" yellow combination cleans things up well enough for my not-so-trained eye.



If I ever need them, I also have a couple of new 4" PFW pads that I'm saving for whatever doosey comes my way on my truck (my pride and joy).



And when you mentioned that M105 wasn't all that aggressive, I thought maybe you knew of another compound I could add to my reserve PC arsenal. Its nice to know I have more aggressive approaches available to me, even though I may never choose to use them.

Different experience here. Even on my softer-paint vehicles, I just can't get correction via ~6" pads on the PC :nixweiss



For me, it's a matter of getting the job done in a remotely reasonable period of time; the 4" pads cover less ground, but at least they do cut, which is more that I can say about the larger ones. Just IME though, sounds like you and I have vastly *differing* experiences, so it's not some right/wrong issue.



I do reach for the Flex as opposed to using the 4" pads on the PC, but that's just because I *have* the Flex

I think that really is the key here. I guess if I only had a PC I would be more open to using them. :hifive:
