Hi guys, I've tried the Makita 9227c and im getting the hang of it. We are now considering buying one for detailing our own cars as i've always detailed by hand and with a random orbital, so it is very difficult for me to do some correction on some of our older cars. I understand the whole detailing process, including claying, compounding, polishing, lsp, etc and the last thing i need to learn are pad combinations. The problem is, i am on a tight budget so i can probably only buy 3 pads first at the moment. Here are my questions:
1. Once i buy a brand new makita 9227c, what backing plate will i need so that i can put Lake Country pads? Our local dealer only sells different colors of the Large sized LC pads, and only a yellow foam cutting pad for medium size. What size of backing plates should i be looking for? what adapter stuff?
2. i sometimes see this ad here of someone selling 6 inch Kompressor Pads. how are these?
3. i can only initially afford 3 of them. so what is the 3 super all around combo you recommend?
Yellow White Black? or Orange White Black? I will be using Meg's UC and Swirl X for compounds, then finish with Klasse AIO and SG, topped with Meg's Quik Wax
4. Is a Wool pad a must as well?
5. What Pad should i use for PlastX? Should i stick with UC for plastics?
6. Should i add Ultimate Polish to my regime? UC, Swirlx, UP?
7, Do i really have to buy 105/205 pro grade products? this stuff is expensive and hard to find where i am. Mother's detailing shop in our country actually uses and sells the brand "Mark V" compounds. are they any good? they all come in professional/non consumer looking bottles though!
