    scratchX question

    can I use scratchX on polishing pad and finishing pad to refine medium cutting pad with UC?

    another question, if I am using scratchX on medium cutting pad, do i need to use polishing pad or finishing pad to refine the polish?

    I am going to start my first DA polishing project this weekend.
    Please give me some pointer.

    what to be careful and what not to do.
    I have read the thread how to use DA and clean pad on the fly etc.

    but still need some great pointers!

    thanks,
    Steve

    Are you sure you need to jump right to UC? (may have been discussed in another thread, but still a big first jump.)

    It would be fine to have SwirlX/#205 and UC on your shelf, I wouldnt worry about ScratchX personally.

      Re: scratchX question

      I am talking about just if.
      I would test scratchX on medium cutting pad first.
      but again, it is a 93 VW POLO which had never been polished before.
      therefore I was thinking UC to even begin with.

      so after UC? do i have to follow up a scratchX with polishing pad?

        I would just worry about SwirlX and UC, wouldnt worry about ScratchX.

        UC could finish out perfect, or could leave a little marring. Never know until you try.

        If it does need followed up, you would want SwirlX on a polishing pad.

          Agreed. Of course, do a quick side by side with SwirlX on a polishing pad and a finishing pad. Depending on how your paint reacts, one may well give you a better finish than the other.

            I am new to this.
            I have only one of each 5.5 inch medium cutting, polishing and finishing pads. and one of each 4 inch medium cutting, polishing and finishing pads.

            I think 1 pad should be enough for a 93 Polo hatch.
            I think if I good cleaning on the fly every section.
            It should be fine.
            I would other some more pads down the road. But I don't think I would at the moment!
