    Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

    Anyone have the velcro backing system torn from the cutting pad? I only used it twice but today the pad just flew off my Griot DA, speed when used was at 4.

        Is the W-64DA backing plate appropriate for the 5" pads?

          Yes, that will be fine - it's just our older, multi piece backing plate.

            My 2 cents worth:

            Works fine, pleased with the results, only had one compounding pad come apart as mentioned in another post (included my thoughts of why it did so). Cant beat the clean up with air, and the price for the polish is very reasonable, Although as suspected I did have to revert back to foam pads and 105/205 on some corrections that the micro just would not correct.

            Overall Happy with results, saves time and product on them 2/3 step corrections, still have to bring the big guns out for the 5 step corrections though, which is to be expected.

            Good job developing.

                I finally got my hot little hands on this system today and tomorrow I have just the vehicle to try it out on. Adventador here I come... (umm... must admit I tried a couple of test spots with the system this afternoon on a couple of vehicles. I'm not really brave enough to test it cold on a Lamborghini)

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                    I must say I'm impressed with the system, Ideally I'd have liked to have spent a bit more time working with it before ripping into such a car with it but I figure sometimes the opportunity is too good to pass up.
                    One thing I have to say is that I hope the finish is actually as good as it looked under lights today because the car is off to the Melbourne (Australian) Motor Show in a week or so and I didn't get a chance to check it under natural light outside.
                    There was quite a lot of damaged paintwork around it, mostly from shipping and things rubbing against it. I guess it's had a lot of people admiring it so some wear and tear was bound to occur.
                    Some areas were really quite bad especially around the doors. Goodness knows what had caused this but it was actually really deep.



                    The DA system seemed to make a pretty nice job of it though and the customers were very happy with the finished result. It's difficult to say how much time it saved over the older methods as cars like this always take a long time but it seemed very efficient and I loved having no sling or dust to contend with afterwards.


                    I can't flood the internet with photos, as I don't want to upset my customers but I'll put a couple of shots up because these cars are a detailers dream. There are reflective surfaces bouncing off in every direction and lost of hard edges so it's also the perfect vehicle for a system such as the DA system.

                    The bonnet alone has about 10 different angles going on.


                    As does the back, there are lots of areas where the 3" pads are very useful but I found I was able to get at most areas quite well with the 6" and my Makita. The panels are mostly pretty flat but theres a lot of edges. Anyone who ever suggested that these cars are a bit boring just hadn't seen one yet.

                    Last shot because I just cant resist. This is an incredible car and I hope to be able to do a full write up on one of them some time soon.


                    Oh I've got to say I LOVE the new DA Wax, 1 Pass wipedown is awesome. Stage 2 was wiped off clean on this car in about 4 minutes.
                    Ultimate wax finished it off.

                      are the recommended speed settings 4800 (4) and 3800 (3) on the Megs DA the same as the CP DA settings of 4 and 3?

                        I thought the Aventador was still a concept car? Was it in NZ for a car show or something? You're a lucky man for getting to work on it...

                              That car was flown to NZ for the official launch tonight, it will be on display for a few days after the official unveiling so that thay can take orders before it heads of to Melbourne in a week or so.
                              I heard we have a few arriving for customer delivery in a month or so and that we'll probably be asked to ensure they look the part for their new owners before delivery. Exciting times.

                              Working with the DA system today (on a Toyota Yaris - yes a world apart from the Lambo) and I really came to understand that it is a system where less really is more. It is so easy to use too much product and the system really doesn't like it when you do. I found that the pad clogged up and bounced around a lot as soon as I overloaded it but workd great when I cleaned it out again. It's a bit counter-intuitive but a small amount of product actually does a lot more correcting.
                              Not having to clean up dust etc.. saves so much time and extra work - I love it
