    Re: New to detailing, need help

    I also found a PC polisher that comes with 5 pads. http://www.autogeek.net/hk7424.html

      Paste or liquid?
      M105/M205 is a nice combo. M105 has a slight learning curve and since you are doing spot correction UC will be more than enough. It is essentially derived from M105. Although I'm pretty sure you can pick up learning how to use M105 with some research. You could pick up an 8 oz size to try it out.

      For M26 I use liquid. I sometimes apply it by DA.

      That's a nice kit. With that kit I would go 2 orange, 2 white and 1 grey.

      How about this kit? Only thing you would need are some white polishing pads.

        Why don't you use the DA for everything? Is it better to do all correction jobs with the DA like compounding, polishing and apply wax by hand?

          The 5.5" are better than the 6.5"? That is better between CCS pads and flat pads? Also, can I use 5" backing plate with 5.5"? I read that the best for 5.5" is the 4.75" backing plate but since the kit comes with the 5" plate and 5.5" pads I should be fine....

            Sometimes I like to apply wax by hand. Also the DA can't get into every place. On a large panels like a hood, roof or doors I go with the DA. Smaller area's I do by hand.

            5.5" pads use the porter cables power better. Less rotation mass. Either pad is fine. They both work with meguiar's products really well. Yes a 5" backing plate works with 5.5" pads. The kit has everything you need.

              Just wondering if you ever made your purchase?
