    Help with Pads

    Beginner Polishes and Pads

    Hi all, I just purchased my first "good" orbital buffer, the Griot`s BOSS G15. If anyone would be so kind as to provide some basic advice to a beginner, it`d be greatly appreciated :D I have done some reading, and it seems a couple very good All-in-One products are 3D HD Speed and Klasse AIO...

    Metrovac Vac N Blo or Shop Vac

    GG6 vs. Boss G15

    Looking for some advice on what my first-ever dual action polisher should be. The primary role of the machine would be to lay down waxes and sealants. I`ve heard great things about the Griot`s 6" random orbital (GG6), however another Autopian says I should seriously consider the Boss G15. I`m...

    New Member, Noob "Detailer", and Some Questions...

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here. :) I`ve been reading threads here, on other forums, and watching YouTube demonstrations on how to property detail cars. Needless to say, it`s been eye opening, as I`ve done pretty much everything wrong since I was a child. The only towels I`ve ever...
