I finally got around to trying out my new GG polisher yesterday. I used 105/205 combo using CG Hex Orange pad (4") as well as Buff&Shine yellow pad (5") for the 105. For the 205, I used a CG green (5") pad. I then glazed with CG glaze using a Buff&Shine blue pad. Finally, I applied a...

I received my shiny new GG polisher last week. I still did not receive my pads though. I changed the backing plates and tried installing both the 3.5" and 5" plates. There is one glitch though: When I went to install the other plates, I could not remove the wrench from the nut after...

Is this a good idea? Or is it better to polish with a yellow pad with some plastx and then follow it up with orange pad? Just looking at alternatives to wet sanding and products like diamondite....

Just ordered a GG polisher and wanted to know what is the best value in a polish. I'm looking to remove swirls on some cars and just polish out newer cars. Is the 105/205 combo the best value? It seems it gets good reviews, although some say it does dry and dust a bit. I've also read that it...

I just ordered the GG polisher and LC ccs pads (both 4" and 5.5"). But I'm reading that some ppl prefer the flat pads. So should I switch to flat? Also, the Hydro Edge pads also seem to be popular, but I was told they are for water-based polishes only. Can they also be used with products...

Is it good to use as a compound to smooth out touche-upped areas? Or should I get a fine grit rubbing compound?

Hi. First of all I'd like to say that I really enjoy reading on this forum. I'm not a pro at detailing but I've always enjoyed working on detailing cars since I was a kid. I currently worked on my dads' suv, he has a 2002 acura mdx (gold color). It still looks new. It has got a few swirls...

The nozzles seem kinda long for the 16oz bottles. Do you cut them or will it bend in?

Just received my clay bar and lube from Chemical Guys. The bar is listed as 4 oz (113g). They say you can do about 10 cars with it (although they give you enough spray for 4 cars). I read somewhere that it's good to cut the clay bar in a few sections so that you use each section per car...

Anyone tried this?

Car: Pontiac Pursuit, purchased 1 year ago. It's been waxed 3 times with a Car Groom professional wax containing pure carnauba. Paint is in new condition. I'm looking to protect it better for the winter though. This is what I'm planning: wash clay wash again glaze (Extreme shine EZ)...
