Just noticed that the new MF Polishing and Cutting Pads are now available on the Optimum Store site. 6.25" in stock, smaller sizes in a couple of days.

What speed on a Groits DA is recommended for applying POXY????

I think I've read every post regarding using UNO correctly and am about to try it out later this week. I'm new to machine polishing and will be using a GG6 with a 5" backing plate and 5.5" Buff and Shine Orange, Green and Red pads (I believe these are the same foam as 3D pads without the black...

Why is it that 3D only offers 3 pads (mild cutting Orange, Polishing Green and Finishing Red) while others offer those as well as White, Blue and Grey/Black?

Trying to guage which size UNO/Poxy to purchase--16 OZ ONO/8 OZ Poxy or 32/16. I know everything is dependent on the paint/condition etc and that a little goes a long way, but--will be polishing my two cars which are in pretty good shape plus 2 others that will need a little more work. I just...

If you're going to wash then clay a vehicle is it necessary to strip any existing sealants chemically before beginning to polish with UNO??

In a previous post Accumulator mentioned "I can't imagine ever using yellow foam cutting pads with the GG polisher" A Newbie to Machine polishing questions: Why wouldn't you use a Yellow Foam Cutting Pad with a RO like the GG6?? Could you use a 4" Yellow with a GG6 for just spot...

Which 3D APC is recommended for wax/sealant removal from painted surfaces?

Thank you all for the wealth of great information posted regarding size, color, cutting ability and how many of each to purchase regarding foam pads, but not much is posted about the actual design of pads. I’m confused as to which design would be best as a newbie to machine polishing using UNO...

The primary car I will be working on is my 2007 VW Passat (Granite Green-light grey/green) that is in very good shape. Only light marring from 5 years of hand washing. Am I wasting time/money even considering the 3D Green pad (or LC White Flat pad) since the VW clear is very hard? Should I...

Is it safe for someone new to machine polishing to use the Lake Country flat pads since they are only 7/8" thick????

I’m beginning to believe detailing is an obscure form of OCD. I few years ago when I took an early retirement I switched from Zaino products to DG as they were less expensive and I could buy them locally to avoid shipping charges. Now I’ve gone and bought a GG6 kit from Amazon during...

Just getting into Machine Polishing and have a question re masking. I'm assuming I should mask all chrome, plastic, rubber and textured surfaces, but do I need to mask raised painted surfaces such as body side moldings painted the same as the car and body parts painted black such as window...

Looking for a good detailer in the Pittsburgh, PA area for routine detailing as well as correction work. Thanks!

---for a great detailing tip. Last week I put on a coat of DG105, but didn't have time the next day to throw on a coat of Aquawax. This week when I did an ONR wash I put an ounce of Aquawax as you suggested in one of your posts (although the suggestion was for OCW). Worked like a...

How does the durability of HD Poxy compare with other sealants such as ZAIO, Z2 and DG105?

Has anyone out there heard of Xzilon? It's a product a Honda dealer is trying to sell to my brother for his new Civic.

If applying DG 601 and 105 with a DA what color pad would be recommended??

What is the durability like with DG AquaWax? I've been using OCW on top of ZCS as a booster with about 2-3 months before it starts to loose it's slickness and was thinking of giving AW a try.
