Time for a rotary?

I think #9 has it's place I like that it's completely safe, I do find it has more cutting ability than the meg's deep crystal polish. Now that stuff is just oil I mean no correction whatsoever. #9 is just enough to finish off a good job with m105, I did the alcohol test and none of the marks taken off with the #9 came back. I wouldn't want to follow up something as aggressive as m105 with something like #83 since it finishes so well already. I suppose you could do with #2 but I like the shine that #9's oils put on paint, plus it doesn't seem to fade.
 
Accumulator where did you find 3.5" PFW for the DA?



I've gotten some pretty serious damage out with a PC, 4 inch Edge pads (LC work good too but I like the centering of the Edge better) and the right products. It just takes time, and that is definitely no understatement lol.
 
Okay so what I have available right now is:



Porter Cable 7424



Menzerna Intensive Polish

Menzerna Micro Polish

Menzerna FMJ



CCS Yellow Pad

CCS White Pad

CCS Blue Pad



How should I use these? Which pad should be used with which polish for best results? I imagine the yellow with the Intensive Polish, white with Micro Polish, and white with the FMJ, but I could be wrong... and is the Mothers clay bar over the counter sufficient enough? I noticed the body shop left a significant amount of overspray on my passengers side rear quarter...

IIRC I got 'em from AutoGeek. Can't remember *where* I got the little 2.75" backing plate though :confused: There's simply no way for me to overstate how impressed I was with that (3.5" PFW) on the PC, and I wasn't even using something like M105 (though my 1Z Pasta Intensiv isn't exactly mild stuff either).



sixfiveoh- I'd have the bodyshop remove the overspray and hope they don't really mess things up in the process. IMO the Mother's clay will quite possibly be too mild to remove it...some b/c overspray fuses with the underlying paint and requires wetsanding. Seriously, I'd address this with the shop before you start your detail.



But yeah...aggressive pads go with aggressive products, mild pads go with mild products.
