  1. Hey AJ,

     

    Received my order a couple of days ago. Got to work today with a 2 bucket wash. (The wash pad, shampoo, drying towel, all were awesome. It made it so much easier to wash my car.)

     

    Anyway, I used clay bar on the hood (it needed it). I then began with the PC and SHR with the orange pad on a small section to test it. I did several passes and looked at the pad. To my disappointment I saw red on the pad. (My car is red. 2000 Celica GTS.) I buffed the SHR off, and moved to the white pad and white product. I checked and there was red on this pad too. I wasn't pressing hard and I had the PC on like 3500 or 4000. I was pretty bummed, I didn't even try the gray pad with gray product. I couldn't take one more red pad at that point.

     

    Any words of wisdom here? The car has swirls. Will I kill the paint if I continue? I can't believe this car wouldn't have any clear coat on it. The paint is shiny.

     

    If I can't use it on that car it's not a total loss. I have an 08 xB that I am sure I can use it on. I am just at a loss now regarding my red car.

     

    :(

     

     

     

     

    Well Adam you have a Toyota that does not have a clear coat that why you have red paint on the pad. THe way you were going is the way to fix the scratches but i cant really tell you what to do from here because i have never dealed with a toyota. SO this is were Aj or someone else will need to chime in

  2. TOday subject was a 2007 Ford Fusion. Couldnt get all the scratches i wanted to out. But i couldnt work on the car for 4 days to get it close as possibly. BUt i think it turned out good. enjoy

  3. Just one observation from reading this thread, I think Jarrett is a witch. He is putting his MF in a dryer and it still looks good !!!! Lets tie a big rock to him and throw him in the well. If he sinks and dies then all is forgiven :D

     

    But if he floats we need to run like hell cause he's a witch and he's going to turn us all into turtle wax users :willy::willy::willy:

     

     

     

     

     

     

    PS

    Did I mention I screwed up my back yesterday and am heavily medicated :D

     

     

    Bill,

     

    I think i need to take over you position till you get better.

  4. I have a 1980 corvette with the stock aluminum rims that are in bad shape after sitting for about 8 years!!!

     

    What do guys and girls think? will the metal polish work on them?? :willy:

     

     

    IF they are not clear coated which i would not think they are. then the mp will do wonders for them. but just to make sure post some pic and we can tell ya

  5. I personally like the 5" weight... its functional for both sets of pads and keeps me from having to swap weights when I swap backing plates and pads. The 6" is too big for the 4" setup IMO, causes excessive vibration and makes it hard to control the machine in tight spots.

     

    The only drawback is slightly more vibration when using the large pads, but not enough to really justify changing it, at least for my own peronal use.

    :thumbsup:
