I am getting ready to buy a DA polisher and pads. Im also going to need a backing plate and need to know the recommended size backing plate to get for it. I have read alot on here and have decided to go with the FLEX 3401 DA so ill need to know what to get for that polisher. As far as this is concerned, I am going to buy supplies for it and I got this so far
Lake Country Backing Plate System - allows you to use pads ranging 4' to 6'5"
Lake Country Hybrids 5" - Orange Pad (Cut), White Pad (Polish), Black Pad (Finish - wax/sealants)
CarPro IronX
CarPro Eraser
Nanoskin Clay Pad
Menzerna FG400 (Compound)
Menzerna SF4000 (Polish)
I bought some Chemical guys blacklight last year and never used it. Id like to use it so it doesnt go to waste and need to know when to apply it after I go through this process on my car.
Im also looking to get try some new products. I have been using chemical guys glassworks on my windows. I like it for the most part..... until it gets cold outside and the windows fog over. I see there is still some product left over on the windows that I cant see after ive cleaned the car. I always use two rags to clean with when using it. I use one side of the rag to apply the product and flip it to the dry side to wipe off the leftover. Then I use my second rag as a "buffer" to "polish" it off. I also dilute down the product as instructed so I should be fine there. Anyone have tips or recommendations on a better product for windows?
I have the same issue with tire shine. I normally use meguirs NXT 2.0 or the newer to me product, Meguiars Ultimate Black. I usually spray it on and let it sit for a bit and buff it off with a rag. My problem is that it always goes away within two or three days. What can I do differently or is there a good product that I can use from say autoality or another vendor that works better and lasts longer?
Lastly, I have an issue with my trim. Specifically in the cowl area on my car. It is turning white and hazing over under the windshield wipers. What can I do to prevent it in the future? Also, what can I use that will work good on it and good on my Roush Rear side splitters? Those stupid things fade in about a day after touching them.
Pics for reference.
I appreciate anyones time and input on this. I know its alot to take in at once but I know we have some great guys here and alot of knowledge tied up into this trade.
With all this in mind I am willing to spend about $600 maybe $700 on this initially and add to it as I go.
