China Freight DA + BlackFire = POP!!!!

[XxBoostinxX]

I think you or Seer should make a video of how you guys detail your cars. Seriously. I have a Griot's 6" random, but I'm too afraid to use it. Never have before. Always done it by hand...

Don't be! I've never used one till a little over a year ago when I bought my Flex 3401. A friend that is an extremely good buffer gave me some pointers and had a lot of confidence in me. So I said screw it and went to town on my Black Saleen and never looked back. Go watch a bunch of YouTube videos and get some tips. I think you have it in you!

Haha, thanks man. I'll give it a try. Maybe I'll practice on my pickup truck first before going to town on my black mustang.

using a DA is pretty easy and safe even for the beginner.

That's what my friend kept telling me. I was so scared I was gonna burn my paint and I don't think I ever came close.

Not reading the whole thread.. this da will work for a beginner, got that. Just get the polishing pads, and which one for applying a sealant? Going try a wash, clay bar, wash, finishing polish, sealant and wax detail.. is that the right process?? What do people recommend for polish and sealant that won't break the bank?? Wax? For a silver stang, low mileage and always in garage.

use the hydrotech pads.

Cyan for compounds/medium polishes (Megs 105 etc)
Tangerine for polishes (M205)
Crimson for sealants, glazes, liquid waxes etc

I've been working on my 5.0 with CG Products. I have around 6 hours into the compounding using these products and pad... I swapped to a blue pad for the 38.

I plan on continuing with the polishes tonight, then glaze and sealant.

I just picked up a China Freight DA as well Gonna take a jab at my black car before I get rid of it and see just how well it works. If SEER sees this I could use some assistance in picking up some quality pads and chemicals. I'm looking to get rid of small scratches, swirls marks, and then ultimately polish, seal, wax, etc the car up to have her looking absolutely FLAWLESS

Recomendations? Essentially I"m starting at all I have is a DA and going from there with my purchase. Wash recomendations, compound recomendations, pad recomendations, all of that is welcome.

All you need is in the sticky in the procedure for race red. Same thing goes for black.

Buy some hydrotech cyan, tangerine and crimson pads

Cyan for heavy cut like M105
Tangerine for polishes like M205
Crimson for finishing polishes like M205 as well or PO85RD and sealant application.

Seer is right, the sticky for race red works well.

I have a few added steps and a higher grade wax involved in mine though, but nonetheless it works.

 

[Seer]

^^ it works for any color.

Seer,

Do you not like the CG pads? The hex ones or whatever?

 

[808muscle]

There are some great YouTube videos showing how to use a DA polisher. Watching a couple for the pc7424 is what convinced me to buy one.

They werent bad. Just based on older foam technology. Hydrotechs are newer.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I have had better and faster results using the Lake Country Hydro-Tech pads over the Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Series

Hydrotech 5.5 Pads FTW, best control imo..
