A newbie's take on the G110.
Well after mastering the art of detailing by hand I broke down and invested in the G110 as you guy's already know. 
I finally got to test her out on Friday, did a 50/50 on the hood of my ambulance and I'm quite pleased on the outcomes.
With this hood I did 3 passes with the M105 and followed up with NXT 2.0. I do believe this rig has some hard paint as I was only able to do maybe 75% correction. Just toying around with it and I'm not going to use the 105 on the whole rig as it's too pricey. My thoughts are to use DC1 or SwirlX and follow up with UC on the more significant defects before applying NXT as my LSP, how does that sound?
Yesterday I was able to work on my wifes black Focus. All I have to say is WOW! One pass with the 105 and there was a significant difference in swirl reduction! My process on the Focus was 3 to 4 passes with the 105 on speed 5 and 6 (I know 6 is not recommended but it's like the forbidden fruit!) using medium to heavy pressure. Followed that up with 2 passes of 205 (105/205 primed useing the KBM, also mist the surface using QD before wiping with SS) using a yellow pad on 3 and LSP of NXT, 2 passes on 3, buffing out with a UW towel. I cleaned the pads on the fly after 2 to 3 passes.
Swirls are GONE! Most of the RIDS are still there, not noticible until you put some light on them. Got around to doing 105 on the front left quarter panel and drivers door and again the majority of the swirls are gone but the RIDS are still there. I'm thinking that they are to deep for the G110 to correct. Possible candidate for wetsanding and rotary (not by me....at least for now!)?
I didn't have too much of a problem with marring, I did notice some on the hood that I was able to buff out using the UW with a bit more passion. But then again the sky's were pretty much overcast yesterday.
As far as the G110 goes, I'm in love. Being that this is the first time I used a machine to detail I now I still have loads to learn. I guess my only gripe is that the speed dial could be placed in a more convinent place, I don't think theres a better place for it though.
Some questions.
How long does a pad typically last?
How long do you work 105/205 in? I was working about a minute each pass.
Is it common for 105/205 to dust up?
How often do you prime the pads?
Thanks for reading guy's
BTW No pics 'cause the camara charger went awol. Wifey must have found it this morning since it's now plugged in! Also I do believe that my detailing illness is now offically terminal!
