9007 vs 9207

[Alexandre]

Is there a big difference in practice btw 9007 and 9207 foam pads, when it comes to wax and seal the paint?

Re: 9007 vs 9207

When using a D/A you shouldn't notice much of a difference, although the W9207 black pad is slightly softer than the tan W9006 pad. Of course, the W9207 can be machine washed and dried, the W9006 pad should not be cleaned this way.

There have been some cases where the W9006 pad would skip a bit when used with a rotary buffer, so with that tool the W9207 is a better choice.

9007: 6.5" diameter. Peach colored
9207: 7" diameter. Newer 2.0 pad with self centering feature. Can be machine washed. Charcoal or black in color.

Re: 9007 vs 9207

Oh, I ask because I just order the G110v2 on ebay and tehre were not the new 2.0 foam pads, neither the w9206/w9207, so I got 3 w9006 foam pads and 1 w8006, since it d be much chipper than getting them in here. I paid U$10 dollars each, it d be U$35 each in Brazil, so in the future I might consider getting the w92007 here.

Now I am all excited, though I got wait 2 or 3 eks to get here

Re: 9007 vs 9207

I am think of using M83 and 105 with w8006. But what if I use w7000 instead?

That's a very aggressive combination. The 7006 is a cutting pad, and M105 is a pure compound with the most cut of any Meguiars polish. For regular swirled paint, it's a little too much.

The stiffness and density of the 7006 pad will create more work for you by causing micro-marring, which means you will likely have to go back and re-polish the paint with M205, SwirlX or M80 applied with a polishing pad.

M83 is far less aggressive, but like M105 it is a primary compound that usually needs to be followed up with an application of a polish/cleaner (usually M80, but M205 will work here as well). Are you working with extremely hammered paint?

Oh really? I thought it wasn't advisable to machine dry the SB2.0 pads, this is news to me!

Guess I'll have to try it with a sacrificial pad -- I've been air drying them all along like I've always done with the older SB pads.

What about the w8006, is it too strong?

Re: 9007 vs 9207

No, cars with good paint, but with lots of haze and swirl marks. Now look, I plan to use these products with the D/A:

M83 - W8006
NXT 2.0 - W9006 or a W9207 that I already have
M26 - W9006

Which to use with these:

Cleaner Wax - ?????
205 - ?????

That's a polishing pad, the same pad used by probably 90% by most folks here 90% of the time. If you have light to moderate swirls, I would still suggest starting off with something milder than M105. Do a test spot with M205 or M80 and see how it works for you. If you need to move up to something stronger, like a compound, you can try M83 or consider using Ultimate Compound (if you can get it in Brazil).

M105 should probably be your last option. It's a great product and I know a lot of people here use the M105/M205 combo to great effect, but remember the MOL motto to use the least aggressive method to achieve your goals. It's sound advice that will help preserve the life of your paint.

I don' t have 105, not yet, I am just curious to get and try it, but, well, Ultimate Compound I did import it on eBay, it may be in a few weeks.

I' ve been trying to get swirls marks out of a car and I couldn' t get them off all by hand, but I got rid of 80% of them, just using 205, so I guess that ' ll be my first trial.
