  • never used a DA, tired of hand detailing

    advice? tips? sorry if this post is noobish, but that is what i am at least on this board...i love working with my hands but not when i feel like i'm going to develop a case of carpal tunnel after simply applying one coat of NXT, i guess to make a long question short, which of the products would be best for someone with NO machine detailing experience but in the year i've had my car i've done it all by hand

    Here are a bunch of links to start you with.... The products are the same, but the new machine is called the G110 and there are new washable pads to use.

    Rotary vs. PC vs. Regular Orbital Buffer

    Recommended Products - G100a Dual Action Polisher

    Using the G-100 to remove swirls with the Professional Line

      Head on over to ADS and check out the G110 package.

      Are you looking to do paint correction or simply to apply/remove wax?

        well, it would initially be to apply wax/polish, to eventually graduate to SLIGHT paint correction like hairline scratches and things of that nature

          If it's in the budget I would go with the G110. That will give you room to grow.

          There is also I training DVD for the G100 but will still work with the G110. When I first started out I bought the DVD and watched it before I even ordered my G100. Really helped to get me started on the right foot as well as give me confidence enough to use the polisher.

                If its in your budget you will not regret buying the G110. They are a great tool to have. Watch the dvd a couple of times, then even watch it after you use the machine. It will expedite the learning curve tremendously. Good Luck.
