Omg! My gf is so awesome, I love her to death. She was soo kind enough to purchase me one, and now I can't wait until it gets here. She sees that I have a passion for detailing, but sometimes I cant cut it with a simple car wash and a cheap random orbital, so she order one for me. I'm just wondering what to take into consideration as far as, pads.. I'm assuming, the buffer is the machine alone.. do I need a back plate? if I plan in getting the W7006,W8006,W9006 pads. Ive seen many tutorial videos, and since I have Ultimate Compound, I'm wondering why is it always used with a polishing pad, and not with a cutting pad. Can it be used with cutting pad? or is it not safe (or else to save my self some cash on not getting a cutting pad). Can too much pressure with a more aggressive compound (incase I get M105 and M205 in future) and cutting pad, mess up the paint or clear coat? Most of the finishing pads I see on tutorials are usually black, the one I see in Amazon is somewhat a of beige color, is that a newer version? If you have any tips or advice let me know. I plan on doing my first detail on our black 2005 f-150. Swirls are really visible both in light and shade, It has some deeper sratches on the hood and side right, are those possibly removable?

Re: first timer, expecting an G110 with couple of questions
The cutting pad is not recommended for use with a DA.
1) It will more than likely leave some marring on the surface
2) Using it for extended periods of time, at a high speed and a lot of pressure may cause the pad to fail. The increased cutting power of the pad compared to a polishing pad causes heat to build up much quicker and to a greater extent. The motion of the machine builds up more heat than a rotary would due to the increased amount of friction against the backing by the orbiting motion. If you feel the back of a W8*** polishing pad after extended use in paint correction, you will find the backing to be quite warm. A polishing pad though, will not heat up to the point where it would fail. May I also say, that the failing of the cutting pad is only a very rare circumstance.
The greater problem is with the marring of the paint with the W7*** series cutting pad.Tedrow's Detailing

Re: first timer, expecting an G110 with couple of questions
Alrighty, so from the sounds of it, I'm better off buying 2 polishing pads and 1 finishing. Do I need a back plate?Comment
