Products for Learning

[Bwiser]

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering what is a good setup for learning how to use the rotary? (product wise)


Thanks!

i'd say meguiar's with a few LC pads, probably the 6.5" ones

Re: Products for Learning

I'm excited to use the new Meguiars products that will be coming out soon, but right now i use 3M products. The 3M is a three step system-this is how it works

Perfect 3000-rubbing compound. I prefer a wool bad with a velcro backing pad

Swirl Mark Remover/glaze. For this i switch over to a foam pad but still use the velco backing pad

Final Glaze-this step isn't required but it really brings a shine to the surface and makes it as smooth as glass.

If you really want a deep shine follow this step with Meguiars Gold Class wax. I am always amazed the way cars look after all of this.

However like I said I am VERY excited for the new products to come out. After I finish this year of college, and use up my materials I currently have, I will purchase the entire Meguiar line.

#83 DACP - W7000 or W800 depending on what you are trying to remove
#80 Speed Glaze - W8000 pad

(I dont have any data to back this up, but in my own personal experiences this is what I have found)

Both are products that seem to have a lot of "hang time" for most cars when buffed at lower RPM's (1000-1200) When you first start practicing work on technique before using higher RPM's. You can still get a great finish on most cars using 1000-1200 rpm, then once you are comfortable with the buffer you can start using higher speeds and will have better results. Its all about the technique and learning to use the right products with the right pads and the right speeds.


Im sure Mike will have some input.
