Hi boosting21, this YouTube Channel is run by Autogeek.net and they also sell polishers but more important their discussion forum, (the thing I post how-to articles to), provides the information to use the tools successfully. Check it out... -Mike

Hi Mike,

What color CCS Pads and product do you reco for:

New car (less than 2 years) with minor swirl marks?

Removal of large scratch on new car?

Waxing new car?

Do we remove wax by hand or with the PC Dual Action?

Thank you.

@mcogdell

Best thing to do is join the Autogeek Discussion forum for questions and help as it's a MUCH better interface for me to share links, videos and pictures to help you. AutogeekOnline . net

Pads: Get Oragne for removing swirls and scratches, get white for removing light swirls and scratches and get black for machine applying wax. I have over a dozen articles on this topic and a brand new e-book too. For e-book type

You can remove wax with a PC but you need a microfiber bonnet and only works with waxes that dry, not WOWO waxes. Type this into google,

Hi Mike!!! Is there any difference between 5.5" and 6.5" CCS pads?? I mean, Is either one faster?? THX!!

[autogeek]

@pablo2809

5.5" pads will tend to rotate better on a DA Polishers like the Porter Cable, Meguiar's and Griot's versions.

@mentalm12

That's pretty hot to be buffing out a car... one thing you can do is start early in the morning while it's cool out and only do a panel or two... continue until you finish the entire car. Makes it less of a chore too...

Hi im in the market for a Da machine and i was wondering would you recommend this or the meguiars g11 DA? Thanks.

[dman856]

Mike is that a 4" or 5" pad that you are using?

@rich6955

I took the handle off immediately, much easier to control the PC from the center than the side.

[SuperPitbull79]

Mike, which machine you recomend, the porter cable or the cyclo polisher?

[SeoulMuzik]

I just got this polisher kit from autopia-car care. Thanks for this instructional!

@SeoulMuzik

Check out Autogeek.net too...

@autogeek yeah...I bought the polisher before I knew about autogeek.net. Ever since I found out about autogeek.net I've been buying all of my products for you guys.

@rich6955

Hi Rich,

I never use the handle but it's personal preference. Newbies will tend to push too hard on the handle and this can cause them to put uneven pressure on the face of the buffing pad and this can actually stop the pad from rotating.
