I'm gonna try to finish or at least get a large portion of the car done tomorrow. Detail all morning/afternoon....then come home and do another car all night.....the things i do for cars lol.

Hard to tell what the victim car is, is that a Crown Vic?

Hyundai Accent 2001

That buffer scares me. It reminds me of the grinder I used to use on steel to smooth it out lol.

It shouldn't scare you. This completely different from a grinder, even though they look similar. It is a Random Orbital, which is nearly impossible to damage your paint with.


I've finished the right hand side with 2 passes of #83, and 2 passes of #80.

Driver side is done with 2 passes of #83, got 2 more passes of #80 to go.

Question for you, what pad did you use to apply the M80 and the M83?
I've recently got a PC myself and I think the pads I've got are color-coded differently than the ones sold by Meguiars; White pad is the polishing pad, the Orange one has more cut than the White, and the Yellow one being the most aggressive. This is how the ones I've got are rated.

if it came with the 3 orange pads those are by Lake Country Polishing pads (same as M yellow ones). Middle grade aggressiveness. Most used pad.

The white one I wouldn't even use. The Lake pads are awesome.

but for megs,

burgundy - very aggressive
yellow - polish - mild aggressive
tan - finishing - light aggressive

If its a orbital buffer you would have to try to ruin the paint. However, a "real" buffer is what works miracles on paint. You just have to know what your doing......and I do not. Haha

You would have to really try to damage ur paint with the porter cable. The buffers that people are afraid of are called rotary buffers. These buffers have higher RPMS and spin in the same direction to get DEEPER into paint. These are practical when compounding or CLEANING poor paint.

When polishing or shining up average to good paint...orbitals are best suited.

Keep up the good work.

with a white car i wouldnt bother with a High speed buffer....since its sooo hard to see the hairy scratches unless your under some intense lights....and yes with buffing you def need to know what you are doing ....i detail for a living

nice toys you got there
