Deep Gloss Auto Salon: Lincoln LS & Dodge Stratus Detailed

[Deep Gloss Auto Salon]

Damnit... I just got a shipment of 6.5" pads... The previous owner of the PC (07G35 on DU) had the 6" backing plate already attached. Oh well, Guess I'll have to buy more pads and the smaller backing plate.

You can always sell them for a very slight loss on many of the detailing message boards...

Personally I would rather slice my wrists with a dull, rusty spoon as opposed to use anything larger than a 5" pad on a PC

What pads did you buy?

Lake Country 6.5" from detailedimage.com

2 - orange
2 - white
1 - black
1 - blue

I just went by what it seemed everyone else was using... The pads are also NOT the CCS ones. They are the all open cell foam.

LC makes good pads... I am a pad junkie.. pads, micro fibers amd polishes are my kryptonite....

You may have more patience than me and have better success with the big pads on a PC.. I also started with the large pads and after my first few attempts with the PC and large pads I almost never detailed again

Thank you for all the advice!

Truth is, this is my first attempt at any type of paint correction, and I think I should stay with the "least aggressive method first" approach. Maybe with the SSR3 and the orange pad, I'll get some decent cutting power.

I'm very patient when it comes to my car. I like to take my time and make sure everything is perfect. So maybe slow and steady will work for me. I sure hope so.

Otherwise it's another hundred bucks for the smaller backing plate and pads.
