    LC CCS vs Flat pads. Colors consistant in cutting?

    I ordered some flat pads this week. This is my first time with them. I was comparing the foam on the orange flat and ccs pad and i noticed that the flat pad seemed much rougher than the ccs pad. Are they the same in terms of cutting ability? It seems that all of the flat and CCS pads come...

    ONR. Is there really a need for the 2nd bucket?

    Rejex.....

    I am just curious what you guys think of Rejex as a product. For me i think it's a great sealant and lasts as long as anything i've seen but it doesn't get much discussion on here. On corvetteforum in the car care section people swear by it. I'm just curious if anyone on here has any...

    Do i have to strip the wax? or will the polish do that?

    I want to start doing minor paint correction on my vette. It has wax on it now. Do i have to use dawn or some type of wax stripping wash on the car before i start polishing? Or will the abrasives in the polish combined with the cut of the pad remove the wax? Thanks very much.
