Hello all,
I am new to machine polishing and just ordered my first polisher. I selected three different pads, the Lake Country flat pads, orange for cutting, white for polishing and black for finishing.
about once a year I do some light cutting on my white 02 accord to remove the black film that accumulates over the winter. (It may not even be necessary to cut but I find it works well to clean the black off. I have meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner also but I find the product I use works a little better to clean the paint.)
I follow that up with the meguiar's deep crystal polish (which I hear is more like a glaze)
and then I apply meguiars deep crystal carnuba wax. (may switch to nxt when this runs out)
Now, has anyone ever had any experience with the lake country pads? Can the black pad be used with this type of liquid wax or is it just for a cleaner wax? Why are there several finishing pads? if they are for applying wax and have no cut, shouldn't there just be one?
How about the white pads? Is that acceptable for meguiars polish? I just dont want to be too abrasive on the car.
also, does anyone know anything about microfiber pads? How can a microfiber pad "cut?" I thought they were the best thing to use on your car when you don't want anything abrasive like say, terrycloth.
