Megs 105/205 hex pads combo help
xjay1337:
i understand you are starting out but you are getting far too caught up in what pad to use with what polish to be honest.
it's something you just get to pick up and you "feel" for what kind of product and pad is needed.
just start doing it already.

Well I finally had a play with my DA yesterday on my mams car as a guinea pig :grin: the car is covered in swirls so I thought I'd try so I did half the bonnet. It corrected a lot I was really pleased with it.
My only thing is that their seemed to be like dust all over, not sure if it was the compound or the pad ? Is this normal to have dust when you use a DA? Thinking it was probs the compound and hopefully not the pad flaking bits off.
I found it hard whenever the bonnet wasn't flat to keep the DA flat on the paint and it was a little tricky but I'm sure that will come with practice. Another read of xjays guide and some more junkman vids with help me out more aswell.

the 105 is pretty dusty. I normally spray a bit of water on the pad when it starts dusting and it minimises it
