3D abrasive technology works well on hard paints. It micro-mars soft paints. I shared this with the 1969 GTO as just one car I've detailed and found this out during my Test Spot.

For the 510 or 520 - any foam polishing or finishing pad - depends on the Test Spot.

I have a HUGE Buffing Pad Video in the works with pads from,

Lake Country
Buff and Shine
Griot's Garage
RUPES
Meguiar's

Stay tuned...

And for what it's worth, I'm loving the Buff and Shine EdgeGuard pads.

For the lowest entry price, get the Griot's Garage Perfecting Cream. I would have to revisit to know how it works on soft paint but the 3D final polishes will micro-mar.

The Dr. Beasley's NSP Primers have a higher upfront cost, but used correctly, that is 3 pea-sized drops per section, you use less product.

eBay has it but from $25 to $30 more than HF or Amazon and they might ship it but my light is fine for now

I had to buy my SPTA polisher in Hawaii off of an eBay seller because no one else would ship it

I’m surprised I was able to get my Shinemate battery polisher sent here, except it came from Canada, not the lower 48

I have a stop at a HF store on my agenda when we get around to a lower 48 road trip

What’s funny is I can order Li-Ion batteries all day long from on line battery stores and they could give a crap about shipping regs

Curious how this worked out.
