Well I decided to give my new products a run as I only have used 106FA with orange so far on my hood.


(after claying)

(not as bad as before but still it has swirls)

(new goodie that came in the mail)

(not too bad) Considering Ben's LS460 was around 180-170 on average..


(So far its been Claybarred); and the paint readings have been taken)

 

The first twins (above)

Prep pads

Dust is tasty ..not

Who will win:

The other combo

:tear: the makita depresses my pads hahaha

My "cheap" wax

 

Only a few rids left




(faint line of transition) (where the flash sort of makes it out) is the splitting point

All in all both work quite well

(masking tape residue)

My 2 cents:
The Makita will get it done faster; with less wear on your pads; and with only about a 1/4th of vibrations

 

Odd, my pads never look like that after a Makita war

Good test though. I wish KB would post his article already. Very interested in the final process

 

dayam... jj, you just going crazy arent ya?

 

I wish Kevin did hurry up.(it seems to be less efficient) than using a rotary.....The PC sure does vibrate like no other,.I guess I'll just use my new PC for Jeweling and thinner paints; and fiberglass..and it rounds out the ends of my pads.. while the makita seems to have the centers suck themselves in....
