Thinking of getting the GV110v2 polisher and some polishing lubricants. To help me decide on the lubricants, can you guys tell me what type of paint the SC430 has- as in soft or hard paint?

Has anyone tried powered polishers on their SC430? If so, please share your thoughts and recommendations Thanks!

I have only used a PC polisher with my SC430.
I am a bit picky when it comes to my polishes and waxes.

I generally used Menzerna products to prep the paint, then Pinnacle Sounveran or Signature Series II depending on dark or light colors. A sealant could also be used. I have used Nattys in a pinch but prefer Pinnacle.

Pads are important, invest in a nice set of pads and pad cleaner.

Paint is very soft like all Japanese cars as its water based.

I use the dual action G220 Megs and think its fantastic. If your a novice Id say stick to a dual action so you dont burn the paint rather then a PC. The PC are very popular out your way but not so practical for me as I would need an inverter as well.

And I use mainly Menzerna as well, which again I cant fault.

This is the kit I bought.

The Porter Cable 7424 XP polisher is what I use with Lake Country 5.5 Inch CCS Pads. Mequiars polish and Zaino finish products

I am really happy to hear this. I bought the G220 a few months ago but haven't used it. I have been busy lately.....but may be I was afraid too. Is there anything special one needs to do or take certain precautions to avoid damaging the paint? The paint does not need a lot of work....just want to take out minor scratches from certain spots. May be apply a light buff to the whole car. I have Megs polishing and finishing pads as well as Zaino's Z-PC (also Z-2 and ZFX). Is this sufficient?

Thanks.

TBH I think you cant go wrong with a g220 just by its nature its not aggressive even when you turn the speed up. But obviously keep the speed down if your new.

Hard paint with bad defects I would consider a PC, but I did Range Rover with my G220. Guess it just takes longer.
