I have been able to remove scuffs at speed 4 on my UDM with SSR 2.5 which usually required speed 6 and a much, much slower pass. These pads are great. Here is a 2000 grit wetsand I did on a scratch which the low profile orange pad got out perfectly with a medium cut polish (SSR 2.5) at speed 4-5 and quite quick passes:



^ Scratch



^ Wetsanded out



^ Polished back


I have had many people tell me how frustrated they were with the PC and the 6.5 pads; these definately make a huge difference. Although I will probably still need a rotary some point down the road.

 

SC,

Typically, you'd use the same speeds polishing, usually 5 or 6, for correcting paint imperfections. The biggest benefit of the smaller pads is to get more bite out of the PC, so you wouldn't want to lower the speed. You will notice that it breaks the polishes down faster than with larger pads. You should see quite a dramatic improvement coming from 7.5" pads on a PC.

If you have any other questions on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.

Asad - Excellent work on that scuff, looks like new!

Yeah,

I used the 6.5" pads - went orange with SIP and white with PF106ff and am still getting some hologramming.

Just ordered a set of 2, 4" orange and 2, 4" white pads + 4" backing plate from detail image, and am hoping that re-polishing with pf106ff on the white pad with the 4" setup will remove the holograms.

Do you recommend that I re-run the entire process? i.e. SIP/Orange on 4" then pf106ff/white again? or will the pf106ff/white one last time on 4" pads do the trick?

 

If it's just hologramming you're trying to remove, then chances are the PO106FF / white will do the trick. Make sure you are fully breaking down the polish prior to removal for maximum results. You still want to apply some pressure to the pads, move the PC slow and work at speed setting 5 or 6.

Keep us posted on how things turn out.

how about the counter weight? what do you guys use? the stock one? coz i have one for my 6" pad and the one that came w/ the PC

 

I haven't tested the two back and forth with a smaller pad set yet, but I'd think that the stock 5" counter weight would be a better option for the smaller pads.

Let us know what you end up using and how it feels vibration wise.

Thanks George. I'll let you know. I see that you just shipped the 4 inch pads this morning!! thanks again! woo hoo!!
