Oo, that would be totally cool, to have a test unit to try out first, a test class session for clueless people like me would be even better.

For starters, can anyone point me to a link/forum topic explaining in beautiful, simple, plentiful detail about the nature of such machines and the terminologies used? DA, ROBs, backing plates, pads, etc.. spinning already smile_shy.gif

Nice review on the das6. Any info on the velet pad and compound? Was it with a rotary or DA?


Velvet is meant to be used with RB only.

Nice haul on the new DA. At last a 'true' DA in our shores.

Just a couple of questions on the velvet pad though. It's fast and it's effective, but how do you think it compares with sanding/sanding disc in term of how much clear coat being removed? And would you still need compounding after using the velvet pad?

Thanks.


Well I would say it's safer than sanding in a way.

For sanding, the whole surface haze up, whether you over sand (lower than OP level) or sand not enough, you can't really "measure".

Well it all comes down to skill and experience.

Unlike the velvet you can see OP being "cut" away as you polish and move your RB about. So you'll stop at the point you think OP has removed enough.

Now that's safe smile_thumbup.gif

No doubt the swirls left are quite bad, PIA at time but hey sanding marks ain't easy to remove too

Btw you'll need at least a pfw or 4 ply to reomve the swirls left behind.

But still certain areas like curved or tight areas, a sandpaper will come in handy smile_wink.gif

Ouch...I was thinking it wouldn't need to go that far.

So can I say that, in a way, the velvet/jeans pad would cut the same way as sanding disc would, except that it uses the aggressiveness of the machine+pad+compound instead of Aluminum Oxide grain on a sanding disc? And afterwards, you'd still need to go through the similar process of compound-polish?

Polishes/compounds are also made of aluminium oxide. smile_approve.gif

Well yeap after velvet, you'll need a wool followed up by a foam.

I'll probably organize a "pro" clinic for AW. Maybe Mid year or so la
