[QUOTE="blue 07, post: 15450589, member: 179885"] I detail on the side, full paint corrections, sealant/glaze/wax applications, etc. I do a lot of high end cars, and would like to give you a suggestion. I see that you haven't purchased a clay bar. Detailing 101, you have to clay bar first to remove contaminants, light oxidation, etc. if you don't your going to machine all that into your paint and the scratches will get worse. You need a clean surface to work with to get great results. If you have never used a machine on paint, test your skills first on a very small panel on your car (your trunk is a good place to start ) or practice on your daily driver etc FIRST ! It takes a lot of practice to start using a machine on a car and a lot of hours and practice to perfect it. It can also get expensive, if you buy all the right stuff ! You need different compounds along with the pads as well. Remember one thing, keep the machine moving, don't stay in one spot to long till you get better with the machine.
