akewlguy Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hey ladies and gents.. I called the people at Klasse and they stated to use microfiber towels. So do I need a buffer and the 1-2-3 process? I suspect the buffer is the best method to strip the crap off of the car and put on the good polish? Right now I am going to buy the 4 pads, backing plate, sonous 1-2-3 and the buffer.. Does this sound like the way to go? Cheers to LEXUS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to LEXUS! ← A RO buffer is not absolutley necessary but it makes the application of a polish easier and more efficient, applying a sealant with a ROB ensures a thin even coat , which is difficult to obatin by hand (difficult but not impossible) Buy as many MF towels as immediate funds allow (you can buy more in time) Same goes for the foam pad 'starter kit'- Foam Pad Starter Kit: •1-Light Cutting Pad (Orange) •1- Polish /light cutting (Green) •2-Polish / Waxing Pad (Blue) •2-Finishing Bonnets •1-5-inch DAS FlexPlate Urethane Backing Plate •Use speed # 4.5-5.0 for machine polishing Autopia uses the above colours for their Autopia DAS Sonus Foam Pads JonM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 The buffer also makes removing defects and swirls a possible task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonw440 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The buffer also makes removing defects and swirls a possible task. ← Correct. It also saves your arms the next day!! Seriously, The PC 7424 will give outstanding results almost unatainable by hand. The way the paint looks after polishing and applying the Klasse with the PC will be amazing. Look at my post on the review of the new polishes. You might not need all three polishes, but just look at the finish of the black paint. Oh this is just polishes and has no wax or sealants on it!

LexKid630 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Is it possible if you use a machine tool to do more harm than good? Is it possible to be too aggressive? I'm always afraid if i use anything than my hands i'll take too much clearcoat off or something along those lines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Not with something like a PC, you can definately be too aggressive with a Rotary but the PC doesn't generate much heat and you'd be very unlikely to harm the paint with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
