Favorite Pad & Polish Combinations

DI Ask-a-Pro Default Thumbnail 2

A while back, I wrote about my favorite combinations to use when doing paint correction.  Some of the products remain, some of them have been replaced.  Here are my personal favorite combos:

Using a Griots Garage 6″ DA with a 5″ Lake Country Backing Plate:

One Step Correction

Two Step Correction

Three Step Correction

Now, those are my “go to” combos first for MOST cars.  Depending on the condition of the paint, the hardness, color, and expected end result, there are other combos that I will try out and use.  Other combos consist of a mix between the following pads and products that I keep stocked on my shelves:

Pads (5.5″): Surbuf, Meguiar’s MF, Orange, Tangerine, Green, Blue, Black, Red (Green and Red are from Buff N Shine)
Products: Meguiar’s M105, M100, D300, Menzerna 300400, 2500, 4000, 4500 (now 3800), Sonax Perfect Finish

Of course this would be silly to stock if you only had one car to take care of every 6 to 12 months, but doing this day in and day out, I need to have a wide variety of products to handle anything thrown my way!
