Yellow- (compounding pad)- used to remove swirl marks, paint stains, minor scratches and oxidation.

White- (perfecting pad)- Always follow the yellow pad with the white pad. used for general polishing, light oxidation and minor swirl marks. use with pre-wax cleaners for regular maintenance and light polishing.

Blue- (high-gloss polishing and waxing)- creates a highgloss finish when used with a finishing polish, use to apply waxes, sealantsand finishing glazes.

Black- (Glazing pad)- used for appling glazes prior to adding wax or sealant

the yellow plate with the black centre is the backing plate for the pads, with a velcro back for the pads to stick on to

Not sure if this needs its own thread but where would you suggest buying clay bar?

Last time I got a kit with the quick detailer and some meguiars wax (no idea why they include wax? :confused:), and obviously a couple of bars of clay... but as you can guess, I dont wanna buy the whole kit again, I just need to get my hands on some clay
 
Amen! Lol! Spent a fortune on that site! Posted my car up in the members thread to and the Almera has got some good comments :)
 
If your car is properly waxxed then the air may flow better over the silky smoooooooooottttthhhhhhh bodywork.

Then again it might not.

Makes buckets like chris's look good tho.

(LOVE YOU)
 
I done a course on machine polishing a couple of months back and found the G220 I have was a bit much to use for any about of time due the vibration, used a rotary polisher that day as well and found it so much better. It cut alot quiter and very easy to use.
