What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Haha because that would be redundant. I could beat an f body 3800 camaro too, both being n/a it comes down to the driver mod and those 3800 camaros can spin the wheels pretty hard from a stop

Spent 5 hrs on the imp. Washed, then used my HF 7" and proceeded to scorch paint lol. Gosh I suck with these things. This is the 3rd time I've used it and I think I'm getting...better? Only burnt 2 spots. Wait...3. But I got some new wax and I really like it, Meguiars Black Wax. Goes on easy and wipes off just as easy.

Well quick recommendation get a 5 inch backing plate and run some good pass like lake country 5.5 inch pads etc skip the cheap HF pads

Sounds like you are using a rotary. Should have gotten a DA.

Yeah I think I will. This HF thing is a pain in the ass. It doesn't have a trigger, you gotta push a button to increase/decrease speed. I think with better pads I might have a fighting chance with it though. I got a couple different foam pads from HF, and they fall apart and hop, though the hopping may be driver error dunno.

What pads would you recmend if I got a 5" plate for it? I think I just need one for cutting and one for polish/glaze right?
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Another vote for Lake Country. You probably want to get a few different pads and more than one of each.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

i got a lake county pad pack. had a yellow pad, pink, a orange and a black iirc. 6 inch pads, i use on my d/a hf buffer. love that thing. just used it last week.

Lake country makes good pads. I use orange for correction.. Get enough of them at least 3-4 or so.

If you want idiot proof, pick up a porter cable xp7424, then..I'll billion X the lake country pads. Because... I think everyone I know uses them as well.

Did a burnout

Erm.... that's about it for this week.

Walbro still isn't installed, it's been on my shelf for a month now. Really lacking in motivation to take apart the canister... someone motivate me?
