fkranger's DD Escalade

[Terminated]

Fred called me up and wanted to get his Escalade cleaned up, and it had some areas of deep clearcoat scratches. Since I couldn't just spot buff it and leave the rest untouched, I went over the whole thing.


This was my first go at using HDSpeed and I must say I am very impressed. The goal wasn't for a full correction but rather to bring some life back into the paint. Interior was very clean, just a quick vacuum, APC wipedown and windows.


Outside:
Wash with Dove/Megs Shampoo
Claybar
Spot compound with 105 on orange pad
HD Speed on white pad
Tires dressed with Opti-Bond

What brand pads are you using? I've been using Lake Country pads for a few years with great success. I've had some Megs pads just deteriorate, especially the backing.

I have a couple of Lake country 6.5" pads but don't use em much as I like the 5.5" pads on a porter cable since it's not high powered like a rotary and has better control with smaller pad. The ones I use are from Autoality I will have to look and see what brand when I get home.

Edit: The white concave pad in one of the pics actually blew apart on me while buffing, it was pretty old though.
