[QUOTE="coolcobramatt, post: 13723143, member: 25801"] You can use any size pad you want, it's just the 5.5 and 6.5 make it a helluva lot quicker job over a tiny 3.5. Those are pretty much for the front and rear fascias and other hard to "get into" spots. On the product, look into autogeek.net for many options. I personally use the Pinnacle and Wolfgang lines. It's an all weekend job for sure, taking your time and doing it right. Tape off the car with painter's tape, use an orange pad for the first stage polish (Pinnacle Ultimate Swirl Remover or Wolfgang Uber Compound), go to a grey/black pad for stage 2 finish (Pinnacle Finishing Polish and Wolfgang Finishing Glaze), and then to a red pad for final wax stage. You can add a step and apply a sealant in between the finishing polish and wax if you like, just allow 24 hours for the sealant to cure before the wax. Again, take your time, it's the slow and steady first stage that really makes the difference. Follow this video...it's what taught me the basics. They have vids based on what polisher you use...i.e. 7424 or Flex.
