yup the 4inch pad with 3 inch backing plate would work well for the tight spots.

personally on my turbo I just keep it waxed.

i love the look of wax and since I'm on top of the care for the car no reason to really seal it. just preference

wax only.

wax only on a 997turbo I just did

Phil: Thanks - I can see your point. One last question if you don't mind... How tricky is it to use Menzerna Power Gloss Compound for the novice user with a PC? I don't have a paint gauge and I would probably start with just a couple of passes using the white pad and see if I have made the last of the scratches disappear and if that is requiring much more work then I would revert to an orange pad. Both pads are Lake Country products. Does that sound like a plan that would keep me out of trouble?

go with the orange I'm going to bet that's the way to go.

but better yet get a picture and post.

or here you go is it this bad?

take a look

993 paint correction done a few years back

Goodness gracious great ***** of fire! That looks as though it has been used to plow the farmer's fields. (My buddy at work, (who loves Porsches by the way) calls them the German tractor of the automobile family.) No, Phil... Mine doesn't look one hundredth as bad as that. I'll see if I can borrow a camera and post some pictures. Thanks again. Glenn

glenn,
please do that.

you know what's funny when I got that car the customer said it was mint and was in great shape....believe it or not that's why pics always help

Glenn btw we have 16 oz bottles of power gloss so no need to buy any big qty of it.

Ok, If I may jump in here and ask a question, How many pads do you go through per car? 1?

Bergamasco

I use 2-3 pads when I do a job and then I thoroughly wash them and let them dry before bagging them and putting them away for the next time when I will need them

detailersdomain

i use about 10 - 15.

2-4 per step.

I think I will sell my car but keep the hood for polishing. This way I will be able to afford to buy enough polishing pads at least to be able to keep one part of the car looking the way it should.
