Hi all. Got a question here. Is it true that LC CCS Foam Pad retain the product longer underneath the pad compared to flat pad?

I would prefer beading more than swirl free since daily use car / weekly wash car somewhat will DEFINITELY have swirl come back in time from wash and drying....not possible to keep 100% swirl free...

Lake Country Pads hold up to the heat and friction of polishing without transferring that stress to the paint.

Guys, any idea how to get rid those stains on the disc brake?
New car, btw.



Tyre Service Shop? or wash using car shampoo?

A few rounds around the block with some braking would normally take them off....

agreed on the idea, but am working on my dad's at-most-monthly-car lol.

Thanks, that's a relief

Okay. I mean does product stay longer on LC foam pad compared to LC flat pad? Or it totally depends on the product that I use?

I don't like the LC CCS pads with my rotary (err...they were for DA anyway). I haven't tried them on my Bigfoot but I don't think I would be cuz most of them the foam already starting to crumble and next to useless already. They're also too big (6.5") for my liking....

minor feedback on the LHR21: definitely not as balanced as the 15 is, 1 handed operation is much more difficult though doable (had to because inspira roof is HUGE, basically widest i've washed/detailed so far lol that i require a stool to extend my height/reach )

surprisingly, speed 1/2 is much more unstable/vibration than speed 3/4... didn't feel safe on 5 and it's a little too noisy for late night detailing anyways so didn't really try.
the m101 is cutting enough as it is so don't think i really need heh

considering it's insanely huge orbital radius, it's pretty much worthless on curvy/small panels.
thankfully, the inspira/lancer design is very flat/boxy lol, not too many curves etc to deal with, the rest i'll just do it by hand i guess...

pros: as mentioned, the orbital radius is so huge, i can just cover larger panels/sections at one given time
less topping up products haha

Where do you get M101? I am looking for this product

from 'that guy' lo... SupremeCareForYou

sup ray! Happy Chinese new year to you and all detailers

Okay. Will ask the seller soon. Just not sure I should pick for M101 or M105. I have LC foam pad and a DA. Which product is more recommended actually? I know M105 is more like a universal compound that suits for various types of pads as well as for DA or rotary. For M101, it's more geared towards foam pad.

Happy CNY to all!

i just started compounding/using DA/orbital so eh can't really comment much. all the pads i gotten are foam too so no issue with the m101

Okay. I also just started compounding using DA

Will get M101 to try out first

bro, show us ur final AWESOME product plz! hahahaha happy cny ~~~~

M101 wins in all account in my book. I can't see anything M101 can do that M105 can do better....

Got! Not voc compliant

Menzerna has the VOC compliant formulation for their export to the US and sold there. But some of the US folks still prefer to order straight frm Europe and willing to pay a slightly higher price for the non-VOC compliant version. That would say something...

that means harmful chemicals = best results! (just like msg, they are harmful to your body yet adding them into food = )

btw EVERYTHING from Rupes suck except for the machine itself lol...

the provided gel compounds pale in comparison to m101 and ultimate polish
the mf cloth is hopeless in buffing off... (even the mr clean i bought ages ago for cheap outperforms it :/ )
and the lake country/buff and shine is even more stable/balanced (less vibration basically) despite not having a friggin aiming hole to properly align the pad to the machine

wow. lol.

anyways some pictures...

in the process of making mirrors XD http://twitpic.com/dtvt1x

polishing and compound done, applied and buffed off poorboy's "black hole" glaze /pre wax. Omg the shine/mirror http://twitpic.com/dtw9vr


it is unfortunate, however i can't achieve the results i desired and there are STILL plentiful of defects on the car (LOADS of white paint drops, what the f***?) that i didn't have enough time to work with else i'd miss chinese new year (in fact family already going back ipoh late )

regardless, still a GOOD experience and hopefully the next time i do this it won't take a whole damn week (granted, the weekdays i only got like 5-6 hours at most to work on the car) for a detailing project hehe.

also shout out to the poorboy's black hole.
took a leap of faith on it (then again, after the loads of explanation/Q&A from shinecars/Jeremy, i'm pretty convinced already even though i haven't decided on the car's color ROFL) and my god it works wonders! (well i got a blackened/darkened meguiar's foam pad now... rofl)

now if you'd excuse me, gotta catch some power z's and then after waking up = ipoh trip to present this "somewhat show car like not so new car new car"
