- In this video we take a look at the Uro Fiber 50:50 pad from Buff & Shine. This blended cutting and polishing microfibre pad promises to cut, polish and finish in one step! But will this be the case?
For most corrections our go to combination is the Rupes Fine yellow polishing pad paired with Sonax Perfect Finish, so how will the Uro Fiber pad compare to this?

I've watched quite a few videos in the last several days, and finally realizing that for me, a guy who's going to do this once or twice a year, the Sonax Perfect Finish coupled with the Buff & Shine Uro Fiber 50-50 pad will be the perfect solution especially when trying to keep this a bit simple. Let the pros deal with all the variables to get that last extra bit of shine. I'll get 80-90% of the way there with much less aggravation. Thanks for the great video!
rand49er - That’s a wise choice! Taking this approach will save you lots of time and effort, and will still yield very good results. Here’s some advice ... for a 1 step correction - even though the Uro Fiber 50:50 pad is very good - we would use a Rupes Yellow pad instead. Team this with either Sonax Perfect Finish, or Meguiars D300. Thank you for your kind comment. Wishing you a happy 2021 👍🏽💯👊🏽
3d one and the uro fiber 50 50 is very popular in the US. 3d one cuts like 3d hd cut plus compound and finishes down like perfect finish.
Check out a guy called Brian and his channel is apex detail in the US, he has tonnes of videos with the uro fiber 50 50 pad.
Vince Hughes - Yes we’ve heard lots of good things about the 3D range of products. We’ve tried most of them and they are very good 👍🏽 ... will be sure to check out your recommendation 👍🏽😎💯🚗🤓

Hi SteveRabbits - Yes we launched the channel and our Instagram page around October 2019. Thank you for stating we deserve more subscribers! Our opinion is that these media channels require time for people to stumble across the content and hopefully subscribe if they feel the content is valid ... it would help us if you recommend our channel on other detailing channels you may view/subscribe to. For us it’s not about making money from these media streams ... we feel that so much is lost in translation in the detailing world that we just want to put across our experiences. Thank You kindly 👍🏽😎💯
@@VProjectUKDetailing I am a member of one detailing channel's Patreon group, there are many members who show their commitment by being a paying patron, I am sure your channel would be of interest to many of them but out of respect for the guy's YT channel I would ask before I plug another YT channel. I am sure he would be ok about it but even so it's the polite way to behave.

This guy is really really good. I've watched loads from john at forensic, jim white at white details but I've learnt the most here. Thank you for your effort. I'm machine polishing for the first time easter weekend. Got all the gear I need and will let you know how I get on
Excellent advice. Thank you!!!!
With theUro Fiber 50:50 Pad, how often do you clean the pad when you were polishing? And how do you clean this kind of pad while you're polishing? Thx
@Teleman01 - Thanks for watching. You should clean your pad after every set of passes. The method of cleaning depends on your polish. If it dusts a lot then use a brush or air to blow away the dust. If it doesn’t dust much then we use a brush and also a microfibre to wipe away residue. Hope this helps. If you’ve not already done so check out the rest of the channel & subscribe! 🚗🙏🏽😎
Hi i am planning to use Urofiber with 3D One as my compound stage 1. I was just wanting how many pads do i require with 3D one for 1 car? do i need multiple?
Vince Khaw - Great question. Firstly, (and we are not trying to boost viewing numbers here 😂), we would highly recommend watching our ‘Pads - Do you know where to start’ video if you haven’t seen it already! This video goes into various pad choice in greater depth. Once you watch that video you will better understand why we would recommend the Meguiars MF pad as a better choice for achieving better 1st stage compounding results. To answer the second part of your question you would need 1 x pad for each large panel, and 1 x pad for 2 smaller panels - therefore you would need numerous amounts of pads depending on the vehicle you will be working on! Also - let’s say you need 10 x pads for your vehicle - you would require 10 x pads of each size your vehicle may require e.g. 10 x 5” pads, 10 x 3” pads, 10 x 1” pads etc - not cheap! 🥺. That is of course assuming you want professional results! Hope this helps! If you’ve not checked out the rest of the channel please do - and please make sure you subscribe! Thanks 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
Thanks for the review guys 👍 was just about to pick up the revised yellow wool pads (improved foam backing for durability) from Rupes. Any knowledge of how the Uro fiber would compare with the Rupes yellow or blue wool pads?
Hi Ed Burness - Thanks for your kind comments! In our experience of using the Uro Fiber pad it would sit somewhere in between a polishing pad and a cutting pad such as a Rupes wool pad - so if you’re after a pad to cut the wool pad would give you better cutting. Buff & Shine have designed this pad to do all three steps of a correction i.e. it will cut with a compound, polish with a polish, and finish with a finishing polish but we find other dedicated pads perform better for each of these individual stages - check out our “Pads! Do you know where to start?” video if you’ve not already done so! It performs brilliantly as a one step pad (even though it was not strictly meant for this purpose) using Sonax Perfect Finish on medium & hard lacquer! Hope this helps! Make sure you check out our other videos and hit that subscribe button if you not already done so! 👍🏽 Good Luck ...
how do you know whether you have soft, medium or hard lacquer on your car. cheers.
Snookerloopy - You need to measure paint thicknesses, then do a test section and assess the results! We use a Rupes Yellow Fine Pad paired with Sonax Perfect Finish for this purpose. If you get hazing/are creating scratches as you go chances are you have soft lacquer. If you get good correction and good gloss then chances are you have medium lacquer. If you get some correction but not much then chances are you have hard lacquer. The you can adjust the pad/compound/polish choice and determine if in general a 1-stage or 2-stage correction is required to attain the results you are trying to achieve! Hope this helps … thanks for watching and if you not subscribed on Instagram & CZcams please make sure you do! Thanks 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
Hi was going to buy one of these pads and was planning on using it with sonax perfect Finnish or 3d hd speed but after watching your video I’m now unsure I have a mk3.5 Ford Focus 15 plate and I don’t want hazing as working a lot I don’t have time to do a two stage do you think the 50/50 pad will cause me hazing?
Brad - Firstly thanks for watching! It’s a great question! The trick in detailing is to know the best combinations and the best products to use to achieve the desired results being as least aggressive as possible in the process! This usually comes from experience! Fords tend to have intermediate paint! If you want to try to get the best 1 step results we would recommend using Meguiars D300 paired with a Rupes Yellow Fine Pad. Try a test section first (obviously once you’ve fully decontaminated & measured paint thicknesses), and see how you get on! What we can tell you is that this is the first combination we reach for when trying to achieve a 1-step result! Hope this helps! Let us know how you get on! If you’ve not already done so please check out the rest of the channel & subscribe! 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
I have both d300 and sonax perfect finish with megs microfiber cutting pads and white lake country pads. Are these 2 similar? I know d300 is named a compound but I seem to get good results with their microfiber cutting pads as a single step and was wondering if is necessary to go over with sonax PF with either a white lake country or yellow rupes pad. What would be the better 1 step out of sonax PF and d300 and with what pad? Thank you.
Din Mulaosmanovic - Thanks for watching. You will great finishing using D300 with the Megs MF pads, and as you say even though D300 is designed to be a heavy cutting compound it works great as a 1 step when paired with the right pad. If we used the D300/MF combo we would finish it down with Menzerna 3800, however depending on what level of finish you are trying to achieve we find the best one step use for D300 is with a Rupes Yellow Fine Pad. We actually find it is a better one step on harder paints than Sonax PF. Hope this helps. We have a video featuring D300 so make sure you check it out as well as the rest of the channel and if you’ve not already done so please subscribe. Thanks 🙏🏽👍🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing For now I have orange and white CCS lake country pads. What pad is closer to the rupes yellow foam pads? Thanks I subscribed 👍.
Din Mulaosmanovic - Their orange pads are the most equivalent 👍🏽
Excellent explanation, what is your thoughts on orange foam pad?
Carlos Rivera - Thank You for your kind comments! If you’ve not seen it already check out our “Pads! Do YOU know where to start!” Video. We find the Orange pad is comparable to the Rupes Green Medium Polishing Pad! The Rupes Yellow Fine Pad is the main pad we use at V-Project UK for most corrections. This paired with Sonax Perfect Finish gives us excellent results. If we needed to use a pad to give us slightly more cut we would use the Uro Fiber Pad, and if we needed even more cut we would use the Meguiars MF Cutting pad. In essence we find we don’t need a medium grade polishing pad! Hope this helps 👍🏽
Hi and thanks for this video. Would you say that the E71 Bmw X6 2008 has a soft/medium/hard lacquer?
conandrum74 - Firstly thanks for watching. German marques (Inc. BMW) have hard lacquer. If you’ve not already done so please check out the rest of the channel & subscribe 👍🏽💯🚗
Is there a 'detailers' registry or anything where you can quickly check the paint/clear coat hardness etc by looking for model/year? Im tidying up a MK5 Ford fiesta [ circa 2004], any idea what its paint is classed as?
God Is In The Details - Excellent question! I’m sure you could find many paint hardness guides if you looked but the simple answer is do not use these as a definitive guide! Use them as a rough guide. From experience Ford vehicles tend to have intermediate paint hardness which is to say they are medium hardness. However, manufacturers can change lacquer suppliers due to supply and demand so the hardness could vary! 😩. The only way to be for sure, and as a golden rule, always do a test section first prior to attempting to machine polish the whole vehicle. Another factor to also consider is that the whole vehicle may not have been sprayed with lacquer from the same batch (rare but possible) e.g. doors could have been sprayed separately - therefore could be varying hardnesses - so you should continually monitor your results as you go to ensure the results are consistent. Hope this helps 😁 ... we anticipate releasing a video on this subject soon so make sure you’ve subscribed, and press the bell alert button to get notified when it’s released 👍🏽😎💯
@@VProjectUKDetailing good point re different batches. Think I'll take a punt on this uro fiber pad anyway and see what happens, have another pad that should tidy it up if produces haze
just got it today and had a whirl. I'm using a Makita forced rotation polisher and noticed it really grabs and punishes for not keeping it level. That aside the extra physical work is offset by the results, made light work of a lot of scratches in about 4 passes the other pad couldn't even touch at 8. for a total noob I'm very impressed as I can see me doing whole car and getting 85% improvement at least.
Would uro fibre pads be ok on the flex xce forced rotation cordless correcting very hard Mercedes paint?
Looking to use Koch chemie h9 and a Koch chemie finishing polish so 2 stage correction..
@kamranhussain578 - First of all thanks for watching! Yes they will be absolutely fine however, these pads tend to have a very hard edge so just be cautious that if you angle the pad for any reason the edge does not come into contact with the paint or it could cause deep scratching! Hope this helps? If you’ve not already done so check out the rest of the channel & subscribe! Thanks 🙏🏽👍🏽🚗
Very nice demonstration. What pad and polish combination would you recommend or softer clear coats? I have a Honda, Acura and Hyundai in the driveway. I was wanting to get the urofiber 50/50 along with HD one polish, but after this video I am left wondering...
Thanks in advance for your advice!
goldenbear31 - Thank you for your kind words! Soft clear coats can be very hard to refine. To get better scratch/defect removal you can still use the Uro Fiber 50:50 pad but you will then need to do a 2 stage correction to remove the hazing caused by the Uro Fiber pad. The other option is to do a 1 stage correction using the Rupes BigFoot Yellow Fine Pad to get most of the fine/medium defects out and improve the condition of the paint vastly.
2 Stage Correction - try the Uro Fiber 50:50 pad teamed up with Meguiars Detailer D300 compound followed by Rupes BigFoot White SuperFine pad teamed up with either Sonax Perfect Finish, PolishAngel Esclate or AngelWax Perfect Polish (these get finer as listed).
1 Stage correction - try the Rupes BigFoot Yellow fine pad teamed up with either the Meguiars Detailer D300 compound (works very well as a 1 step), Sonax Perfect Finish, or Menzerna Super Finish 3500. Do a test section on each vehicle (as they will vary) to see what gives you the best results. One may respond to a 1 stage or 2 stage and/or various pad/polish combinations better than the other vehicle. Also keep a close eye on lacquer removal .. as the clear coats are soft you may be surprised at just how quickly soft lacquer can be removed. Not trying to get viewing numbers up here (LOL) but check out one of our other videos “Watch this to avoid a costly mistake” for more info. Hope this helps ... 👍🏽🤭🚗
I tend to stay away from finishing with fiber based pads in general. The fibers are a form or abrasive in and of themselves. Some paints won't be bothered by that, but softer finishes can be very sensitive to this.
If you're looking for a very good 1 step solution, I'd go with Menzerna MC2500 on yellow Buff and Shine Uro-Tec foam pads (near identical foam to the Rupes yellow).
You could also pick up the Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber microfiber pad for more intense defect removal - even using the same polish.
I'd avoid 3D One in this situation because it doesn't always finish out on every paint. I have in the shop right now a vehicle with fussy black paint, and even soft foam finishing pads are not getting a mar free finish from 3D One. It happens sometimes. 3D AAT502, 3D ACA520 (incredible polish) will finish out perfectly, but they won't cut like 3D ONE.
Menzerna medium and fine polishes tend to finish out more consistently over a wide variety of paint systems.
My "go-to" set of polishes are Menzerna HC400 green line Heavy Cut, MC2500 medium polish, SF3500 fine polish. With the Uro-Fiber microfiber, and Uro-Tec yellow polishing pads. They cover anything I encounter. I do keep Uro-Wool, and the Uro-Tec blue coarse, and maroon medium cut pads in stock for oxidized finishes, and for whenever I use 3D AAT501 compound, because It just doesn't work well for me when using microfiber pads.
Thanks for the help!

Hi wondering if you can help me. I have 6 rupes yellow foam pads and 6 white. I have Sonex Perfect Finish and a decent DA. I have a Renault Megane RS in Flame red. Its really shiney 2 stage paint. There are some marks but nothing major but i want the finish to be perfect. For the most part it looks as a new car would say after a year of daily. Nothing major. No major swirls but some very light marks you can see. Would you suggest i use a white foam pad instead of yellow with the Perfect Finish? To get some small correction and finish down perfect keeping the glossy-ness.
John Boy - Firstly thanks for watching! It’s a great question! The trick with detailing is to achieve the desired results being as least aggressive as possible! Perfect Finish does well with both White & Yellow pads! Renaults tend to have intermediate paint - so our advice is try a small test section with the white pad first! If you get the desired results/perfection you are looking for then happy days! If you find you don’t get the correction you are looking for them step up to the Yellow pad! As it’s most likely intermediate paint you MAY find that you will need a finishing/jeweling polish to get that final shine! Make sure you measure your paint depths first prior to doing any machine polishing to ensure you have enough clearcoat to play with! Hope this helps! If you’ve not already done so please check out the rest of the channel & subscribe 👍🏽🚗🙏🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing Thank you so much, ill try white first then yellow. I bought Sonex Perfect Finish as iv seen on many videos thats all i will need to finish it as its a final stage regardless is this right? The only other polish i have is meguiars ultimate polish. I also got 3d one but thats not a finishing polish. Is any paint depth gauge fine? and is there a video on what is considered alot of laquar and what is a little?
So lets say i go in with my white pad and it corrects just fine. If the gloss is somehow not enough what do i do or should it finish down? Its just you said i "MAY find that you will need a finishing/jeweling polish to get that final shine! ". Thats got me worried i may not have all the products to finish the job. Thanks and iv subbed and liked! Im hoping to not play with much clear like i said its a new Megane RS i want to keep the clear in good condition and only take off the bare minimum and just give it that showroom look. Thats why i was thinking white pad with Sonex Perfect Finish as its not that aggressive. Im just hoping it can keep my current shine, or get more if thats possible. Its super glossy already. So there is a chance ill need another polish after PF? When you say intermediate paint would that mean like a medium hardness clear? between soft and hard?
John Boy - Perfect Finish is a one-step polish. Yes intermediate paint is medium hardness. Yes any good paint depth gauge with a good range will do. Regarding paint thicknesses check out our ‘paint depth gauge’ video and our ‘detailing responsibly’ video. You have most of the equipment/pads to jewel if you find it’s necessary. We use Menzerna 3800 for that final jewel! Use it with the white pads! You won’t be disappointed if you want to achieve that final pro finish! Good luck 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing Sorry one more quick question you have been extremely helpfully and this info is amazing and thanks for taking the time out your day to help me. Ill check them videos shortly thank you. So like i said the paint is already really glossy there is just a few marks here and there. Its not far off showroom finish. So i can go over with perfect finish with my white pad and step up to yellow if need be?
Or could i just go in with Menzerna 3800 with a white pad? I want it to be 1 step if possible. Not looking for major correction as there isnt that much to correct. Its like new really, just got them odd marks that can be seen in a certain light/angle. From what i have seen perfect finish does finish down amazing on most videos... But im looking for that really shiny gloss like you say that final pro finish. Can that final pro finish be achieved with perfect finish or should i get buying this Menzerna 3800??? I guess what im asking is... if it was to be one step only. Would you personally pull out the Sonex PF with white pad or Menzerna 3800 with white pad for very minor correction (as thats all it needs) but super glossy finish. Thank you once again mate!
John Boy - To achieve what you want we would pull out the Sonax PF & white pad stepping up to yellow depending on how much correction we achieved with the white pad. Try this combo first and see if you are happy with the results. It will be very glossy as PF finishes down extremely well. 3800 is too mild to fully correct but is a killer jeweling polish. You will be happy with the results PF gives you - but if you finished it down with 3800 you would see a difference for that pro finish - Hope this makes sense & helps 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
I’ve watched this video several times. I also was numerous videos by Matt at Obsessed Garage, Brian at Apex Detail and most recently Pan The Organizer. I’ve done Decontamination on my 2015 BMW 435i several times. It has garage been garaged since I purchased in December 2014. I don’t have scratches, swirls are minor, and only a few rocks chips I repair myself using Dr. ColorChip. The Decontamination I will do this March or April will be different. I plan on applying a Ceramic Coating. I’ll be using CarPro Reflect as the final step before apply the Ceramic Coating. I’ve used 3D Spider Pads Black and Light Purple previously. I leaning towards using UroFiber Pads. But, will the UroFiber Black Finishing Pad do what I want to accomplish using CarPro Reflect? The only Detailer that even mentions the Black Finishing Pad is Matthew’s Specialized Detailing during an interview with Clint, from Buff and Shine. Your thoughts?
Ron Keller - If you’re doing a full decontamination followed by a polish and ceramic coating then several of the videos on our channel will be worth a view, as they should answer your questions in slightly more detail than our answer here. The videos mainly go in a detailing chronological order. If you’re planning to use CarPro ReFlect as a final stage finishing polish then to answer your question the Uro Fiber Black Finishing Pad will do what you require, but we would use the Rupes White UltraFine pad. Check out our “Pads do you know where to start?” video as this goes into more detail. From our experience the Rupes pads achieve the best results when it comes to polishing or final polishing. As mentioned above several of our videos will be of use to watch so please check them out and subscribe if you’ve not already done so. 👍🏽🙏🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing Thanks for your rapid reply! I noticed on your one video I watched on the Uro Fiber Pad video you did use a different pad also during the video. Haven’t ever considered using Rupes Pads. You asked if I knew where to start. Guess I should “start” by looking through your videos! I’ll look through your videos to see if the Rupes White UltraFine pad is demonstrated. Sounds like I should use! I’ve already “Subscribed”! Again, thanks for you reply and recommendation! 👍🙏
Ron Keller - No worries! Trust us when we say watch the videos! In 99% of cases it should answer your questions. It’s not us trying to get viewing numbers up! It should help you ... as mentioned before they generally go in a chronological order so start from the earlier videos and jump in wherever you feel you need to know anything! Good luck 👍🏽👊🏽
Would the Uro fibre be ok with aio polishes on soft lacquer?
Brad - Great question. The trick with detailing (responsibly) is to achieve the desired result being as least aggressive as possible. Soft lacquer generally responds better to AIO’s with soft pads. The Uro Fiber MAY be to aggressive to give you a good finish on soft lacquer. We would start with the Rupes White Pad. Hope this helps. 👍🏽🙏🏽🚗
What about the Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber Finisher Pad really interested to hear your thoughts on it and thank you for your reply
Brad - In our experience the Rupes White Pad is a softer pad than the UroFiber. As mentioned previously in most cases the Rupes would be our go-to pad for soft lacquers 👍🏽
I have never used a microfiber pad as I always thought they were difficult to clean after each pass?
Do you use an airline to clean the pad or is there another method?
S Ba - Hi. They are fairly easy to keep residue free. If you have an airline you can blow them out after each set of passes, or you can use a brush to brush away any residue. We like to lightly mist the MF pads with CarPro Multi-X APC after a few sets and lightly wipe them with an MF towel to give them a better clean to keep them working at their best for longer. This step is optional and any good APC should work. Hope this helps 👍🏽🚗
Hi Tundra Whisperer - Sorry we accidentally removed your question! Oops! You can resubmit it ... We wouldn’t use an APC on a foam pad. Most good foam pads are open cell which means a lot of the APC would go into the pad and that could just cause issues ... best to just blow dry foam pads, brush the debris off with a pad brush and/or lightly wipe them with a microfibre towel after each set of passes. You should also use a fresh clean pad after each panel or two. Hope this helps 👍🏽💯🚘
V-Project UK : Detailing perfect, will do. Thank you.
Question for anybody that maintains these pads. I used a small bit of tide cold water and diluted it heavily with water to clean out the pads after a correction. I know microfiber doesn't like those detergents that have dyes and perfumes added. Are my pads going to be effective after that? I guess I could wash them again using IPA, Dawn and APC this time. Anybody know if I'm just overthinking it? Will I still get the same performance after I do the second clean? Thanks
Hot Pepper - Yes you are just overthinking it! In an ideal world just use a pure cleaner without dyes/perfumes in the future! The only thing that would render your pad(s) unusable is any sort of powder detergent, or a biological wash e.g. never clean pads using powder washing detergents etc. After the next use wash them using Dawn, or an APC and you should be fine!

Emil - Hi.

What pad would you use for a paint enhancement? I have an unopened megs black finishing pad but that may not be aggressive enough
Abel Tatek - it’s really not a straight forward answer I’m afraid! We would direct you to several of our videos - you need to know the paint hardness, paint thickness, assess the imperfection level and work accordingly. As a general rule of thumb you would do a 1-step as a paint enhancement so we would opt to use the Rupes Yellow pad with Meguiars D300 Detailer compound but this is a very general answer! We are not trying to increase viewing numbers by saying that most of the answers you seek are in our videos so make a cup of tea, sit back, and watch them over the course of a few days and you should find the answers you are looking for! There would just simply be too much to type! 👍🏽🚗
@@VProjectUKDetailing oh man. The world of paint correction is a lot more complicated and (possibly) expensive than I thought lol. I was planning on taking my griots g6, sonax pf, and rupes yellow and attempting to do a paint enhancement on our 2010 Mazda 5 but seems like it's a lot more complicated than that. I'll continue watching you and apex. The selfish part of me hopes that the channel doesn't grow too big so I can continue getting my questions answered quick 🤣
Abel Tatek - Yes it’s not as straight forward as most people think. Ultimately anyone can buy the products showcased by CZcams channels such as ours but what you pay a GOOD detailer for is their expertise! Japanese cars such as Mazda tend to have soft paint so try using the Rupes White pad with Menzerna 3500 first, and bump up to the Rupes Yellow pad with Sonax PF if the first option doesn’t give you the results. But again it all boils down to paint thicknesses and how much lacquer you can safely polish away! But yes ... when the channel (hopefully) gets bigger we won’t have the luxury of answering every comment! Thanks again! Make sure you check out the vids - the answers are all in there! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
So with pf with euro pad on hard and medium paint will the finish be just as good as rupes yellow or less?
hakman239 : Hard Lacquer - Will be better, Medium Lacquer - will be just as good but at times may require a 2nd jewelling stage if you want to get that extra finish, Soft Lacquer - will act like a cutting stage which will require polishing/finishing. Hope this helps 👍🏽
V-Project UK : Detailing so finish is just as good with rupes pad then? Yellow
Also have you tried perfect finish with rupes Millie yellow pad? It’s thinner and 5.5 inch
hakman239 : Yes we have! Great results but we find the standard Rupes Fine Yellow pad is sufficient! 👍🏽
V-Project UK : Detailing any difference between the 2 I have Millie yellow on my 15mm da think 6 inch too big
hakman239 : Rupes Millie pads are designed for forced rotation machines. Thinner profile makes them less prone to rip and tear which normal pads can do on forced rotation/gear driven machines.
V-Project UK : Detailing I think it gives you more cut same way megs extra cut disk does
Hakman239 : Yes it does slightly! As it’s thinner more of the energy of the machine polisher goes through the pad which means you get slightly more cut same as Meg Xtra Cut discs 👍🏽
Nice one guys need to give that whizz
Richard Catchpole : Make sure you do! On hard lacquer you will be very impressed with the results! 👍🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing how do I dentify if I have hard lacquer? Think my van is just van white paint .....
@Richard Catchpole - Trial and error unfortunately! Certain manufacturers are known to have certain lacquer hardnesses but the only way to know for sure is to do a test section. Start with the least aggressive method which you know will give you excellent results ... usually for us that’s the Rupes Fine yellow pad teamed up with Sonax Perfect Finish! If you get good results then chances are it’s a medium lacquer! If you still have a few scratches/swirling/holograms then chances are it’s hard lacquer! If you get some hazing or lack of real clarity the chances are it’s soft lacquer! This is a really basic explanation but essentially it’s try and see. Hope this helps 🚗💯👍🏽
@@VProjectUKDetailing Cheers guys excellent advice as always
V-Project UK : Detailing... the thinking man's detailer! 👍👍
Ok, being politically correct, the thinking person's detailer. Doesn't quite have the same ring though does it! 🙄
Hi SteveRabbits - LOL ... no it doesn’t ... 😂 ... but yes in some of our content we do/will challenge what some people see as the norm ... some comments we’ve received already shows we are pushing some conventional thinking ... but it’s a healthy debate ... 👍🏽😎
@@VProjectUKDetailing definitely! Keep pushing! 🥇🥇🥇
