Polishes Menzerna Range on here http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/menzerna-1-litre/cat_25.html

or
3M polishes
http://www.cartersconsumables.co.uk/polish-compounds-polish-c-94_104_201.html


light swirls Menzerna P106FA/ Menzerna P085rd/ 3M Ultrafina On a Meguiars polishing pad or 3m Yellow polishing pad

Medium Swirls Menzerna Intensive Polish3.02 / 3M Extra Fine with Meguiars Polishing Pad or 3M Yellow Polishing Pad

Heavy Swirls, Menzerna intensive Polish 3.02/Menzerna Power Gloss/3M Fast Cut Plus on a 3M Cutting Pad Green or Megs Burgundy Pad

It all depends what sort of car your doing saxo paint is very easy to correct with a light cut to medium cut, if its vag paint you most certain need a medium cut to high cut polish but then have to follow with a lighter cut.

matt you geek

[James]

Fuck, sorry mate.. totally forgot.

There is not much space left on the backing pad so you need to position them perfect mate but other than that they are the best pads I have used by a long shot.

For the red car your going to want a compounding pad and a finishing pad.

Use an abrasive polish to get rid of the swirls and then give it a pass with a light abrasive polish.

Sorry about that man..

Which size pad do you need for standard, as on the site they have 150mm, 76mm is 150mm the normal size. Cant remember the size of backing plate i have, its the one that came with the UDM.

Links above i mentioned will fit your makita, which backing plate do you have if it's the one with the machine, get the 3M backing plate off the 3m pads link:y: it's much better.

[Yates]
