Please take the time to read this faq thread from page 1 to last as well... it's long, but most of your questions have been answered in great details in this thread... It's a bit of a chore answering the same basic queries again and again...

click the "search this thread" button up top and type KP600 and you'll see posts from 2005 onwards about the tool... Ditto with other key terms.

would it be ok if i'l use klasse AIO-Mother's sealer and glaze-p21s combination (instead of klasse AIO-klasse SG-p21s?wala pa kasi ako nung SG eh..)

just receive the kp600 ROB and use it this morning, damn!!! walang kwenta!!! pang wax application and removal lang talaga.. if I use a better pads mas maganda ba ang "cutting" niya sa mga cleaner wax/paint cleaner?

*ILD, how did you stick the velcro strips doon sa head ng KP600? pwede ba rugby? baka matunaw yun rubber head niya?

read nanaman ako..page 80 na..hehhehe

how do you use ROP? I mean paano mo i work in yun cleaner wax/polisher? ginamit ko yun foam for wax spreading then wiat it to haze then yun wool namna to buff the wax? ganun lang ba? eh paano kung scratch remover ang gagamtin mo...ganun pa rin ang steps?

don't use a wool pad together with a ROP. liable to damage the paint. as stated before, the KP600 doesn't have enough torque to do significant paint correction. more of product application and wax removal.

as for scratch removers, its best to work it in by hand.

why would the wool pads damage the paint? inclusive na siya with the KP600, and even if I use a better pads wala pa rin kwenta yun KP600?

Wool pads are like sandpaper. Have you ever held steel wool? It feels like that, sort of.

Like I said, before you even go with machines, learn the techniques that can be done by hand first. You're taking two steps at a time.

guys, i bot an applicatior pad sa HANS, hindi meguiars ung binili ko kasi 4 pcs per pack ung meguiars eh... I just bot ung other brand na tig 70 pesos each...

question lng... how do use the pads efficiently? Iam currently using Mothers FX synwax, since medyo "liquidy" ung wax na toh, nahihirapan ako gamitin ung pads... feeling ko nastostock lng sa loob ng pads ung wax... so i tend to add wax on the pads para makita ko na may na apply sa paint ko... however, i have read na it is better if i use the wax sparingly... a small amount for a big part... pero kasi nung ginawa ko un nahirapan ako mag apply... feel ko konti lng and ung ibang part parang diko nalalagyan...

Back to my question, how do I use the pads efficiently... un bang kahit konti lng ung wax, it would still spread the wax evenly sa part...
And lastly, ganu katagal ko dapat hintayin maghaze ung wax before removing?
thanks in advance for the help!

Comment: The good thing I find in Mothers FX Synwax is that its very easy to remove.
Post ko ung first ever wax job ko...
