I just got a new polisher today and need to know what rpm to use for swirl remover and glaze. Also, should I use a flat foam pad or a waffle foam pad? Thanks

Waffle pad, spritz a light mist of water on the pad, and 1300 rpms or so ...

Bob, is that an optical illusion, or is that quarter panel bowed out? I can almost see your "tenants" in the reflection from that shine, and one of them has a gun........:D:D:D:D
