You hurt it during a swing?

Or just hurt while out golfing? Sucks man, sorry to hear.

I'm pretty bad myself. Let me know what you find out

I got stuck in mud a few times since the course is still soaked. Think I may have twisted it slightly when i sank in during striking the ball. Oh well. Nothing serious.

Sickening knowing I could shave off a solid 5-7 strokes each game if I didn't 3 putt every hole. 10 foot putt for Eagle and I got a double....

I was able to use 1/2 tools on the passenger side (with 24" 1/2 breaker bar), and used 3/8" socket/entension with adapter for the 1/2" breaker bar to get the driver side. (if you have a bigger breaker bar... use it)

It's a good thing I have a blue car, the paint challenges aren't as visible.

I had bought a Porter Cable D/A and some pads so I could attempt to fix some places the body shop didn't do a good job buffing. Well, I didn't get the right pads (figures) nor do I have the right materials to help fix the issues.

I ordered a green and yellow pad from Chemical Guys, according to the descriptions on both, that is what is required to take out medium scratches. Apparently the white one I have isn't the right pad. I thought that the white one with polishing compound would take care of the challenges. Nope....

Which brings up the next difficulty, what setting on the speed control? I'm kinda leery of using 6 (the max speed), I figure around 3 or 4 is probably a good starting point because I don't want to burn the paint. I did remember to not put pressure on the buffer, so I think I'm okay there.

Recommendations on chemicals? The car has some hard water spots (which I think will come up with a clay bar), but there are lots & lots of swirls and what I think are spots that weren't properly buffed out at the body shop. I tried some Turtle Wax white polishing compound, but all I had was the paste and it didn't work real well.

HELP!!!!!

Madwi to the rescue!!!! He taught me everything. Keep your speed at around 2-3. And don't worry about burn-in. It's the whole point of using a DA. Way less risk.
