Mop

[Mikey_J]

Ive been looking into buying a mop for ages and have just seen a bargain. What i was wondering is, are they all that there made up to be? Whats the best way of using them? and also i know alot of people use farecla g3 on them but which is the best stuff to use on it? (liquid or paste form)?? Cheers

lol lol lol No lol as in car polisher mop. Dont ask me why its called that because i dont know!lol

G3 paste is awesome.

You can also use G4 beforehand if the paint is really funked.

[Mikey_J]

So are mop's any good then? How do you use them lol? the same way you would normally polish a car?

[Lee]

If you get a DA one (dual action), theyre great. Ive seen some just rotational ones that are uber expensive for something you could do with the end of a drill!

There is little difference between g3 and g4,g4 is a bit more 'gritty',they are very good if you no how to use them,id buy the liquid g3 in the bottle because it will last longer than the paste in the tin(the tin will get alot of dirt and crap in it)

The new advanced g3 is better as you dont use water with it but to be honest i never use water with the normal stuff but be carefull near edges and swage lines,keep the mop clean.rince under warm water before use it will soften in up,then use g10 if your going all the way!

You dont need alot of compound on the panel.keep away from plastic trim etc it will stain.also dont leave it on the panel(do one panel at a time)keep wipeing the excess compound off.

Im goin to buff my car up next weekend if its nice weather so ill get some pics up.

Also you can pick a buffer/sander up for pea-nuts.
