[QUOTE="FJF, post: 5884318, member: 601907"] Yes. 1. Many modern LSPs - including those found OTC - produce no dust, whatsoever. FWIW, both Optimum and Zaino claim to be bodyshop-safe, they're very easy to apply and remove, though I wouldn't use eather until the paint was at least 30 days old. Before that point, a bodyshop-safe glaze is the safest bet - Meguiars Mirror Glaze (err...) glazes and Presta Fast Wax are two examples. 2. A variable speed machine is a great idea. The Porter Cable 7424 DA is a popular and a reasonably priced choice. Before using a DA (ie. dual-action), I'd strongly suggest doing what I described in a previous post - read the tutorials on Autopia.org. (edit) Here's a video: [MEDIA=youtube]J2sLCoHsEoo[/MEDIA] I have to disagree with this recommendation. Regardless of how soft MF may be, dragging it across relatively fresh paint that isn't pristinely clean can cause easy marring. [/QUOTE]
