    I love my jfj and have yet to find a disc i cant fix. Here is MY Method
    Sand with C pad for 20 seconds
    Sand with S pad for 10 seconds
    Polish # 2 for 2 minutes.
    Polish # 1 for 1 minutes.
    Also you dont need to use that much polish at all, just a dot on both sides smeared around is enough. Youll use more of the compound #1 than #2.

    I have had my machine for years and love it! Once you get a feel for the machine you can get every disc to a flawless mirrorlike finish. One simple tip is to make sure you let the discs cool down after you run them in the machine. Once they are cooled down, you will not have the issue of added more scratches when you are removing the excess polish.

    I had 2 of these i use to run at the same time... great value
    Upgraded to the Ecopro2, never looked back!! now have 2 of them.
    But i will say for very very deep scratches, the JFJ is good for that.

    Didn't take long to conclude that it would be a positive result, after seeing how many supplies you bought, etc ;). Machine looks good, and for a fair price. I was thinking "I could make this myself, it looks simple", but then, for the price I am not sure if that be worth it either.
