Got the PC the other day. Got to try it tonight... AIO'ed my mom's metallic silver SL.



PC 7424 = :bow



To be on the safe side, I took my time and kept it on speed "1" the entire time. Rub it on the paint, use just the buffer's weight to work it in, buff with a TW MF. Came out quite nicely, other than the fact that the car will eventually need a claying. Badly.



It was late afternoon / nighttime when I did this, so I can't really see any swirls and such... hope I didn't screw anything up.



I was just wondering what speeds you guys use with certain things... AIO? SG? SMR? #7? GEPC? All that stuff.
 
From what Ive read on here, people tend to use it at 4 or 4.5....Im new to it myself. Regardless of what anyone says, whatever your comfortable and productive with is going to be your optimum speed. Some polishes and cleaners will work better with a higher speed, due to the heat generated.



Thats the fun thing about detailing i guess, schools' always in session.....you learn something new with just about every car...:xyxthumbs
 
For any sort of polishing work, I use 6. If I were to spread glaze or wax, I would use 4, as you are using the PC just to spread it thinly. But you need a bit of a higher speed to break down the abrasives in SMR, #9, etc.
 
For polishing: (#9, GEPC, 3M Polishes, AIO)

Start at 4 with some pressure then work up to 5 still with pressure and then as polish starts to dry 5-6 with no pressure.



For glazing: (#7)

(Work at 4-5 until product starts to dry with no pressure.



For waxing (Sealant): (SG, #20)

Work at 4 with no pressure and go over area twice.



For waxing (carnuaba) (#26,LS)

Work at 3-4 and just cover the area. No need to work the product.



(The PC will not create swirls but you can remove them with alittle work and the right products.)



I am not an expert but this is my experience and I have had great results. I love my PC. Good Luck! :wavey



Long live the PC!!!!!!!
 
I just saw that... GEPC and AIO are generally considered to be non abrasive (or close to that), right? Why would you do that? I thought it was more of an on/off thing.
