Do you go left to right then right to left, then whipe-off and go top to bottom and bottom to top then whipe off? Thats how I did it and get good results just curious if I`m doing it wrong. |
First off, I'd say if you're getting good results then it's sort of hard to call your technique "wrong"! Having said that, I've not heard of anyone wiping off product between the r-l/l-r and t-b/b-t movements. Usually, and this is the way I was taught, you want to move the way you've described but there really isn't a need to wipe off until you've basically used up the product as the manufacturer intended. For #80 that is taking it down to basically a clear film. #80 can be worked for a good long time, and it should be because of its diminishing abrasives. In fact, after working in the two directions you state, I add a 45 degree angle movement over the area.
As for hand speed, I was moving at maybe 2-5" per second depending on how severe the damage was on a given area. Because the PC doesn't impart the heat that a rotary does you really need to let the product have time to do its work.
Still, you must be doing something right if you're happy with your results! I wasn't on my first couple of attempts.
