ok i just got a vector machine polisher and last thing i want to do is even leave swirl marks or brun through paint on my practice cars. herers what i gathered for steps
1. i wash car with my
meguiars mit and body brush and spot wash all bug spots and tar spots till car is spotless
2. dry with my leather chamois and or microfiber towels
3.clay bar it
4. look at and feel paint then start off with finest polish and pad
5. working at low speeds with a polishing pad and finest polish needed work in a 2ft by 2ft sqaure
6. apply polish to pad all away around about 1" from perimeter then dab on the area of car working.
7. laying pad flat on car and start at a low rpm and move buffer back and forth at low speeds
8. then use finishing pad to buff off left over residue/haze
I need any other tips and exactly what pads and polish i should purchase and use. Also is it vital to go in a figure 8 pattern with the polisher or is it safe to go north/south east/west and about rate of speed of moving buffer back in forth is acceptable as you dont want to slow or too fast
