[Accumulator]

By Cyclo/PC (or with the rotary first) either

3M PI-III RC (05933) with cutting, then polishing pad
3M PI-III MR (05937) with polishing pad

or

1Z Ultra with cutting
1Z PP with cutting then polishing
1Z MP (Pro) with polishing

No huge preferences in pads, usually Cyclo, Lake, or Meg's.
I use a lot of other stuff, but those are my standard approaches.

Can't wait to try this combo out next week. Already tried the MG with good results. The RC should tackle my swirls in a more timely manner though.

Regardless of what I start out with, I ALWAYS end the polishing process with Menzerna FP.

[hirosh]

for swirls/scratches:
pc - SSR 2.5 w/cutting pad
pc - SSR 1 w/polishing pad, if needed to remove hazing from the 2.5

for general polishing:
pc - SSR 2 w/polishing pad
pc - SSR 1 w/polishing pad, again if needed

all speeds are between 5 and 6
all pads are LC pads
