First Time With PC

I'm getting ready to remove VERY light swirls on my S-10 which is dark blue. I bought the 2000 Edge green and white pads and PB ssr1 and ssr 2.5. After I wash and clay the paint should I try the green pad and ssr1 first and if this doesn't remove the swirls go to the ssr 2.5? Could you walk me through each step using the above ? Thank you!

Always start with the least aggresive, and then move up if you need more cutting power.

Start off with power setting 3 to apply the polish with moderate weight, and then turn up the speed (around 5 or 6) and lower the pressure on the PC to get that final shine. Also, you'll want to move the PC at a normal pace under initial polishing, and then move quicker with the higher speeds. hope this helps..

I finished my first experience using the PC and I am impressed! The paint on my S10 looks the BEST it ever has and most of the swirls are gone! I am very impressed with the Edge 2000 pad system using PB. Wish I had a few pics but I don't!
