PC7424 and Menzerna Help

[blytes]

I recently purchased a PC7424 and need some advice. I have a 02' black nissan se-r spec v with a lot of swirls. I plan to first wash with Meguiars NXT, clay and then riinse. Now comes the PC part. I decided on Menzerna, since people tend to say it is great on black. Should I use Mezerna IP with an orange pad, Menzerna FPII with a white pad, and then the Finishing Touch Glaze with a Red pad? Also, which speeds should I use for each menzerna product?
I read peple saying to ease it in with 3 and then step the PC to 6, but should I do that for all the menzerna steps?

I have:
2 7.5" Lake Counrty Orange Power Pads
2 7.5" Lake Counrty Red Polishing Pads
1 6.5" Lake Counrty White Pad
Menzerna Intensive Polish
Menzerna Final Polish II
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze

I think your plan sounds find just the way it is. Slow passes @ 6 and some pressure with the IP and orange pad.

i use the menzerna IP with a yellow cutting pad,
FPII with a white polishing pad and then my sealant / wax with a gray finishing pad,

you can even go from IP to your sealant, I have done this before,
and the most recent time i detailed my camaro, i went from IP to vanilla moose ( glaze ) then to a sealant

When you say sealant, do you mean like a wax? I get a little confused when ppl talk about sealants as opposed to wax. I plan to use the Collinite 845 after I apply the glaze. Is that ok?

i still get confused myself,

sealant - synthetic polymer protectant
wax - more along the lines of a carnauba

i hope i do not upset the autopian gods

collinite will be fine

I think sealants actually bond to your paint while waxes just layer your paint... I think.
