PC on 6 = kicks butt!

[SOG35]

I finally got a chance to polish my car yesterday. I started with SSR2.5 with cut pad. I set it at 3 to spread the product and then increased to 5. I checked the results, I was a bit disappointed. My luck with the PC hasn`t been to great so far.

I thought I had nothing to lose so i deceided to polish the same area again. But this time I hit 6 by mistake. For some reason I have been always afraid of using 6! I noticed the product worked into the paint so much faster. After checking my progress again I was amazed! So this is why the PC is such a hit.

I finished the rest of the hood with SSR2.5 and then SSR1 with polish pad, again finished it on level 6. Finally put a coat of EX-P (by hand).

Wow! My black G35 never looked better! I only did this treetment on my hood and fenders. The black was so deep and swirl free.

Don`t be affraid of 6! It is about the only speed I use for polishes. :lol

Ya learn something new everyday!


Any chance we get to see your achievements ?

yes I too get the best results on 6. Sometimes I would like a 7 but it`d probably vibrate right out of my hands, fall off the car and take off down the street. lol .
After running on 6 for awhile your hands feel like I`ve been riding a motorcycle for an hour .
Congrats on your detail and new confidence in the PC. Would love to see some pics of the G35. Its on my top 5 list of new cars ..

WEIRD, I can hardly hold mine at speed 6? I put the bigger counter weight on it. It vibrates a lot. Does anyone have that problem. Makes my hand all tinglely.

GreenMachine- What size pads and backing plate are you using?

:lol 6 is great for SSR2.5 but I`d slow it down a little for the SSR1

Man, maybe I should jump into the 6 bandwagon too. I always reluctant go upto 5.5. I`m give a shot this weekend(if no snow storm)

There are some products with some pads that I use speed six with great success. Sometimes those same products on a different pad at speed six create marring.
As with everything, try a small area first to make sure what you are doing is producing the results you are looking for and not creating problems that might be difficult to correct.

i believe its a 6" backing plate and a 6 1/2
" pad. I got the combo from TOTL. 121111111111111

Poorboy, what speed do you recommend for SSR1 with polish pad? And I`m just wondering if it is possible to use SSR2.5 with polish pad. Right now I`m using Lake Country pads and the yellow cut pad is giving a little more hazing then I`d like.

btw I love your products! Especially the SSR line and EX-P. Love that you can use it in the sun!

I`d use it at 4.5-5 ...if you feel comfortable go higher when using SSR1 ...SSR2.5 works great with a polishing pad, and at a speed of 6 will leave no haze...even in the sun ...also try EX-P with the finishing pad at a speed of 3-4 for your first coat, then lay a second coat at either 1-2 or by hand
