I have a 2003 BMW 325Ci. Let`s say I`d like to do half the trunk lid with Z-PC and my Porter-Cable. I have a fresh pad on hand. How much Z-PC do I put in the pad?



I have heard everything from 2-3 to 10 "pea-sized drops". But with a dry pad, it seems like that much will simply be absorbed by the foam. Do you need to put more product on the pad when you`re first getting started?



Also, how do I know when the Z-PC has finished breaking down? I see people talking about "when it turns clear" - but isn`t it mostly clear from the start? Or do they mean clear as in nearly invisible?

Start out with a spritz of Z6 on the pad. Apply 3-4 pea sized drops on the pad and like you said work it till its "clear as in nearly invisible."

I mist the pad with Z6 and add about 6 to 8 dots in various positions on the pad. I also tend to work a little larger sections than others.
