hey guys i was wondering wut speed do you guys use to apply sealant.(blackfire) with a PC. Do i apply thin layers first and work it in until almost gone? How fast is my arm speed? I know for polishing you`re suppose to be moving your arm kinda slow to generate heat, but for this is it 3-5 inches per second? I know how to use compound and polish but this is my first time using a sealant, and im trying not to use it with a mf pad either so this is a learning curve for me. thanks guys :thanks

You are trying to "lay down" the sealant, not work it in. So keep the pc on low speed 1-3, and move it around. For this a microfiber applicator would be fine.

You are just trying to spread it evenly so the process is not speed sensitive like correction work so you can move fairly quickly.

Speed 2, just the wait of the pc and nice steady movements.
