Proper use of a random orbital buffer ??

[randyback]

I have a PC and I am now afraid that I have put 3-D swirls into the paint by in-proper use on my new car. Basically, along the sides is were they have appeared.



I have used meguiars pads and have read all the topics on how to use it properly.. I clean the pads with water and let them dry out after using them.



I would just like some tips on how to use it and to make sure I am not going to add any more swirls.

Great video but I have never heard of using the lambs wool pad to apply polish; have always just used the foam pad. What is the advantage of using the wool pad? How do you clean it? Any suggestions and help appreciated.

The wool pad just has even more "bite" to it than the foam pads and David said he used that on the fender because it was in bad shape and had pitting. Wool pads have to be spurred, not ever washed.





Let`s not forget this PC use thread by Alboston in the Articles section: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14213

Don`t forget David`s eBook. It has some excellent info on how to properly use the PC. You can download it from the store (http://autopia-carcare.com/) button at the top of the page. Really good stuff.
