my plan was to wake up early & get everything done today so that i could maybe add a layer of two of Klasse SG tomorrow and maybe a layer of wax before the `skins game
i had planned on washing, claying, 3M FI-II &/or 3M SMR followed by Klasse AIO/SG, all of this w/ a Porter Cable which I`m using for the first time ever :eek:
well, as all well thought out plans go, my first problem: i overslept:rolleyes: ; so i wash my car & start claying & that takes about an hr & a half:o ; needless to say i didn`t have time to finish, what i did do was polish my hood & half of my roof w/ FI-II/SMR & use SMR on my right front fender, all followed by a single layer of AIO by hand
this leads me to my first question/issue: i think i may been using an inappropriate amount of FI-II (how do you know if you`re using too much/too litte?) also, how hard are you supposed to press on the PC? i think i may have put too much of the FI-II on my hood b/c it never really "hazed through" or dried up; i actually had to dry it off w/ a terry cloth (however the center of my pad always remained dry (i.e., no product)
on my hood i actually added/used SMR on top of the still moist FI-II which leads me to my 2nd problem; after i started doing so, i remembered you`re not supposed to mix pads, did i do this step incorrectly?
my last question would be what do i do tomorrow? just complete the parts of the car i haven`t completed (after another wash)?
