einszett polish

[RonTL]

I just ordered some 1zpp, i dont have a pc yet, so ill be using it by hand. How much of greater results can be acheived with the pc than by hand?

[NavindraLR]

most will give different answers, but from my experience, i think the pc gives a better finish, being smoother, and takes out the swirls a lot better than by hand... also, it is quicker obviously. i think you should invest in a pc... u will be very happy with the results...

What he said.

I haven`t taken the plunge for a pc either.



Still do it by hand and it takes me a looooooooong time (SUV).



Have to admit I`m terrified of screwing up my paint.:o



I`ve been lurking here for a year know and I sure am tempted to buy one.......

Get the PC and save yourself physically! About the only way a PC can hurt your paint is to smash the body of the PC into the paint. As long as the pad is touching the paint you will be fine.

I bought 1Z PP before I had a PC and used it on a couple cars with so/so results. Now that I have my PC I get great results. I guess when I used it by hand I wasn`t breaking it down completely. 1Z PP is a great polish very easy to work with, and does a great job of cleaning up the paint. I would, like others have already advised, for you to save your money for a PC. The PC is a great tool, and you`ll wonder how you lived without it. Its worth every penny.

1Z PP is my favorite polish and I would ONLY use it with a PC. There isn`t any way you can mess up your paint with a PC. IMHO, you could probably do more damage by hand than with a PC! Applying anything by hand is very uneven since the amount of pressure constantly changes. If not careful, you will end up with dark and light spots. On the other hand, a PC will keep constant pressure over the entire car giving you an evenly prepped surface, and will allow the polish to do its job better.



Clink on the link in my signature and download the Ebook, it will explain the correct way to use polishes and a detailed section on the PC. Good luck!

I used those for a long time and kick myself all the time now for all the time I wasted using them.

[RonTL]

Yeah, but it has to be quicker than by hand.

Sorry about that, don`t know what happened. It should be working now, try it again. After clicking on the link, a download box should pop up.

Yes, it will probably be quicker but certainly not "better".

I have corrected some minor scratches by hand with PP. Use a cotton cloth and some elbow grease. Nevertheless, a PC works alot better.

I just recieved my PC about 3 weeks ago. I was aprehensive also. After a few practice panels on work truck I was ready to go. It`s so easy and fast. You really would need to do something drastic to screw up your paint. I also just ordered some 1zpp. I`m looking forward to using it, I here its VERY user friendly!

[NavindraLR]

yeah, in my books the 1z is the best... ive tried menzerna, wolfgang, meguiars... all those polishes fall short... and the pc makes it even better... some will disagree, but my opinion is that it provides better results, in half the time
