Hey everyone.
I just bought a PC, and I have the Excel Plate/Pad kit on order...What products should a beginning PC user buy for light/medium swirl removal?
Possible choices include PB`s SSR (1 and 2? 2.5?) and Meg`s DACP. Have any other reccomendations?
How does Wash>Clay>Wash>???>AIO>SG sound?
Also, would you reccomend to begin applying the AIO with the PC? Which pad?

Hi-Temp Light Cut leveler. Great product, and really cheap too. No need to follow up with a finer polish. If the light cut does not get all the swirls out, you can always step up to the medium cut.

Thanks Brad. Where can one purchase this from?
edit: is topoftheline.com the best/cheapest place?

No problem. Top of the Line.com carries it.
Most folks here who use PB`s use SSR 2.5 and 1 and don`t bother with 2.0. Some have even been able to go directly from 2.5 to their LSP while others step down and polish any micromarring from 2.5 with 1.
On the Megs side, #83 is used for the more difficult swirls, etc. while #80 can be used for light/medium defects (depending on the pad used). If you`re going to go the Megs route, I`d certainly suggest you buy #80 ... it`s pretty versatile.

80 is the speed glaze right?
Thanks Tom!

I can explain why he might want to try the Hi-Temp line. Easy to use, great results, economical, and uses chemical abrasives that leave no swirls.

Yes the Light Cut is a great product, I use it from time to time and the results are always tops.
My other choice would be Optimum Polish or IP

DACP followed by FPII. Autopia has DACP on clearance and it is a very good deal for 32 oz. Just tape off and you`ll have no problems.

Sorry ... yes, #80 is the Speed Glaze.
Denzil talked about going with PB`s SSRs ... they are sun friendly while the Megs (especially #83) are not. Here`s a thread (http://autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53229) on that subject.

I`d suggest Mothers Power Polish- easy to work with and wipes away with ease

Poorboy`s SSR 2.5/1 and Menzerna IP/FP.
Both work great via PC but when I first started, I was able to use the Menzerna twins by hand with some success.

Is Menzerna IP any less aggressive than PB`s 2.5? I`ve seen charts that have claimed this.
