Ok, I`ve purchased the PC and products and thought I`d ask for any comments/suggestions for my specific situation before I do this for the first time:
Car: 98 Neon - Cherry Red (with decals down the sides) which has been abused (never seen a wax or polish and is full of swirls and a few significant scratches).
Pads: Sonus DAS
Polishes: Sonus SFX-1 and Zaino Z-PC
I still need to read more about proper PC use, but here`s what I`m planning on. Do the entire surface with the more abrasive SFX-1 and the orange pad maybe taking an extra pass or two on the scratches until they disappear. Then hit the entire car again with Z-PC and a green pad to essentially level out and clean up what`s left from the rougher SFX-1. I imagine I`ll have to take care to avoid the decals down the side. Hopefully, it won`t look too dull around the decals. I`m thinking that those dull areas might just blend in. After polishing I`ll be applying the Zaino line of protectants (Z2/Z5 with Z8 in-between).
Does this sound reasonable? Do you think SFX-1 and Z-PC work well in combination?
