SSR1

AIO

P21S

Use the higher speeds for your compunds and polishes, middle speed (4-5ish) for sealants (a la AIO) and lower speeds (2-4) for waxes and LSP`s. :xyxthumbs:

There is no reason to go to speed 6 with an LSP.

Paul,

I haven`t tried it before, but how would you think that speed would affect the application of pure carnubas?

I don`t know, I`ve never tried it either. The higher speeds on the PC are for working in a product like a polish or cleaner. You don`t need to "work in" an LSP. All you need to do is cover the surface with it. So any low speed is perfectly adequate. The higher speeds wouldn`t have any advantage with LSPs that I can see.

I work most polishes at a speed of 5 and sometimes go up to 6 on the last slow pass to make sure I break the abrasives down. Products like VM and AIO, I use a speed of 5 and 4.5 to apply NXT Wax.

Thanks for the info!

Hopefully the weather will be nice this weekend, will try to post some pics. Heard that we`re suppose to get more some tomorrow.
