During yesterday`s detailing meet, one of the Max owners picked up a Makita 9227c and 2 3M Pads (Compounding and finishing) and the Meguiar`s Polishing Pad.
I assembled the buffer for him and advised him that he needs to practice on a beater car before taking the buffer to his Max.
However, I showed him what can be done with it on a supercharged Maxima. I took some Menzerna Intensive Polish and applied iit using the 9227c and the 3M compounding pad.
I did the right front corner and the front bumper (I used PI III Light Cut Rubbing Compound on the bumper). I set the Makita on the second notch after 2 (roughly 1200 RPM) and gave it to the owner for him to use on his car (Owner is experienced in using a rotary).
The results had the owner :D because he was actually able to see the pearlescent effect in the paint.
However, I`d like to know how to apply product to the pad properly on a rotary. I put dots around the pad (four on the outside, one center) and spread it around before hitting the switch. I also worked the product until it dried/disappeared.
