Finished my first PC detail
Whew! Man, what a workout! I started my first detail (on my truck) with my new PC at 0630 and didn`t finish it all until 1330! I guess I went rather slow to make sure I got it right. This is what I did:
wash
clay
PC and Hi-Temp Light Cut with white polish pad
UPP
wash tires and dress with Meguiars gel
vacuum and wipe down interior
windows
Not too many steps and I guess I should have used the UPC, but I thought I`d never finish. My truck looks better than when it was new. Let me ask you guys a few time-base questions:
1. How long do you clay in one spot? Just a couple of strokes back and forth or what?
2. When polishing with the PC, how much product you use and does the quantity matter? Some spots I used more than others, so it took longer to work.
3. In a 2`x2` area (or even 3`x3`), how long should I spend polishing? I guess it depends on how much you squirt on the pad.
Any speed tips would be helpful.

Don answered your other questions by pointing you to `Steve L`s` guide on using the PC. A great read and very informative...
Regarding claying, I clay until I`ve removed the contaminates. This might involve a few strokes back and forth or it might call for 10 strokes back and forth... Sometimes I have to clay in one area for quite awhile if I`m removing overspray, fallout, or raildust.
