alright heres what i got.http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-daspol-kit.html and http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-450.html

i never used a PC before but i have an old RX-7 to practice on before i go to my baby.i would appreciate any tips or susgestions from you pros out there.all i really have on my daily driver are light swirl marks so i plan on using the orange DAS pad w/ the swirlbuster polish.spread it at about 3 and the work the polish in at 5.than do the same w/the blue pad and some 3M hand glaze before i put some sealant on.that sound right?
 
if you only have light swirls, you should try a white pad first...step up to the orange if the white doesn't do it. remember to always start w/ the least aggressive and work your way up (general rule w/ polishing).



i haven't used the sonus swirlbuster polish, but imagine it should work just fine.



i recommend claying the vehicle as well, if you haven't done that recently (after washing but before polishing)
 
I haven't used the swirlbuster polish yet, but what you plan to do sounds about right since the swirlbuster pad is also orange. Don't be afraid to go up to speed 6 if needed. You should also clay first, and I'd skip the glaze if you're going to use a sealer because of bonding issues.
 
Sounds good.



I haven't used the swirlbuster polish before. I believe it has fillers to help hide swirls. Not a bad thing, I just prefer to actually remove all of the swirls rather than hide them. Also haven't used the 3m hand glaze.



But, the PC process sounds fine. You may want to clay before the polish if it needs it. Also, don't be afraid to crank the PC up to 6 if 5 isn't cutting it.



EDIT: Wow, that's some simultaneous posting there. :chuckle:

No, don't use that one, use the green pad that comes in your kit. Often a "white" pad is a polish pad, but not in the Sonus kit that you ordered.

Don't use that pad! Use a white polishing pad from LC, Sonus, Propel, etc.
 
The white pad for the sonus would be the green one. That kit its Orange-Toughest, Green-Med, Blue-Final polishing wont take out any swirls/defects. So use the green pad 1st if that doesnt cut it use the orange pad. The swirl buster is suppose to be a 3 step process it says by the 3rd time using it you wont have swirls. I just got some to test out. But I like getting them out the first time. I will see how it goes.
