GEPC/SEPC application tips

Does anyone use a PC to apply GEPC/SEPC. It seems like it's more a glaze and has very minor abrasives in it. I used this stuff last week but it was of a rub in with the applicator and then wipe off with the MF. Topped it with P21S wax and what a shine. The depth was great also.



I may just use the RO with the GEPC/SEPC next week and see is there any huge results. I was impressed already with just the wipe on/wipe off.
 
I've used it several times, and used the PC every time (white polishing pad, moderate speed); worked great. Call me lazy, but if I have a chance to use a power tool rather than doing something by hand . . . well, point me to the outlet.

I'm with Tortoise on this one. A glaze is just so much more easier to use by RO than by hand.



I used P21S paintwork cleanser on the black Thunderbird with the PC and a white polishing pad at speed 3.5-4. Minimal to no pressure, just gliding the glaze back and forth until hazey but not powder dry. Then buffed off and follwoed by a hand application of P21S wax.



The speed yellow Mustang was the same procedure but with the Pinnacle line (Pinnacle Paintwork cleansing lotion and Pinnacle Souveran paste wax.)

I'm all about using the PC and a foam polishing or finishing pad with the PC to bring out the gloss in a finish. I tried by hand but it just takes too long and doesn't get the results I expect.
 
When applying GEPC/SEPC with the PC do you only do one panel at a time before buffing or can you do the whole car before buffing.
 
I apply it to a panel at a time and remove. I just don't want the GEPC or SEPC to dry. I've heard it can be a PIA to buff out if let to dry, but I never experienced the stuff drying before.
 
I work one panel at a time until it looks like I'm pushing a light haze around.

Buff dry with a MF, take a sip of something cold and move on to the next panel.



Good luck.
 
The only way I've applied GEPC is with a PC. Like Tortoise and Jason, 1 panel at a time at moderate speed.
 
I've used it by hand and with my PC. One panel at a time either way and I always mist the pad with a little water every now and then.
 
I've used it both ways and must say that applying with the PC is much faster. The only thing is that I seem to use way too much product when I apply it with the PC.



Does anyone have a suggestion that will help me use less product when applying SEC by PC?
 
As fuggedit said, spray the pad with a little bit of distilled water will help cut back on the use of SEC.



I also like to put a quarter sized dab on the pad and spread it around with my finger, more than enough for half a normal sized hood.



As you keep applying it to the car, the pad should load up and you use less and less.
