how often with a PC and #83

this is nearly a rhetorical question to some, but i'd like to know how often i can do this. i don't need to do it at the current moment, but i have noticed a few spots on the car that got a few light scratches that need to be PC'd out.
 
You can do it as often as you *need* to but if you do it correctly the first time and protect and maintenance it like you should, there really is no need to use #83 any more frequent than once every six months or so.....unless of course you need to get a scratch or something out.
 
I've had my car for 1.5 years now. Honda, black paint. Paint is in pretty good condition. Should I still use DACP, if at least once on the car? If not, can I just use Megauir's #82, Vanilla Moose, Carnauba Moose Wax? Thanx.
 
Always try to keep one thing in mind when detailing, and that's to try to use the *least* aggressive method possible to attain your goal. That being said, #83 is pretty much one of the most aggressive steps you can take to remove defects. If your car is in very good condition (no matter the age), and you really don't need to remove any defects, then I would say not to use it. You can use a much milder polish and bring back your like new shine again without having to be quite so aggressive.



Of course, you can use anything you want. If you just want to see what #83 will do to your car's finish, by all means, try it out. The only way to learn to try things out and learn from trial and error. You definitely can't *hurt* anything, so it's perfectly fine to experiment.



If you don't feel you need #83 quite yet, your list of products looks very good and if you want to try out #83, then just substitute #82 for #83 and try it.
 
i use 83 on a polishing pad on all my new cars and i find it very good at removing light to medium swirls and it doesnt seem to be too aggresive for me with the polishing pad (cutting pad is a different story) dont worry it wont mess up your paint, to cut through your clear coat with 83 would be very hard unless you were trying too.
