How long should this polish take to break down? I musta done 6 slow passes and 6 moderately fast passes for every area I did. And When I mean slow, I was moving as slow as a slug.



I worked on my truck for 7 hours straight with no breaks yesterday and was extremely satisfied with the results.



I only accomplished one coating of polish, and did not wax since I did not have time. Worked from 3 PM to 10 PM at night on a school day.



I was scared It might cause marring if I did not let it break down properly so I worked it in as long as I could.



I think I worked it in longer than necessary though.



Now my mother, father, and neighbors think I have an crazy obsession. :waxing: :D



oh yeah, Im a newb. and Menzerna is a GREAT GREAT GREAT POLISH when working with the PC 7424



I tried scratchX on my tailgate, and will never use this product again with a PC (new improved formula). It caused marring, was too thin to work with a PC, and dusted like crazy. The plan was to use scratchX before FP2, but I found out that FP2 got the job done. ScratchX prior to FP2 was completely unnecessary.



Thanks to all who got me started, and thanks to those who recommended Menzerna.

Time will vary - temperature, humidity, speed, speed of movement, pressure, pad & paint all play a factor on "how long to work the polish in". You need to know what the polish looks likes when it's broken down so you don't under or over work the polish.



Here is FP breaking down http://autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/47155-polish-break-down-stages.html



and my website has videos using FP/PO85RD too.





Here is what I do with any new polish I use for the first time · Using good lighting



* Using a 1'x1' section - apply the polish the same as any other polish

* using little pressure and speed 4.5 - 5 work the polish in.

* At each change in the polish I remove a section and see how the paint looks

* repeat at each change until very little or no hazing is present (this will very depending on the abrasiveness of the polish).



The reason for speed 4.5-5 and little pressure is, it goes through the stages slower so you can determine when it's brokendown without under or over working the polish. Now you know what it looks like when it's broken down you can increase the speed, pressure, etc. to get the job done.
