PC on New Car

Hey everyone!



I realize that we always talk about using the PC on cars that already need paint correction/swirl removal, but what about on new cars?



Is there anyone here that will not use a PC on a brand new car?



Just curious??
 
I have seen brand new cars "swirled to perfection" by the dealer's new car prep people prior to delivery, so the answer id yes!



On the same note ..a friend of mine brought his Toyota Sequoia in for an oil change and a minor warranty repair. he emphatically stated to the service writer that he did not want the vehicle washed, had the writer put it on the service order and even made a sign which he placed on the dashboard...they washed it and it looked like they used a broom! :angry



He bought a PC and is waiting for his kit from CMA to arrive, he has asked me to show him how to use it!
 
Thanks for the reply!



I know that the service departments are notorious for putting scratches into the new cars. I just bought a new car on the weekend for the wife. I made sure that the dealer did not scratch or swirl the car.



I want to put the first coat of polish, glaze and wax on the car this weekend but I am a little hesitant on using the PC to do it.
 
Yeah, I met a guy last night and he was complaining about how crappy his paint looks on his civic compaired to my shiney beast :D I have 12,000 miles and he has 8,000 and his looks horrible. Money for me to detail it though :D
 
You can definitely use a PC with the right pads and products on a new or nearly flawless paint job, without making things worse.



You might just want to try a simple, very gentle combination of GEPC (or a glaze such as Meg's #7) and P21S wax. Use the PC and a polishing pad for the GEPC, then apply the P21S with a Meguiar's foam hand pad, and wipe it off immediately with a good MF towel (no need to let the wax haze, it's literally wax on, wax off).



If you are at all nervous about this, you can test a small hidden area first, like a door jamb.



Keep in mind that no matter what you decide, you will need to wash and dry the car first, and that's where many swirls are initially introduced, so be sure to use proper techniques at that stage as well.
