I have a PC 7336 and getting more familiar with it each day. Used it on a 5 or 6 cars this week with just one step product and stock foam pad. Today I got a shipment of pads in (LC 6.5 Orange, White, Black and LC 7.5 Green) plus two Hi Temp products (Scratch Remover Medium Cut and Swirl Remover Light Cut). Since my truck (Black 1988) is in horrible shape mainly on top surfaces, I decided to practice on that. Minor oxidation is present but surface is dull from thousands of small scratches. I had used a one step and stock foam this week with next to no help. I've seen vehicles with bad oxidation before but never so many scratches. I only used the 6.5" pad and started with the White Polishing pad and the HT Light Cut. Worked a 2 x 2' section with very little improvement. I put on the Orange Cutting pad and tried again with same product. Little better but not much. Ended up with Orange Pad and HT Medium Cut. Worked half the hood for about an hour and looked like new paint. Followed with White Pad HT Light Cut. Black pad and an express wax that I had. Lastly a 3m paste by hand. Looked amazing. 15 years I've done everything by hand and never have obtained result like I did. I have some questions though.
I reloaded the pad at least 6 times, wiping down the half in between. I worked in figure 8, straight lines both side to side and up and down, doing this many times. I ran the PC at 6 most of the time. Question I have is after I've covered the panel and gone over it several times should I stop wipe and add more or keep going till product starts to fade or dry. When I finally cut out enough scratches I could clearly tell the product was going on much smoother.
I don't mind spending a couple hours on the hood and roof but could I speed it up. Possibly the medium cut is not agressive enough. Would it have been easier to wet sand with 2000 or use a heavy compound by hand and then buff out the sand scratches?
Tomorrow my PB stuff arrives and I'll have SSR 2 to start. Any idea how it compares with the HT stuff I have. Wondering if it's more agressive or less agressive.
