using an orbital

[Blackmirror]

I got an old 9" orbital that I'll use for now until I get a PC. Can anyone give me some tips on how to use it right and how to apply the polish or sealant. I'm gonna use a foam pad to apply UPP. Or just give me a link on how to use an orbital

From what I've learned, those old large polishers can be harmful to your paint unless you're an expert. And so I am not using the one I have. I am told that even my kid can do a great job without ruining the paint with a PC 7424.

Cheers.

Just use that orbital like a PC. It may not perform like a PC, but handling and general usage should be the same. An orbital is an orbital. Bretfraz (and others too) used to use one for years and years before graduating to the PC.



Do a more recent search for DavidB's PC use video (sorry, I misplaced the link somewhere...).

Also, go to Griot's Garage and download their PDF file on how to use the PC.



Between the two of those you should have enough info to go on. Good luck.
