Took the plunge and bought a porter cable from autopia the other week....had a go with it saturday for the first time. Was a bit wary of marking the paint so took it steady, but have to say very impressed with the results! Removed most of the various defects (swirls, minor scratches etc) from the paint. Method used:
1. Rinsed with Karcher and washed with two bucket method using Poorboys Super Slick and Suds. Wheels cleaned using Meg's Wheel Brightner diluted 5:1
2. Dried using Poorboys Waffle Weave Towel. (Didnt clay as this was done the other week)
3. SSR2 using SFX2 pad
4. SSR1 using SFX2 pad
5. Clearkote Vanilla Moose Glaze using SFX3 pad and removed using buffing bonnet
6. P21S Carnauba Wax applied by hand and removed using buffing bonnet.
7. Tyres dresssed using Poorboys Bold n Bright
8. Glass cleaned using AG Glass Polish
9. Trim blackened using Megs NXT Tech Protectant.
And then it rained, literally after I'd put the hose away!
Any pointers on how to improve, please let me know....all comments appreciated!
