Pinnacle ASR + Edge Yellow

[OafyC]

This should be a pretty heavy cutting combo shouldn't it? I just used it on my Blue G6. It had swirl marks and small scratches that didn't seem deeper than the swirls. I got most of the swirls out, but there are still quite a bit left in places. Does my car just have a hard clear or am I doing something wrong? I know you can't tell without seeing what I'm doing.

I started with the orange pad, then the green, and finally switched to the yellow. I think I am using enough pressure, just a little less than what causes the PC to bog down.

It also seemed like, even with the yellow pad, the ASR finished very well. I used the AFP with the blue pad and didn't really notice a difference.

The advanced swirl remover is a pretty aggresive polish that can be enhanced with speed and pad choice to become super abrasive. When used in the past with an orange LC pad , you need to repolish with the lighter pinnacle final polish and a grey pad to remove some light micromarring.

I agree with killer

make sure to work in with speed 5 with FIRM pressure on the PC. Make sure you are putting pressure straight down on the head, not from the side.

speed 6 and slow overlapping motions.... give it time to work.

Speed 6 on the full working in process? I was always told it was too much and weakened the work time..

I've used a few swirl removers/compounds on speed 6. You need to be careful though. The head vibrates/giggles so much I can only to a panel at a time.

5.5 is much better.

Since it was my first time with the PC, I split the doors in half. Lets say I was doing half of a door, with Pinnacle ASR. How long on average would it take to break down? I heard it was broken down when it starts to get almost a 3D look. I get that much quicker than I would think it would take.

On average, 5 minutes. The polish will turn almost white/clear when it's done. Most users cannot see it unless they are using professional type lighting.

Thanks guys. I will try again with a little more pressure and give it more time.
