    In those 12 hours cure time, wont the car get dirty? Do I have to wash it again or can I just straight up apply wax?

    My process is applying the wax or sealant at night then do a coat of wax again in the morning. Shouldn't get dirty sitting there usually. Especially in a garage.

    I worked today with fg 400 on bmw 5 series 2001. It was my firs job with good compound and some wool pads and i found that the paint was very hard to correct.

    Unkonown rotary mashine don't know if this can be a big problem.

    Tried menzerna wool pad it dusted a lot I get nervous because i heard that menzerna doesnt dust.

    Could not work with menzerna hard pad it was really hard to work with that very hard pad.

    Finished the job with menzerna medium pad and got let say 70% correction on very swirled and scrached paint.

    When I finished the job tried one more time will wool and wanted 95% correction I got that 95% correction but again dusting.

    Someone used menzerna pads how they compare to others. I liked a lot the medium pad .

    Every section I did i checked the pain for heat, It was not very heat or just a litle heat can I go up a litle with the speed because the mashine is uqnknown I dont know how much speed I can use it's like 10, 13, 16, until 28. I work with 16 when I went to 19 it dusted a litle even with medium pad.

    I worked the polish enough but didn't notice that from milky to transparent finish. I stopped the polishing cycle sometimes when th polish was hazzed sometimes when I worked longer i got that finished polish on paint when i even didnt need a microfiber.

    Thanks a lot for reading and helping.

    What machine are you working with? Rotary?

    Could you list what machine, pads, and how you are working them?

    Either style machine equipped with a wool pad and FG400 will not have any problems cutting through hard paint provided my technique is followed.

    For the most part Menzerna will not dust or dusts in very small quantities. Usually the result of using a brand new never used pad or over saturating the pad with product. Once you get in the sweet spot so to speak, dusting should be non existent.

    If you are working the polish so long that there is nothing left to wipe off you have gone completely through the working cycle and possibly instilled holograms.

    Would it be possible to get some Hybrid pads?

    Also where are you located?

    Not knowing the speed capabilities of the machine is a problem. FG400 absolutley does not like to be run above 1200 rpm. This is the source of your dusting.

    Tried menzerna wool pad it dusted a lot I get nervous because i heard that menzerna doesnt dust.

    When I finished the job tried one more time will wool and wanted 95% correction I got that 95% correction but again dusting.

I work with 16 when I went to 19 it dusted a litle even with medium pad.
    I have not used any Menzerna pads. Again, do not exceed 1200 rpm.

    Thanks a lot for reading and helping.
    I am here to help. Don't hesitate to ask further questions.

    Best Regards,
    Mike

    I would very much like that. When do you plan on putting it together?

    Is there any dvd from Mike@AG that explains this?

    Not that I am aware of.
