Side skirts/Ground effects question...

Just got my PC from AG last week, unfortunately the weather has been a little chilly to test it out but I have a question. I have a new Mazdaspeed 3 hatch with side skirting/ground effects and I was wondering should that be done by hand or using the PC? If using the PC should I go with a smaller pad because of the way it's shaped? I'm planning on using XMT 360. Any help would be appreciated.

PS - I did search but didn't find any information

Re: Side skirts/Ground effects question...

Hard to say since I don't know exactly what they look like or how tight the space is... smaller pads are generally more manageable and easier to control, but may not be absolutely necessary.

Re: Side skirts/Ground effects question...

also depending on how low to the ground they are it might be easier to hand polish just so you dont smash a pad into the ground with your PC on and ruin the pad.

Those types of panels (rocker panels, lips wrap into wheel wells, under handles, lisence plate recess, etc.) I do by hand.

Thanks for the info, looks like I'll be polishing by hand!
