I want to apply Pinnacle Paintwork cleaner with my porter cable 7424. I'm not really an expert at detailing yet but I'm pretty good for an average detailer. My question is would i be able to use my paint cleaner with a white lake country pad and if so, what speeds?

Thanks

white LC pad is nice choice. You'll likely use machine around polish speeds which is full tilt.

I have found it to work best with an LC black pad at speed 6.

grey pad (LC) is slightly less abrasive, as is a finishing pad. I think of white as general purpose.

ok but would KAIO still clean the paint with a less abrassive pad?

If your paint is soft(honda)I would not use anything stronger than a grey pad.Since your new with the pc I think you should try it with a grey pad first to be on the safe side.
