Just got my PC 7424 Poorboy's and Pinnacle

Budman,

It was because of your detailed product information that I chose to go with poorboy's.

That and I am very satisfied with the product I ordered on my first order - The soap!

so you were able to do some paint correction using 6.5" pads with the PC? I seem to be having trouble using the bigger pads with the PC. Maybe it is me . . . someone suggested that i use smaller pads. Got any pictures of what you did?

The car is a 2007. Some of the paint transfer and parking garage rash had to be gone over with a rotary along with a bumper scratch courtesy of a car wash vacuum hose. The rest of the car had minimal (very light scratches) However, I was successful with three passes on some considerable scratches on a lower drivers side panel causes by a car wash brush. start to finish I have half a bottle of SSR 2.5 and two days of labor into it. Orange pads were a must. I wasted a lot of time and product by pressing to hard bogging the rotation. Things went a lot smoother when I stopped trying to muscle it.
I do not have before and after photo's but I will take some this weekend after another fresh coat of SSII.

There were some very light swirls on the top of the car that I intend to remove this winter. I too am anxious to try the smaller pads given the reviews read here, but I was able to do what I would consider to be a lot of correction with the larger pads.

Great tips! I was applying too much pressure and getting no where fast. I quit strong arming it and things went a-lot smoother. The black pad with SSR 1 was nearly useless. Changed to white. I will just have to wonder how much better it would have looked with a finishing glaze until winter when I start all over again.

Polish was quite a bit slower than I thought it would be. I still had to break out the rotary on a couple of scratches left from vacuuming at the local car wash (hose). I really expected a lot less dusting. May have had something to do with the weather ( 98 and steamy) I'll be adding a more aggressive polish to compliment these two.

You all have been so helpful, any suggestions on a glaze and more polish? - I've got three more cars to go!

And something to remove the polish from the black plastic!

Get the 4" pads for sure and some Menz 106 or SIP for more correction.

I feel another order squeezing my wallet! what about the Menz German gloss combo?

[Rsurfer]

Didnt see it. What is it?

[sataura]

It includes the Nano 106FF and Wolfgang sealant. Will I need more Menz polishes? Next car is the 2008 Saturn Aura in Midnight blue.
I used pinnacle PCL and uncovered some hidden filler scratches from the dealer. I have owned the car two months. I would like to just do some spot polishing, sealant then two coats of NB.

My daughter is coming back from England this weekend so I will not be able to spend much time on the cars this weekend, but plan to hit it hard the next weekend.

It would be ideal to have the right products on hand before I resume.
