New PC-XMT

[rskeen]

Just got my PC in the mail and really looking forward to using it...but i am not sure exactly what or how to use it.

I have a Ford F-150 (2005). it is in very good shape, but has some swirls marks and spider webbing from everyday washing. There are really no major scratches just those swirls i really would love to get rid of. I have the XMT #2, #1 , finishing glaze and Pinnacle Soveraun Paste wax (spl ?)- along with a orange, white and grey finishing pad, micro bonnet and sheepskin bonnet.

What is the best to use on my truck? I am new at this and really want my truck to look good, but do not want to mess it up.
Thanks so much for the help.

Here is what i was able to do with ONE pass of the XMT3 on yellow pad. Dont be afraid of XMT3. It is an excelent product, and can serve as a heavy cut on yellow and med cut on orange LC pads Also when putting presure on the PC, put it on the head, not the handle. I hold it almost sideways with my right hand on the head and my left guiding the PC.



And after following up with the rest of the xmt line:

Nice job, ryandamartini. Like you, I'm impressed with the XMT line.

Me too! The more I use it the more I love it! The XMT 3 is awesome. It has cut but yet it finishes practically LSP ready! Amazing stuff!

always a professional result, even for a newbie like me.

I love the XMT products. I use them all the time. XMT3 is not to be afraid of. It works so good with a cutting pad. If you do it right, you can go straight to the LSP with it!
