yesterday was my first experience using the pc... i started with the edge orange pad and xmt2 and i didnt really see an improvement but i think i was going to fast with too little pressure. so i tried xmt 3 with yellow. i thought it was the next cut to orange but come to find out it wasnt. i got all the marring from that out but did i shave off a good bit of clear coat?
also when i went back with xmt 1 i couldnt get rid of some very fine marring. what do i do. sorry i dont have any pics of it. color is black.
Did you try the XMT2 to remove the marring? You may have to step it down from 3 to 2 to 1 and like Sparkie asked what pad did you use? You may need a pad with more cutting power and then you could remove the marring with the XMT1. Mike...
Work the product on AVERAGE for 5 minutes, and apply pressure until the head stops spinning. When this happens, gently lift off, and continue using that pressure.
Lots of pressure and SLOW movement is the key to success!
thank you. i will try that next weekend. i didnt think it was going to ware me out this bad. i was expecting to be tired but not sore. i guess i will get used to it. thanks once again.
Maybe try the blue or orange pad with the XMT1. I use the LC pads and PB SSR1, 2.5, 3 and what I do to save time and products some times is on the final pass with PB ssr2.5 and a orange LC pad I move the PC a little faster and with no pressure applied. This technique makes the brokedown 2.5 act as a polish so that I really dont have to use the next step in polish. Mike...
