| | | New to the PC
Hello to all,
I recently got the PC and foam pad kit from AG, and would love some input about what pad/polish combo is the best. I have a 2006 Mazda 3 with swirls, hard water spots, and some bird/bug etching. I am planning on using the PC with LC orange and XMT 2, then LC white with wolfgang prewax cleaner, WG paint seal with LC grey, then 12 hrs later with DP MaxWax by hand. Are the pad and polish combos I wanted to use a good idea? If you guys think something else might be better combo, please let me know. Thanks for your help.  |

Thanks for your help. | If lc orange and XMT 2 works than great, if not, you may have to move up to a more aggressive polish such as XMT 3 or 4. I've used them all and favor XMT 360 as an AIO. Try the 2 and see if it works. Good Luck |

| | | nice plan of attack .... I too would stay at orange pad (lc) and vary polish as needed if spots/swirls are not removed. |

| | Congrats on your PC purchase! You're right......LC Orange/XMT2 first, but you may have to bump up to XMT3. I was surprised what LC Orange/XMT2 can do.......my dad's minivan had 3 scratches on front passenger door, about 2 feet long each! He thinks it's from someone's shopping cart at the grocery store!! Clayed first then LC Orange/XMT 2 via PC 7424. Worked it in for 5 minutes. Did this twice. Cleared up the top 2 scratches and minimized the other. It was a little deeper. Can't see it now, unless you look real close. Both of us were happy! LOL
WG and then MaxWax! Please post pics when you're done!!

Thanks for your help. | You may need a lighter polish after the XMT 2/3 with the orange pad to remove marring. I am not sure the cleaner polish does that, but I am not familiar with that product.
You might like putting the wax on with a Lake Country blue pad. You get a nice even application. I would remove by hand--I think thats waht most of the folks here do.
I use the Lake Country blue pad for sealants and wax, but maybe I am doing it wrong??? SInce everybody seems to approve the grey pad for this.  | | |
