360, spot light, pad centering.

Hey everybody, I have a few more questions about using my PC.

< Don’t think the PC will fit under my wing. So I will use the 2-sided foam applicator pad to apply #3. Should I buff the polish until it clears, as it does w/ the PC?

< On all the spots I can’t use the PC on (i.e. edges of clear bra) can I use 360 like a LSP?


< I plan on getting shop lights, what wattage should I choose?

< How long should I wait to use the Souveran Spray wax after using LS?

< does anyone have a secret for centering LC pads?

I was thinking about getting a grease pen and marking four corners on the back of the pad. Measuring .75in from the edge, for a 6.5in pad using a 5in back plate.
Is this a good idea?

Thanks for all the help. Soon I will do a full write up. And have the sickest EVO in Orlando!!

O man check out Eazy-E in Scooby's Avatar! AWESOME!

Anyways, to address the lighting question. I just did lights in my garage. They were 2 bulb flourescents my wife got from work for free, so that's how I chose them. They have a 40watt and a 32watt round flourescent bulb in each. They are square lights and I did 8 of them in a 2-car garage and there is plenty of light. I would say, if you were doing a 2-cay garage and you got the standard 2-bulb, T-8, 4' flourescents, you would need 3 per parking stall, and maybe another one over a work bench or something. I will get you a pic of my lighting when I get home and upload from my camera, just so you have an idea of what I am talking about.

Scooby's cruisin down the street with Eazy-E in his 64!

A1, maybe you can take off your wing so you can PC the rest of your trunk if it's not too much trouble. That way you won't have half the trunk looking polished and the other half looking out of place.
