No quickies here! Treat it like a woman. Work it slow, talk dirty to it.:D Then speed up at the end, with lighter pressure for the final pass.

Don't you mean slow it down at the end with lighter pressure? Start fast>>end slow.

For a woman or polishing? For a finishing polish you can move faster, than for regular polishing. Yes. Then you lessen the pressure to burnish to nice gloss. By slow I meant give it time to break down(time wise).

The polish you use shouldn't dictate any difference in movement. PG, SIP, 106's and 85rd all get worked across the panel with very slow surface movement from the start to the finish. The only thing that changes is RPM.

I've yet to use any Menzerna polishes that can be worked in "quickly". Take your time and work it in until the polish is clear and fully broken down and you'll be amazed with the results.

so do i start out slow at like 1300rpm and finsh off at 1500 with light pressure or higher?

Start at a low RPM like 900 to spread the polish and depending on the polish/defect, bring the speed up to <1500>. Then, once completely broken down, bring the speed down in 100-200 RPM increments until you get to ~900.

I was taught both ways. Some say to move a tad faster with a finishing polish. Then some say to move the same slow speed. Both with lighter pressure when the polish has broken down. I think autogeek's video for XMT finishing polish says to move a little faster. If I'm not mistaken.

I don't see the benefit/advantage of faster movement?

so the verdict is slow down towards finish?

Move the same speed as you did for the SIP.
