Scratch remover first starting with a white pad, assuming you bought LC CCS pads, if swirls are still apparent move up to the orange pad, buff at a setting of 5. Follow up with AFP on a white pad at 5. While it is not necessary to use the cleaner, as the AFP should give you an LSP (Last Step Product) ready finish, you can surely use it since you have it prior to applying your sealant/glaze. Using the blue pad, apply the sealant at 4, allow to dry to a haze and buff off. Allow the sealant to cure for at least 12 hours, do not get it wet at any time during this period. Then top it off with the Souveran either by hand of using a blue pad at 4.

What is your car care goals?




If you have never used a PC before give this a read-through as it covers how to use one of these tools in detail.

Tips and Techniques for using the PC 7424XP Dual Action Polisher to remove Below Surface Defects (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/expert-tips/20021-tips-techniques-using-porter-cable-7424xp.html)

First, here's a few time saving tips that everyone learns when they're new to machine polishing.

1. Never turn the polisher on until the face of the buffing pad is in contact with the surface of the paint.

2. Never lift the buffing pad off the surface until you have turned the polisher off.

Like this,

If you do either of the above, especially if you lift the buffing pad off the surface before the pad slows down after you’ve been buffing for a while and your pad is now wet with product, you’ll throw product splatter all over the car as well as yourself and anyone and anything nearby.

Also just to note, I deleted your duplicate post on the same topic.

On discussion forums you only need to post a topic once and then wait till people reply. Posting it twice to the same forum will just lead to confusion.
