Arm speed and pressure plus pad polish combo are just a few things that result in good finishes. Speed of the machine, pressure, and of course what paint you are working on.

Pressure is the one thing I'm not certain about and how many passes to make and what you consider a pass ... other than that i think I'm good any advice on those subjects ?

Hey Muscleman Mike has some great videos and there is another guy that has real funny videos and gets real detailed in how to use the PC 7424 XP. On you tube he is known as the Junkman2000. His videos are extremely detailed and he makes watching them fun. Mikes videos are great too. Either way you can't go wrong watching any of them
