Mike has the protercable How to and a video, some thing like that will be great.

Mike if you have time at hand Video will be really good, but a How to article will be helpful as well

Thanks

In order to break down step by step it is necessary to judge the amount of correction needed on the vehicle. But as an example using a makita and menzerna polishes on an oxidized finish with some rids, providing the cut is appropriate. powergloss on an orange ccs pad at 1600-1800 rpms for 6 section passes, follow with sip on a white ccs pad at 1400-1600 rpms for 8 passes to bring back clarity, and finally finish out with po85rd with a grey or blue pad to jewel the paint to perfection at 1200-1400 rpms for 4 passes with medium pressure then lighten up for 4 passes.

This is just an example and work time and pressure will affect the number of passes to fully break down the diminishing abrasives. Its all about experience for this (the color, consistency of the polish) With a makita I normally spread at speed 1 (600 rpms then lift off and set my rpms where i feel is necessary)
