    PC setting with Menz?

    Getting ready to do an '02 Mercedes. Has lots of swirls and a few scratches. Just got the Menz intro kit. What setting is best for the PC for both polishes? 4-5? or 6?

    Always speed 6 IMO. With the PC, you need as much speed as you can get to break down the polish.

    PS - nice guitars, got any more pics?

    I always use 5 or 6. I find the PC to be useless under setting 5 when it comes to polishing.
    What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about???

    Cool... I have a Fender Princeton Amp and Fender Jaguar Guitar that my mother bought me in 1964. She purchased a Airline Guitar from Wards but the instructor hated so bad that he refused to give me lesson unless she bought something decent. Took lesson for two months a quite.

    Re: PC setting with Menz?

    These products were formulated for use with high-speed rotary polishers that will provide sufficient friction to fully breakdown the diminishing abrasives. Using these polishes with a random orbital buffer (PC) I've found that it doesn’t provide the friction necessary to fully break-down the diminishing abrasives efficiently and could result in imparting additional surface scratches; this is due to the size of the remaining abrasive particles and there cutting ability. This means the results will probably not meet the normal high standard of finish these polishes are known for.

    However, if you are using a random orbital (PC) stick to the CeramiClear polishes, as they have more correction abilities than the non-CeramiClear polishes, and you need as much cutting power as you can (i.e. SIP, speed 6 on an Orange LC 4-inch pad for correction and then PO106FF on a White LC 4-inch pad to eliminate any compounding marks and for a final finesse shine, follow with PO85RD on a black LC 4-inch pad for a brilliant gloss. For soft clear coats use FPII on a white LC 4-inch pad
