New guy from Virginia

Hi! I'm Joe and I recently purchased a PC 7424 and I hoping to find tips here on using it correctly. I've always been a hand application kinda guy, but Father time is catching up to me.

I have four vehicles, and my first attempt at detailing with a PC will be on a 98 Black Honda CR-V I plan on using Mother's 3 step system.

There's seems to be lots of good information here and I'm glad I joined ya'all

Welcome Joe. Nice to have another Virginian on board. The '98 Honda should be a fun correction, they typically have a soft clearcoat that corrects easily and on a black you'll surely see a nice improvement.
