    I didn't install the handle. I'm going to install the washer this morning and play with the speeds. Thanks for the info. Great site and people.

    Re: wrong already

    UPDATE; I'm an idiot. I admit it and will start attending classes lol . Installed the washer on DA and it's working a lot better. I definitely need to get some 3" pads for the Harley detailing but what I could get too looks great. Not perfect but way better than it did. I bought the 179.99 PC 7424xp kit here on Autogeek and it came with the wolfgang 3.0 swirl remover and 3.0 finishing glaze . Looks awesome. Do I need to add some Cannabus wax on top of this?

    Mike said somewhere, and I agree, for swirl removal use 15 lbs of downward force, and on speed 5, or 6 with a PC. Don't be affraid to hit speeds 5, or 6. The PC is a loud machine, and full of vibrations at those speeds. It's just the way it is.

    Don't beat yourself up too bad. I've got a couple of bikes too and free-spinning DAs aren't the best tool for the job, especially with 5 or 6 inch pads. There's a lot of tight areas, curved areas, and edges to contend with. While the DA will perform effectively on many of the surfaces, others will require either hand polishing or use of some type of mini-polisher.

    Nah, save that for recreational needs, Carnauba would probably be fine though.
