    Side skirts/Ground effects question...

    Just got my PC from AG last week, unfortunately the weather has been a little chilly to test it out but I have a question. I have a new Mazdaspeed 3 hatch with side skirting/ground effects and I was wondering should that be done by hand or using the PC? If using the PC should I go with a smaller pad because of the way it's shaped? I'm planning on using XMT 360. Any help would be appreciated.

    PS - I did search but didn't find any information

    Hard to say since I don't know exactly what they look like or how tight the space is... smaller pads are generally more manageable and easier to control, but may not be absolutely necessary.

    also depending on how low to the ground they are it might be easier to hand polish just so you dont smash a pad into the ground with your PC on and ruin the pad.

    Those types of panels (rocker panels, lips wrap into wheel wells, under handles, lisence plate recess, etc.) I do by hand.
