First time PC user (pics included)

[tenzin]

I recently order the PC7424,also some pads.

I have no experience at all using DA or any machine, so i had a left over fender, i practiced on. It had (i would say minor swirls).
Drawing a line on the backing plate was a HUGE help, sometimes i noticed it wasn't spinning and i felt like i wasn't putting much pressure on it. very good tip

Process:
Washed and clayed with ONR
XMT#2/LC White pad

I think all the watching and reading did some good.

Just wanted to show some pictures and get some comments on how the work is.

Looks good, In your 50/50 shots there looks to still be some of the deeper swirls left. You might give a try to using the same product but stepping up to an Orange pad, then go to a lighter polish on the white. The number of passes will depend on results. Use an IPA wipe between products and pads VS. passes to inspect your work.

Your work is looking good and for a first time it's awesome! I wish my first attempt would have turned out that nice!

Are there deeper swirls left?? which picture are you looking at??
I made about 4-6 section passes about 3 times of XMT#2/White pad

I haven't looked at it in direct sunlight yet, i was kinda hesitant on going more aggressive. Don't wanna go tooo aggressive.

Also, instead of going orange, what if i just used white pad with XMT#3 or TSR??

Thanks bucks

I think he is referring to the first picture of the 50/50 shot, some of the deeper scratches are left on the buffed side
