Average time to polish a car (2wice) with 3401?
Hey guys,
For the purpose of giving an estimate, how long would it take to polish a medium sized car (nissan maxima/toyota camry) twice over with menz sip and 106ff with the flex 3401?
I have LC and Sonus pads.

Time will vary so it can average anywhere from 4 hours to 8 hours to polish a car that size. The amount of time spent polishing will depend on machine speed, pressure, outside temp. humidity, condition of the car, etc....

I was thinking 4 hours minimum with Flex, thats about what my Vette takes with SIP/106FF. With PC it took about 6 hours to do correctly.

I did a Honda Civic yesterday with the 3401 and 106ff. It took about 4.5 hours for polishing (1x with white pad, and 1x with gray). I probably could have been done sooner if I was using SIP as there were quite a few areas I had to go over twice/three times to remove swirls.

4+ hours eh? Okay, that sounds reasonable.

Wow, unless you have very nice paint to start off with that easily cleans up I would be hard pressed to finish a 2 step polishing job in under 10 hrs. 4-5 hours is flying! how do you guys break down your polish that fast and yet still remove the swirls.
