I was excited to try out my new products on my pop's car this weekend. The plan was to try out the products and then next weekend use them on a customers car. I have to say this weekend was a bust. I started off Saturday morning running around town trying to pick up a few things: target for MF towels and BJ's for terry towels since they had them in bulk (which, btw, puts ALOT of lint on pads when cleaning pads on the fly). I washed the car, only to have it rain as soon as I was done.
After drying the car, I clayed and then started machine polishing the hood with Optimum Poli Seal with a tangerine LC hydro pad, using my PC7424XP. I've read that this combo works great! It didn't do so good for me
The paint didn't have bad swirls at all...very light at the least. This combo seemed to have no affect at all. I was frustrated at this point, so I gave up for the night and decided to search the forum for others experience with this combo. Alot of people say these two works great together. Some say it didn't have any cut.
I tried to give this combo another shot. Same results. I then switch to a white LC CCS pad and it cut just a tad bit better, but I could still see swirls. I gave up before I gumed my pads up too much. I was using speed 5 with 3 pea size amount of product, with between 6-8 passes. I was almost afraid of dry buffing, but everyone who has used this stuff says to put it on thin. I decided to put some Collinite 915 on the hood, just to test the application and removal. I spread this product on very thin as well and didn't have any problems wiping off.
Well...I can say I'm disappointed at the least. I was expecting alittle better results with the Poli-Seal. I wasn't expecting the same results I got with my 4 stage polish on my Acura, but I was expecting the same results as those who have used this combo, and who has also posted pics on their results.
Any suggestions?
On another note, I have discovered that I like country music......wwwwoooaaahhhhh!!! Its surprising because I mainly listen to hip-hop, r&b, and jazz. I can definitely say that I now like all genre's of music, including country and classical music.
