Hi,
I have the blackfire duo and I want to correct swirls and mild scratches in my 09 Mercedes. I have a few questions.
I used to use wolfgang by hand, but now I've just started using the porter cable.
How hard do you press? I notice if I press harder the pad stops spinning and the index mark I made stops moving. So I assume I'm just using the weight of the porter cable with a little added light pressure?
I am going to clay, then I was going to use Wolfgang polish enhancer to get any old sealant and stuff off. Is this step necessary, or a waste of time? I figured I should get the paint as clean as possible before I start polishing. Which pad should I use for this? Right now I have LC CCS orange, white and red pads. I tried this on my Wife's new car, and it seemed to increase the shine, but I used a red pad and I think I should have used white.
Then I was going to use the duo. SRC compound first right? With an orange pad?
Then I was going to use the finishing polish. Can I use this with the white pad? I saw someone said to use grey.
Then I am going to use Wolfgang sealant with the red pad.
Then the next day I am going to put some Meguiars wax on that I have. Just going to wax it every few weeks until I use up this wax.
Thanks!
