A little background, I've been using the PC 7424XP for the past few years now and I've had some great results but I find it takes me a significant amount of time to complete a single job. I usually take anywhere from 13-16 hours to get through some good paint correction (no wet-sanding) for...

Here's some recent pics of the work I did on my brothers 2003 VW GTI 20th Anniversary. Such an awesome colour to work with! hood reflection roof reflection hood reflection

That's the one! I don't think I put it on when I first got my PC. I called PC today and they shipped one out to me free of charge. :xyxthumbs: I've read up on it before. When I get some free time I will definitely give it a shot. Thanks for the advice!

just found this as well. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/questions-about-porter-cable-7424xp-7424-7336-griot-s-meguiar-s-dual-action-polishers/6051-how-hot-does-your-pc-7424-get-2.html i'm going to check if i have the spacer in place.

i dont think this is the case but i am definitely going to check the clearance to see if the spacer is necessary. it could be that i need to slow the speed down to 5 (i dont think the PC has .5 increments). thats exactly it, it seems as if the heat build up is transferring through to the pad...

By spurring I was referring to cleaning on a low speed with a soft tooth brush. The centers of the pad is what's wearing out on me way too quickly

Good to know. Thanks man!

Cool. Thanks! Anyone else?

thanks for your reply. what speed are you using the pad at?

Gear: XP7424 with 5.5" LC CCS white, orange, yellow pads and Optimum polish II I would imagine that these pads are capable of doing more than one vehicle. I seem to be wearing out the centers after a single vehicle and I am look for some feedback as to what I am doing wrong. When using these...

Gear: XP7424 with 5.5" LC CCS white, orange, yellow pads I'm still relatively new to paint correction but I've been working at it when I can. I finally got around to using Optimum Hyper Compound Spray for the first time. The finish on my vehicle's paint was very poor and decided to try the...

Awesome job. I've only ever used XMT360 with green and white CCS pads. I never thought of using it with orange or yellow. So did the orange or yellow CCS pads end up swirling or maring the paint?

This past Saturday I had a customer bring by a 4 door 2010 VW Golf for my 'New Car Protection' package. When I received the car it was fairly clean and real easy to spot some very minor swirling. With a the new car package I would normally just use a pre-wax cleaner but I felt this was the...

x pattern is perfectly fine then follow up with single lines. give it a shot and get a feel for it. optimum polishes are very friendly and easy to use.
