    Good for you Mike, don't be afraid to bump it up to 6 for even better results. You will not burn through or scratch with this set up. I feel better knowing you think this is a lot of work also. Dennis

    Not sure if it helps or not Mike but I polished the whole car on #6. Started each section on 2 or 3 to spread the polish then bumped it all the way up and did the whole car like that. It wont hurt to try and increase your speed and slow down your passes. Hope Mike Phillips agrees. Dennis

    When I started reading up on removing swirls and how the Random orbital polishers are the way to go for novices and Porter Cable was highly recommended I remembered I had purchased a PC 7336 many years ago for buffing a lacquer job that I had sprayed on some custom furniture.

    Mike: I have worked with tape & masking thousands of times over the years. Never buy cheap plain masking tape especially if it's used in the sun as that is when adhesive transfer takes place. 3m blue painters tape is very sticky and sometimes comes off quite hard if left on for a few days. They...

    Once I had mine washed ,clayed, dried, completely dust free. I would say it took me around 6 hrs to apply the 205. The car looked fantastic with just that step. I did not use a sealant but wen't right to the nxt 2.0 with a black or gray pad whatever you call it. The wax did not add much more...

    I kept the washer on my pad as I think its job is to keep the pad away from the counterweight. It worked fine for me. As far as using the 205 I remember hearing on many of the videos to always start off with the least aggressive pad or product that does the job. I started my vet with the 205 and...

    Hi Mike: Iam new here also so please defer to the experts, but I will tell you my experience. I also have an 04 Torch Red vet that was shiny but was loaded with swirls which were quite evident in the sun. I tried every hand applied product on the market to no avail. After finding this site...
