    First time using PC..

    The first "test spot" I was applying to much pressure, I took a sharpie to the backing plate afterward like you showed in a video. Next time I try it I'll try to double check everything.

    First time using PC..

    Thanks everyone. Hopefully sometime in the next month or so I can get the entire thing done. It's my step sisters. It's just an old beater. No tags right now.

    First time using PC..

    Well I had a mission to use the PC today, since it was about 68 degrees. Not having much money I was using Meg's UC with an Orange LC Flat Pad. I only got to use it on my hood, but it's pretty obvious that I am going to have to get a more aggressive polish. I got most of the swirls out, but I...

    Polishing for the first time.

    Dodge wont do anything about it. I called them and the lady wouldn't give me the time of day. I haven't had a chance to go to the dealer yet. I work at walmart and this time of year it's work, work, work. Thanks for the response A4. Oh and I'm in St. Augustine, FL.

    Polishing for the first time.

    Is there a way to check to see if it is actually clear coat? I will go by Dodge Wednesday and talk to them.

    Polishing for the first time.

    I will definitely look into it. Here's those pictures. They aren't the best I can get more later, currently stuck on the couch with whatever flu is going around. The entire line is the CC. Top left, the small circle, possible bird bomb. I already have the Pinnacle Clay and Lube, NXT 2.0...

    Polishing for the first time.

    I looked at it but im on a pretty limited budget, I've got plenty of MF's and a QD. I will replace the polish enhancer with the glaze. Edit: Didn't see your post Dubbin1. I bought the truck November 09. I've got a picture somewhere of the clear coat peeling, ill try to dig it up.

I will be using it on my 06 Dodge Ram, I am not too worried about messing anything up but there are a couple problem areas that im concerned about. On the side of the hood and a small spot...

    Attempt to bring the shine..

    I definitely had enough lube, actually thought I had to much. I was using Pinnacle's clay and lube. Maybe I just had too high of expectations for it.. I couldn't tell a difference where I used it. Didn't really have a problem, it just slid right off with no resistance, but I would get random...

    Attempt to bring the shine..

    I think it went pretty well. There's still quite a few spots I'll probably hire someone to polish but that's for another day and topic. I got rid of about 50-60% of the swirls but still not as nice as I wanted. Well here's the pictures, I tried to bring them as close to true to life as...

    Hello from NE Florida

    Only thing I am not sure about is the CCS Euro Foam Hand Polish Applicators - Hand polish, hand detail, foam applicators, CCS foam pads, polishing pad which was recommended earlier. I don't think I have the right product to use the Orange and I believe the RED should be used for waxing?

    Hello from NE Florida

    I was wondering how to exactly apply it and have been reading for over an hour when I should apply it and how to exactly. My interior is almost spotless, there is a small black stain in the driver side and what looks like water damage on the rear seat, I picked stuff up to pull it out yesterday...

    It's not too bad until the sun goes down. I'm working evenings right now (outside!) and once that sun goes down we layer up. I've actually considered getting a thicker jacket this year.
