I live in the upper Midwest where we can have 6 months of hard winter. They use a ton of salt on the roads. I don’t mind winter, all the snow, the below zero temps, etc… but I HATE all the salt. I have access to a garage with about a 45 degree inside temp where I can wash and/or rinse my car...

I'll second this motion... DO NOT LET IT HAZE unless you hate your shoulders and forearms.

I went 4 days between PNS and 476 applications. I hear you and you sound much more knowledgeable than I on this stuff... I was just trying to get the best winter protection I could with the products and order I used them. I guess I would like to know if anybody has real world experience with...

I now know what "spaghetti arms" feels like... I hope never again! :)

I did do this some and it worked OK... I had to turn the speed setting up to 5 or 6 in some areas to cut cut through some of it. It was thick and bad!

Very well could have... I put it on thick for the upcoming winter. I sure learned my lesson!! Funny and ironic thing is that I got the DA to apply by machine to save my arms and shoulders... guess that backfired on me big time with this case!

Great advice I wish I knew before I applied it to the whole car and allowed it to haze. My arms are still sore! LOL!

So I'm pretty new to the detailing world. Over the weekend I worked on my Honda Accord to protect it for the upcoming winter that seems to just about be here already in the upper midwest. It hasn't seen a coat of wax in maybe 2 years. I clayed it, applied BF One Step by machine with a...

Thanks Mike. I was on speed 4 most of the time and I could keep the pad spinning pretty well as long as I didn't put too much down pressure on it.

I used 4 pads, maybe 5.

I am spreading on setting 2 first before bumping the speed up to 5/6. I think my issue might be more of using saturated pads. But if I keep it on speed setting 4, I'm fine. Not sure if speed setting 4 maximizes product application to its full potential, but I like the results. Thanks for...

I was asking about technique that might be causing the splatter in the last thread and asking about how much BF One Step to use in this thread. Probably could of kept it to one thread, but I thought it was different enough to be separate....

Blackfire One Step Experience Used BF One Step for the first time recently and ran into some splatter issues when I was on G9 speed setting 5 and 6. I'm thinking I was using too much product on my pad... I was loading with 3 nickle sized drops per section. I could probably work 2 and maybe...

Thanks for the other replies. I'm going to try to use less product and pay more attention to that which brings up another question on amount of product to use, I think I'll start another thread on that.

Thank you. There was definitely a difference between new and "absored in" stage with the pad. Once it was absorbed in, I could control it better although I still got splatter.

Yes, completely dry pads. For a new pad, I put 2 rings of product on the pad face and smear it out with my finger until it completely covers the pad face then start on a section. Then for subsequent loadings, I put 3 nickle sized drops per section. If I'm was working around corners, edges, or...

Yes, I'm talking about splatter after the pad was against the flat surface and I only changed speeds while against the surface. Some of the splatter was fine specks, some were larger dots, and others were larger splats that were thrown close to the pad.

I recently used a DA polisher for the first time and polished my Tundra. I used the GG G9 with 5" backing plate, 5.5" green LC flat foam pads, and BlackFire One Step. It took a little getting use to but after a while I got the hang of it. I used 5 pads to do the whole truck. I would...

Would it make sense to use a "plastic polish" and then apply the PNS? Griot's Garage Plastic Polish, polish headlights, polishing plastic windows

Any advantage to applying or removing PNS by machine rather than by hand?
