What dial speed do I use with it. I have a PC 7336 and Meguiars pads.
I usually use 5 with Megs 83 and 80. 83 is dusty I'm finding out.
My car is black.

I'd probably start on 4 and make my way up to 6 for the best results.
 
How big a section do I do and arm speed. I have some micro marring.

Thanks
 
What I do is break it down into sections. I make my hood into about 4-6 sections, and just do one section at a time for a few mins. (I have a large hood) Some reccommend a 2 foot x 2 foot square. I'm assuming arm speed is how fast you should move it across the surface, and I would consider my arm speed slow.
 
Yes, how fast i move the arm across the surface. Thanks. This ought to be fun.
BTW I taped the trim this time...:D

That helps a lot. Cleaning up after that is a pain in the...

Just about forgot. How much product do I put on pad ? I was thinking about a quarter size.

Thanks

That works. You kind of just do it and learn from your past experiences.
 
OK!
Will it dust? I used DACP the other day and it was nasty.
Also how does heat affect it? I'm in the Midwest. High tomorrow is in the 90's plus humidity.

buff on 5.5 (thats between the 5 and 6) to 6 on the dial, and work the XMT till hazes (flash cures). Consider three small lines running across the pad, and spritz pad with water or Qd'er as possible to dampen (very light) and extend polishing time slightly. All polishes will powder to a certain degree, but lots of it likely is caused by overuse of polish.
 
Thanks. Think I'm using too much polish. This ought to be fun!
