I apply 5-7 pea size dots of polish on the primed pad, and do 5-6 passes per section. I spread the polish on speed 2-3, and work the polish on speed 5-6(i always make sure that there is enough compound/polish on the surface, and that the surface is not too hot). I then wipe off most of the residue with a MF towel, and go over the section using an IPA 35% solution wipedown. I also always wash the car after compounding/polishing, due to the high dust generated by 3M polishes(yeah, kinda need to change to something better). Menzerna HC400 not available in my region. Thinking about trying Rupes compounds/polishes, since i am using Rupes pads. Or try Megs pads/polishes.
The Rupes compounds are awesome.
They don't get much love, but that is all I use with my Rupes tools.
They remind me of Menzerna in terms of overall quality, performance, and user experience.
