I used Adam's Machine Polish with my new Porter Cable and I need some fine tuning of my technique. I ended up with little white specks from my white foam pad on the roof. I either used too much pressure (don't know how this could be as I only used the weight of the machine) or I went too slow. I did a section at a time, 2' by 2' and worked the polish about 2 to 3 minutes each section. I moved the machine about 4" every 2 seconds. I kept the foam pad moist with detail spray. My results were pretty impressive but I know I can do better. Anything obviously incorrect in my technique? Do the pads wear out after a couple of uses? Forgive my impatience master. Grasshopper wants to grow from novice to pro pronto.
