XQIZT Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The product order is correct, but I am not sure what type of results you'll see using straight Revive on the grey/black pads. Some do mix FMP with Revive for even finer polishing. Glaze isn't a machine applied product.....yet...right now, its really easy to just apply by hand. As far as Americana, thats also a hand product and I'm not even sure how your get it on a machine pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGenCoupe Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Severe Swirl Remover-GreenSwirl & Haze Remover -Orange Fine Machine Polish- White Machine Super Wax-Grey Americana- Red Hex applicator Revive- Blue Hex Applicator , As of right now there is no pad for the glazing. Its done by hand, but there is a glazing pad in the works . If you get the pc kit, the pads and polishes come with it. Also americana can only be applied with the hex applicator. Theres no way your getting it on a PC pad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonz0 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I am showing total ignorance and noobishness, but couldn't I use the hex pad that came with it to get the Americana from the tub to the PC pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd wind up wasting a lot of product into the pad anyway. Its SO easy on, easy off, that using a machine is overkill anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its SO easy on, easy off, that using a machine is overkill anyway. I have applied it by hand and it was easy. But you have answered my main question I think, which is that there is no advantage to using a PC with this step or the Glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Some guys use putty knives to get the Paste onto their Grey PC pad. It's not a great idea, and a big waste of product. APW is designed for Hand Use. It's a Paste. If you want to use Revive on a machine, the Grey PC Pad works, although you will have better results using FMP. IF you are looking for a quick shine pass, with some minor filling in it, Revive will be your friend. I like to use it in between FMP and Sealant. If you want to use BG on a Machine Pad....uh.....wait for it.....wait for it..... IF we were only testing something like that right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonz0 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ah, if only indeed ;-) So I have broken down and purchased Fine Machine and Super Sealant. Assuming I wait the requisite curing time for the super sealant (I have heard from 20 min up to 48 hours- would love to see if there is consensus on the time required), is this the correct order? 1. Rinse, 2 Bucket Wash, Clay etc. 2. Swirl and Haze with Orange Pad and PC 3. Fine Machine Polish with White Pad 4. Revive by Hand 5. Glaze by hand (do I glaze before or after Sealant)? 6. Super Sealant with black pad and PC 7. Wait for cure 8. Americana by hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XQIZT Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Flip 5 and 6 and you're good to go...sealants always go onto bare paint, as they bond to the surface. THEN wait, up to 24 hours, before applying Glaze, then you can go for wax. Oh...and protect your face...its gonna melt off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americana by hand I think what you mean by 'time required' for sealant is wait 30 min. after applying to wipe it off THEN wait 12-24 hrs (24 is better) before applying ANYTHING else. Also this is the only time you have this extended wait time. I'm still a newb too so if I'm wrong someone please correct me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wait 20 minutes for the MSS to cure, then you wipe it off. THEN you wait 24 hours before topping the MSS with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
