I would clean the pad then apply a little swirl and haze then apply alot of pressure. before this watch the junkmans vids for some tips. and also mask the car off so that wont happen again then you will be fine.

A PC isn't for everyone. I don't get good results with it either. I'll stick with doing it by hand.

[jjwvette]

You have to apply some pressure:pc:thats whats nice about the PC.. with the right pad and speed you can't hurt the paint:thumbsup:

[Bill-V8V]

Make sure you are applying enough pressure and moving the PC slowly

[11chevz71]

Also do little section and go back and fourth then do it the other way instead of short strokes do long strokes in the area that you are doing. and take you time.

Jared, have you watched any of Junkman's videos?

[jeast]

Yeah I have watched Junkman's videos, I have been using a lot of pressure in little sections and it looks the same on change I don't know what to do. Im going to try tomorrow morning again.

[11chevz71]

Hope it works out.

Maybe the problem is with my PC since it just fell apart. The top part poped off and the a screw came out and the whole head is lose.

 

 

Here is a pic of the swirls in my TR Red GTO

Yikes, never seen a PC fail like that, luckily you came to the right place my friend... as Adam said above WE WILL GET IT RIGHT FOR YOU.

 

With a little patience and practice you'll be polishing out swirls like a pro.

Pressure and time are the two things that take some practice IMO. I am just NOW getting to a point where I am getting OK at it. You HAVE to allow yourself several hours to do this.

 

I did the trunk lid and rear bumper on my G8 yesterday. I went out at 5:30 and came in at 10:00. I spent 3 hours on the trunk and bumper alone. Man does it look good now though...

Do you not drive your car until you finish the whole thing or what?

[Superdutytd]

I'm sure he does, it's okay to polish single panels by themselves.

[Bill-V8V]

But if you do put some wax on

[Superdutytd]

But if you do put some wax on

 

Yes you should do that too.

[11chevz71]

Yes you should do that too.

 

 

Im with you put wax on it to protect it.

Actually, the plastic piece that came off is supposed to be removable like that and if you don't use the side handle, it can be easily removed. The side handle locks it down. I used a new PC at Bloomington Gold and it easily came off when pulled at. My old PC takes a lot more effort but that thing rattles like crazy if you don't tighten it down with the side handle.

If you don't like using the handle just bring it to the hardware store and find a bolt to fit in there, keeps it secure and quiet :thumbsup:
