mcimiluca Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ive used the PC several times and watched all the videos... cant quite get a grasp on how many times to go over the same section in on shot.

Chewy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 so should i wipe off the FMP before i do the revive... and MSW isnt really necessary for garaged cars correct? I'd skip the Revive and go with the MSW. I'm guessing your car isn't ALWAYS garaged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XQIZT Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 For each section, I've gone twice in each direction...left/right, then up/down repeat...then wipe and inspect. reload the pad and either move on or repeat the next section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I would say 2-3 passes is an average! If you can do your correcting with 1 pass ,your paint was in pretty good shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 so one coat of MSW should do it... then i can do two coats of americana ? Than a coat of BSG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitelord Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Personally I would use the MSW if you already have it. The polish is simply correcting your swirls/imperfections. The MSW is the protection you want for your hard work... Gotta love that shine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'd start with FMP like you want and see if that does it. You can also try FMP with an orange pad if the mood strikes you. It's really up to you. Remember... More of an art... less of a science. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11chevz71 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 That helps clear some things up... Basically what im trying to do is maintain my finish as of now. Its a brand new car... but i wanted to do some polishing and waxing on it within the week or two. theres not many swirl marks and scratches because its brand new paint. i was thinking of doing some FMP, followed by revive and americana since its garaged kept. Does that sound good? Sounds great if there is only micro swirls in the paint. If you dont suceed with fmp on the white pad try shr on it. if that doesnt work i would go with the orange pad and SHR.

11chevz71 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 All depends on the severity of the finish. There's no written rule. Most people will do a few passes and then move to the white pad and if not good move back down... Watching Adams, and Junkmans vids will clear a lot of this up. It's an art and it takes many times before you have a complete grasp of it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitelord Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm with Chris. It really depends on the condition of your specific finish. That being said, once I've done the car, it normally takes me 2 or 3 passed to maintain the surface i want. But I'm really picky... really picky.. I might spend 20 minutes on a single panel, if the spirit moves me. :pc: I love the PC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
