Hi all, I've been lurking around here for a while a finally dicided to ask a question. I have a 7 month old black car (Kia Sorento) with plenty of swirl marks direct from the dealer. I've pick up a PC 7336, some LC yellow, white and black pads. I have 1Z MP and PP, VM, scratchX and 3M-SMR. My questions are:
1- what would be my best starting point (which product and pad) ?
2- what speed should I start out with?
3- Would these products work or should I get some PB's SSr's

I have to admit that I'm a bit concered about putting the PC to my paint.
Thanks in advance for the help!
 
Use a white pad with PP and a speed of 5. This should take care of the swirls. Next follow with a white pad and MP at a speed of 4. This will clean the paint and give you a great shine. You will need a sealant.

I would recommend getting 1Z Glanz Wax as your sealant. Lastly, don't worry about using the PC. You will not harm the paint. Good luck.
 
andriver, thanks for the reply. I do have 1Z GW along with P21S, Natty Wax, NXT and EX. I also have the Klasse twins. Is 1Z Gw my best bet after using the PC?
 
I agree with andriver's recommendations about the 1ZPP followed by 1ZMP. Glanz Wax will magnify any paint imperfections, so only use it if you are perfectly happy with your swirl removal efforts. For a more forgiving finish, I'd be inclined try a Vanilla Moose/EX combo instead.
 
Don't worry about using the PC. You won't hurt anything with the PC...unless you drop it on the hood :)
I'd use the PP at about 4.5 speed and then top with EX.
 
Thanks all for the replies. I hoping the weather clears up a bit here in NY so I get started. Is PP about the same as SSR2 or should I get some just in case. (Boy, the car payments are less than I'm spending on detailing supplies LOL)
 
RAVEN....didn't they tell you that this detailing habbit will necessitate getting a second job !!! :lmfao

I'll second the advice on VM/EX combo. Very nice!!!
 
Not sure about the second job but I may be looking for a new wife if she ever finds out just how much detaling stuff I've ordered in the last six months!. :lmfao She's really doesn't understand why I hug my steering wheel LOL
 
Here's a pic of my love (car not wife) before weather hit. It's hace a couple of layers of P21S on her, dreps with AIO.
 
Dr Groove, I just love it! It's got about 7500 miles on it now and is my daily driver. So far I haven't had a single issues with it. You just can't be the waranty either, 5 yrs, 60,000 miles bumper to bumper and 10 year, 100,000 mile power train. (and a ten speaker audio system with separate power amp :lmfao )
