Hi there, I just got to use my new PC for the first time (after two practice runs on an old TR 7 Triumph in need of a paint job anyhow). The process to mine was as follows:

Washed truck with Dawn
Z-18 Claybar (lubed with Z7/water mix)
Washed w/Z-7
Blow Dry with leaf blower (not used for leaves though)
PC SSR 2.5 (seems a bit much but the paint was in bad shape with scratches and swirls, the car wash guy at the dealership looked a little surley last time I saw him) w Edge 2K Orange pad.
PC Z-PC w Edge 2K White Pad (wasn't sure about the pad choice though (Like I said I'm a newby)
PC Z5 (ZFX'd) w Edge 2K Blue Pad
Z6 by hand w Cobra green Microfiber
PC Z5 (ZFX'd) w Edge 2K Blue Pad
Stoneys on Tires

I am still learning how to use my wifes camera so be easy on my photographic skills

Stoner's MSLT is my guess. I like the dressing on the tires, whatever it is. Is it waterbased?

Good job with the PC too
 
Great job on the truck one suggestion for the next time you wash it, drop the Dawn dish soap....you will wash off all that work that you just did. There are tons of good dedicated car wash soaps threw our sponsors.

The one that I like most is by Poorboys

I away heard that useing a PC with Zaino you are going to use way to much polish.

Fist off thanks for all the positive feedback

I do indeed intend to NEVER use dawn again unless I have too.

Sorry it was not Stoners, or even Stoneys, it was just some No Touch, I have pretty good with not getting spatter from it.

I used Stoners Invisible Glass on the windows (sorry, busy week and alot on my mind, anyone in this forum from Fort Worth?)

I was concerned with using too much of the Z with the PC myself, but I actually used less than when doing it by hand and felt that the results were better. Normally (maybe I used too much to start with) I was using about two onces per coat and with the PC I was able to get two coats on the truck and one on our shower (works great at keeping the water spots down, I use whatever is leftover in the bottom of the bottle).
